We moved to Portland; we have some family here and wanted a second child (now en route). In the Bay Area we couldn't afford a mortgage on anything with more than one bed one bath. Our apartment was a miserable 800 sqft packed to the gills with stuff; no room for a child to play. We were also stymied by child care, which would have been ~30-35k per child. Here in pdx day care is half that, and we bought a fucking 3 bed 3 bath house with a back yard for 75% of the rent on our 800 sqft SF place.
