[SF is very expensive]
Isn't this going to be a problem in any major city? It's certainly not unique to SF... heck, the average house price *here* is more than $500,000* and this isn't a world-leading hub city by any standards.
A lot of these problems really are effects of moving out of Florida, not of where specifically we're moving to.
Some more than others. It's certainly true of all the U.S. cities the foundation considered (Boston, NYC, Washington, SF), but for some reason they considered *only* the most expensive U.S. cities. And those aren't even the ones with the best plane connections, supposedly a major reason for leaving Florida. The top 4 U.S. cities for international plane connections are Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles, of which only New York was considered. And Atlanta and Chicago are considerably cheaper than S.F. (especially Atlanta).
