High Cost of Living Forces Bay Area Residents to Delay Medical Procedures, Kids

I think anyone who cannot afford the cost of living should move to some place where they can afford it. You're not entitled to beach front property in California just because you were born near there. You only hurt yourself when you insist on staying where you cannot afford to live.

2.5 hours by Amtrak to Chicago Union station. You can go in the morning and be back in time for bed. Then you can enjoy shopping and restaurants and still have a peaceful small town life in a nice big house.

In case you haven't been paying attention, that doesn't work. Home builders don't build houses unless they are profitable. When prices fall, they hit the brakes.
