Hopefully, it will be easier in the Bay Area than it would be otherwise.
Speaking as a Bay Area native,[1] I would not use the word “hopefully” here!
(One would hope to find or create a subgroup, but it would be nicer if it were possible to do this somewhere with less-insane housing prices and ambientculture. Hoping that it needs to be done here on account of just having moved here would be the sunk cost fallacy.)
Note that as someone who has up and moved multiple times, I can assure you that it’s possible to make friends in other cities. If you’ve never moved out of your home city, I recommend doing it at least once, for a few years, even if you move back at the end.
