LA though has advantages especially for people in their 30's-40's as their are a ton more places to go out and have nice meals/drinks and places are open till 12-2 rather than closing around 10-11 in SJ. My wife grew up in LA so we go back once a month and leave our 2 young sons with the grandparents and go on date nights.
Off topic: The issue with the area is housing costs and interest rates have shot up. We're lucky when we bought our home here in 2021 was when interest rates were in the 2's and now they are in the 6's and 7's. What we paid in terms of price in 2021 in SJ would probably get a 6000-7000 + square foot home in Texas, Ohio (I picked those 2 because we have friends in these states and that's what they bought size wise) etc. But the quality of life, weather and location is what you pay for as well.

Housing costs are probably a non-issue. The player buys the house, plays there, and then when he's done, sells the house and moves wherever he wants. And probably makes money on it.
