Recommendation below.
Yeah, I'm grumpy because I've had to sit on it for hours on end & hate having to do so. I have lots of pent up energy as my days consist of barely walking barely 1/2 mile per day since nothing I really need is in my vicinity. I have to drive to those places. And gas is kickin' me in the ... need I say it again?
BTW, recommendation:
SF Bay area is wonderful. The city itself is cheaper than some of the suburbs, though I do recommend checking those out as well.
+ San Mateo (my most-of-my-life hometown) is considered a suburb of both Silicon Valley/San Jose & SF. Plus, it's very central with Highway 92, which takes you down a beautiful canyon drive to the Pacific Ocean (& a town called Half Moon Bay) & across the Bay on the 12-mile long San Mateo Bridge.
+ Foster City (another city at the foot of the bridge) is also a place to consider if you like lagoons, ducks, wider city planning, and, in general, very safe, clean neighborhoods. S.Mateo has a little more of the myriad.
+Redwood City is much cheaper, ranges on the lower end in most parts (quite expensive in the hills), and has another bay-spanning bridge: the Dumbarton. It's closer to San Jose & Sun Microsystems is right by the Dumbarton.Eh, there are others, but I really should get back to work since I don't even know if you're considering the Bay Area.
But one more thing before I go. I truly only encourage moving to the Bay Area if you can contribute to the community. IE: Experience it, live it fully, & get the most out of your work/activities there.
Please don't come if you're a slacker or it'll bite you in the arse! (Eh, maybe I'm being a bit extreme. ;^) )
