So, we have been thinking about moving to SF for some time. Although I have done a fair amount of research, I would like to get the take on the job/living situation there from the qbn/nt group currently (or that knows info on such). Any input/help is much, much, much appreciated.
The biggest things are the job prospects and the cost of living/area/neighborhoods I should be checking out.
I am currently a senior interactive designer, that dabbles in flash animation. I have been in the field for 9+ years.

There are a ton of threads on here about SF. Read up on those for some additional info.
I don't live there so I can't comment about the current situation.

I know, and I have been checking them out. I was actually trying to get the most recent info on the situation out there...

Some places are hiring, but it is very competitive out here.

weather was 72 today, it's february. i went camping this weekend and brought a jacket but didn't end up using it.

whereabouts are you looking to move to specifically spellcheck, in city or just outside?
I'm considering heading down there as well but it seems ridiculously expensive to live in the city.

Clicky.
Nightlife on Mon and Sun = dead.
Lotta flakey folks....its the SF way.
Number of hotties = very slim.
Good weed.
Nice weather.
Great food.

I'm curious if there's any motion (mograph, editing, compositing, etc.) work there as well. I've spent a ton of time in SF, and have always wanted to move (I'm born and raised San Diego), but have resigned to the fact that my only decent options work-wise are LA, NY, and London. Any chance for SF?
