I think it's possible, although we probably will see more shifts from inner Bay Area places to outer Bay Area places, like Contra Costa, Napa/Sonoma, or Santa Cruz counties, or even Monterey County rather than places like San Joaquin or Merced which are... less desirable, IMO. Those inland areas are just way too hot for my supple coastal fogkissed skin!
