Mr GG2’s daughter and SIL were living in San Jose because he works in silicon valley and they were in a one bedroom rental with a toddler and an infant. That’s all they could afford. The SIL is French so now they are living in the countryside of France in his parents vacay home with their 3 children and he commutes back to San Fran once a month and then works from home the rest of the time. Crazy!
I too worked in Silicon Valley.
My daughter and SIL live in Georgia so that’s where I headed when I finished my career
