After NYC I think you would find SF claustrophobic after the newness wore off. In terms of land mass it's not large and it's very hilly.

How much do you make? For a family of 6, probably $200,000 is sufficient for a middle-class lifestyle in San Mateo County near where you work.

I hate the whole SF is "anti-children" thought process. Most of the suburbs around SF are very anti-children because of the COL issue. At least in SF your kids can ride a bus/train to many parks throughout the year (Glen Park, Golden Gate, Bernal Heights, Dolores, etc) or ride the bus/train to get food. In the suburbs, you are stuck without a car. I was once that kid growing up in the suburbs of Fremont stuck at home.

I would go with Chicago in your situation, even if the job there pays a lot less than that of SF.
