I love the area. I went this past summer for the first time and totally fell in love with it out there. If it wasn't so expensive out there, I would gladly move there. I might have to at some point because with my fiance's chosen career path, there aren't too many jobs here, but there are many in the Bay area.
Also, I could definitely find work out there in Silicon Valley. So, it could happen....But I am not holding my breath.
