Angel Island! You have to take a ferry but it is great.

I live out in the sunset and like it out here. It's a bit foggy, but it's super quiet. there are 9 microclimates in SF, so the weather can differ a lot from neighborhood to neighborhood. the mission is typically the warmest. also full of hipsters.

You'll like it in SF till you're walking down the street, unable to get on a bus because although the monthly fare has almost doubled in less than a year, they have cut all the bus lines so they're too packed to ride, and you'll be approached by one of many, many homeless peoples asking for money and food. Which is fine.
However, this one will be different. This one will be very adamant about the fact that although he's hungry, although he has no money, although he's been on the street for years, he will ONLY accept organically-grown food.
And you will pocket the delicious sandwich you offered him, as it's a cold, rainy night, and no one should go hungry, and walk away, with him yelling expletives after you for offering him such dirty, cheap, non-organically-grown food.
Then you will rethink your decision to move there. But, it will be shiny and new for about 2 years, so enjoy it. Try and live on the outskirts and commute in---nicer weather/quieter.

Potrero Hill is nice.
Haight is nice but expensive.
Maybe you would consider Oakland?

Being that I'm traveling out, I'll likely hold onto my car for the next 6 months until the dust settles.
As for work, I'll be in Hayes Valley. I enjoy going out and seeing people on the street (which is not the scene in Minneapolis) but I like to escape the rif-raf when I'm at home. A friend mentioned SOMA, but it seems really mall like...

Stay away form SOMA and anywhere near Market Street. Stay away from the Tenderloin, too.

  You said 'escape rif-raf'... that's where the rif-raf is really dense.– palmer_2/2

SOMA, Market and Tenderloin are fine and plenty of good people live there. But once again, it all depends on what you're looking for in a neighborhood. So far, all you've mentioned is that you won't have a car for 6 months.
Where are you going to work in Hayes Valley?
- i live int he tl on OFarrell. Its the last nice street before it turns to shit. Bad neighborhood for a car to. No residential parking.– instrmntl

What is your budget and what are you expecting to get for that budget? What you like to eat, do with your time off, and your other preferences are pretty secondary.
