I don't really understand someone moving states to be a
sub, particularly Northern California, which is not
cheap...

The entire Bay Area is hurting for subs but it is the most
expensive place to live in the US. Sacramento area also
has healthy demand and somewhat cheaper cost of living.

Those are the areas I am familiar with personally, but I
have heard that the entire state has a shortage of subs,
largely because we have a shortage of teachers. Anyone
willing to work regularly as a sub could also get a job as
an intern teacher and work towards certification for
better, but admittedly not good, pay.
