"Just pack up your life and move to another zipcode if you want to have a baby" is such an SF answer it's almost a parody of itself.

I'm not suggesting anybody do that, I'm suggesting that people move to SF for work because the pay makes up for the perks you get elsewhere. Europeans software engineers are better off moving to SF, working for a year, then moving back. Many people do this, mostly for multiple years.
