    I loved living in SF, but left 2 years ago for New Zealand. There are parts I miss: a great area for biking, tame weather, great food, easy access to art and music.

    That being said, its crazy $$, and the constant drama about tech this and that gets old really fast. And holy fucking bike crime batman. I didn't mind the shit everywhere and piss smell while I lived there, but now that its absent its feels gross when i visit.

    Lots of my friends moved to the east bay from SF, and all have mixed feelings about it. If you are thinking about taking a job in SF (and in the city, not down the peninsula), its worth having a look.

    • woah, we left there a the same time. 2 years now in Seattle. and yeah, my first bike was stolen within 6 weeks of moving there...lvl_13
    • so many gutter-punks with massive bike chop-shops there. it's ridiculous and cops don't do shit about it.lvl_13
    • Oh, and when we left our apartment rented for $1000/month more than we were paying.robotinc
    • yup-and there was probably a line of 30 deep waiting to put there application in. fucking brutal competition.lvl_13
