Firstly, do not underestimate the value of friends/family. If you move to the bay without a job/support network you may very well find yourself in a dark demotivating hole that costs more than most of the world to maintain. This is not a good scenario.
That said, make something. Find a way to lessen your cost of living so you have time, and create something cool/useful. Use the tools you want to make your living with. You'll learn both the tools and a lot about yourself during this process. Once you've done this you'll have a decent example of your skills that could land you the gig you need to come to the bay on good terms.
I really have no friends or family that I can rely on here, my family is toxic. So going anywhere else isn't going to make a difference. I mean, I am approaching a point where I'm just going to go off the deep end, so really anything looks good right now.
