My wife and I lived in San Francisco for 8+ years, but am born and raised in New York City (Manhattan - Upper West Side, to be exact 
). I LOVED California. Didn't care much for Southern California (Sorry guys, no offense), but loved NorCal. I would do it. You can always move back to your roots. Take a chance. Live a little 
.
As Americans, I always find that people have a hard time stepping outside their comfort zone. You need to take risks in life. Afterall, with risk can come reward. Go for it! You won't regret it!

+1. If you really want a global perspective and a true appreciation for both where you are and what you left, you really ought to take it up a notch and live abroad as well.
