There's a lot of reasons to get out of one's house. Work is merely one of them. With the small (but measurable) exodus from Silicon Valley, people are choosing areas that offer more than work as the only reason to leave the house (though, there are many scenic things to do in the Bay Area). However, there are scenic things to do elsewhere too at a fraction of the cost.
