Why would any of the 60 million retiring boomers head to SV to buy an overpriced house?

Widening the area a bit, the Bay Area remains a really awesome place to live. It has a uniquely rich combination of cultural life, climate, outdoor recreational opportunities, consumer facilities (as in shopping and that stuff) and social and political culture. I am still unable to find anywhere I'd rather live in retirement than right here.

Of course, I bought my house in 1992 for 1/3 of its current alleged Zestimate, and pay property taxes accordingly. My energy bills average $100 a month because of a right-sized house and the nice climate. So for me it's also a nice cheap place to live.
