Before moving to Davis in 2012, Julie and I lived in the Presidio in SF. I must say that the Presidio tops the list of cool places I've ever lived (our apartment even had a Pacific view).
After we had kids the apartment life started wearing thin. Housing in SF was just starting to get ridiculous and we were facing preschool costs, etc. It was also important to us that Julie be able to stay home with the kids. Financially, living in SF was starting to look out of reach.
Growing up in Davis I knew it was a perfect place to raise small children. The climate is mild, the people are friendly, and the schools are excellent. When I inherited half of a house there, we made the decision to move to Davis for a while until Julie went back to work. The decision was primary driven by practical considerations. The major downside was going to be the killer commute.
