I’m moving because my husband and I have shared tiny living spaces in San Francisco for over 8 years, we also have a dog. San Francisco will always be home but we’ve been considering relocating for about a year now. Before that, we would have never imagined living anywhere else. If anything, the pandemic accelerated our decision - more space and less congestion with other people. We both work in tech and are beyond grateful to have the opportunity to work remotely at least for the time being — we know this isn’t the case for everyone. Our plan is to stay in Sonoma County for at least a year and determine whether we’d be comfortable staying. We’re planning to move into a rental house - ultimately it’s better for our family to have some space and quiet.

After two fires, one flood and now coronavirus, we had to close our business. We sold the building and all the contents. We will try to sell our house, because taxes are too high, and look for something more affordable...probably in santa rosa. but we won't go too far, cause we have two adult children nearby.
