this is not at all design-related but:
anybody play soccer out there in SF? like a city/regional mens league? I need to line up a job, a place to sleep, and a soccer team for my move this spring. not necessarily in that order.

I moved from NYC to SF about 2 years ago. This is my PERSONAL observation...I prefer NYC. For these reasons...
• San Francisco smells like bong water. Pot is legal (medicinal pot...which anyone can get) in Cali....which is cool when you're visiting but sucks ass when your neighbors are blazed everyday and your apartment permanently smells like a bong. It also effects the way they drive.
• I think this has been said before.... on average the people here dress like Canadians. Some people are fine with that.
• No art galleries.
• I actually find it more expensive than nyc. You need a car.
• The people here are passive aggressive and smug.
• Public transportation SUCKS
• The city is corrupt. Unlike NYC there are virtually no cops on the street. So be prepared to be street smart....because this city is rough and full of angry vagrants.
• It's cold year round. No real seasons.
• Yet to find a brooklyn equivalent.
On the plus side the food is amazing. Once again this is just my 2 cents. I think people are either west coast or east coast. I think i'm east coast all the way.

I found a job super quick after moving out here from NYC in early November.

effort - did you work with eli beit-zuri on the jdate stuff? just wondering if he's still around.
blastofv - there's a peninsula soccer league which plays up and down the peninsula. there are also south bay and east bay leagues if you move into either of those areas.
