It is cold as hell in the Midwest OP. Seriously. It snows all the drat time and builds up on the ground. Even if you pay someone to shovel which you absolutely should, you're still gonna have to deal with it. Also, sometimes it hurts to breathe. Why would you live in a place where it hurts to breathe? Oh great so you can ski all the time right? Nope. No mountains anywhere. Lived in the midwest (Ann Arbor) for a while. Lived in the bay area for a while. So many more things to do. So many more things to eat. Other than Chicago, there aren't really any good restaurants and even Chicago is nothing compared to SF/Yountville/etc. The variety of ethnic food is also much worse. Want pho? Okay sure. You have like 2 choices in your neighborhood instead of 20. Housing is much cheaper than in the bay for sure. So are utilities and gas. But I didn't notice much of a difference in groceries or anything else. Everything costs the same amount of money on Amazon. I also never encountered overt racism (like people shouting racist stuff at you) until moving to the midwest. Whether you care about this or not is up to you. It wasn't a huge deal to me, but your mileage and coloring may differ. To each their own, but I would (and have) taken a 50% pay cut to live in the bay area.
