Steve Dalton, 56, and his partner Sydney Sauber, 58, left California for a lower cost of living in Massachusetts. Sauber was homesick for theNortheast, where she lived for much of her life, though Dalton had never lived anywhere outside the Bay Area. After deliberating staying on the West Coast, they settled on a historic home in Worcester,Massachusetts, the state's second-most-populous city.The cost of living in Worcester is lower than in the Bay Area, and they've found the city accessible for Dalton's mobility challenges.
