Cost of living is much lower, you keep much more of the money you earned

One thing for sure, if they moved there then they are on the safe side
of the San Andrea's fault.

99% of california is east of the fault, including SF and the bay area.

There is no safe side of any fault, and the largest earthquake in the
continental US east of the Rockies was centered in New Madrid, Misery.

Note that the 1906 quake was felt over 6200 sq miles, while the New
Madrid quake (1811) was felt over 1 million sq miles. New Madrid is
within a hundred miles or so of Nashville (Memphis experienced level IX (Violent)
shaking!)

Personally, I'll risk the earthquake over living in tornado alley.
