Cannot afford bay area or nyc neighbourhood. Better to abandon kids than raise them in Seattle or Eastside. Ready to compromise on career growth as I am not a passionate techie. Any suggestions on where to raise a family. Any mid size cities that I can look for. TC 190K

Seattle/Eastside.
I already mentioned my views on eastside in the post. I feel it is not very desirable
Why? Some great schools here. Lots of diversity (as long as you're okay with diversity = Indian and Asian), better cost of living than the Bay (aka, you can actually afford a house here), with plenty of opportunities besides Microsoft/Amazon/Google/Facebook.

How many kids?

Chicago burbs
Rent don't buy. Chicago real estate values are getting crushed by taxes, buy you can avoid the long term risk by renting. Rents are also flat because the metro is slowly depopulating.

Utah
How's th tech scene in Utah? I've heard its a family oriented culture.
Austin. Atlanta. Washington DC.
Thank you for your response. Can I afford DC suburbs
Yes - some areas can be affordable with a decent TC. Northern Virginia or Southern Maryland. The tolls are the most expensive part of living in the Virginia burbs
