If you want to walk/bike to work, why would SF be your choice? About the only good thing is temperature. The hills... OMG the hills. It's also a decent-sized city, so not safe to be exposed to crime like that. One needs a car, not that there is parking. There are apartments in Redwood City. Get one, and the walk/bike experience should at least beat SF. I may be wrong, but the place seems flatter at least. I'm out in Indialantic, FL. It's hot but flat, and houses near work are affordable. I walk 0.9 miles to work, and that's only because I wanted a 4-bedroom on almost half an acre. Maybe the problem is the desire you have for "young". That ought not be a job requirement. If all the young want to live in SF, you can still hire old people.
