Same. I love it here but am frustrated at the dysfunction of the Bay Area. Making a good salary insulates me somewhat to the CoL issues.

Camping in the Sierras is awesome and as a pilot flying in California is a dream. Mission is gritty but there is great food around. It seems to have stabilized.

The kind of stuff I get to work at at Apple is insanely cool and commuting 280 is great.

Still have a good friend group; albeit a bit smaller since folks have moved away.
