Yes, the Bay Area's commute shed has notoriously spread out into the Central Valley due to its lower housing costs. I should note that my family had the money to continue living in San Jose. But they wanted less traffic (which is no longer reliably on offer) and more for their money (which still is). The new house was so sprawling that it had an intercom system.
