Has anyone moved out of a major metro (SF Bay Area, NYC etc) in the last couple years?

Where did you move to, why did you move and how are you liking your new area?

I moved out of NYC to my hometown in Virginia bc of the pandemic. This place makes me revert back to my high school self but at least I don't pay rent 🤷🏻‍♀️

Living with parents?

Boise. Emerging tech hub, incredible outdoor options for the family, affordable housing and general quality of life.

Yes, EM. But planning to exit before travel comes back.

Moved from SF back to Maryland which is where I grew up. The Covid cases in CA accelerated my decision to move. The lower COL + access to great public schools + access to a major metropolitan city (DC) were all critical factors in my decision to move back east.

Moved from NYC during the height of Covid to PA much happier now, my kids were not affected by Covid19 here we went about our daily lives like normal and enjoyed the outdoors while everyone in NYC were stuck in their appartments. It was a great decision for us especially now that Biden will undoubtedly raise taxes.

Moved from San Diego to Phoenix in 2019; still a big city with lots of resources, but much lower cost of living.

I was in NYC and moved back to Virginia/DC area. I was born and raised here. Liking it so much more. I feel more relaxed and my family and friends can see the difference.
