Nobody really brings up that the bay area is one of few places in the US where you can live without a car. Really, even compared to other "walkable" cities beyond a select few, similarly expensive places.
Nobody really brings up that the bay area has better LGBT and other minority protections than anywhere in the US, either. Every time someone mentions cheap midwest cities I have to pull up https://crossingenres.com/out-in-the-united-states-where-can... and see if anything's changed since I last checked.
Nobody really brings up the general art and culture scene in SF and Oakland. Or access to extremely high quality produce and food.
Generally nobody brings up the possibility that some people _want to be here_ outside of their jobs. It's weird.
I guess most of those that want to be here don't really comment on articles like this.
