Vegas baby! If the CA cost of living is too much or you don't want to drive three hours to work, Vegas is not a bad option. It's a pretty easy commute to SFO with roughly 9 UAL flights a day plus another dozen on our competitors (most of whom fly Airbii, so two jumpseats). LAX/DEN are easily commutable as well so a lot of flexibility if things at UAL change, heaven forbid. NV has no state income tax and housing is still comparatively cheap, so the savings are considerable. The schools are not great, so you might consider private schooling if you have any kids who are entering elementary school. Otherwise, if I lived in Norcal I'd live within a reasonable drive of a BART station and take that to work to avoid the traffic misery.
