There are nice, cheap places all over NorCal, but the expensive part is where the jobs are. Fort Bragg and Redding are absolutely gorgeous but they do not have a dense tech job market.
- lisper 9y agoFort Bragg and Redding are cold and foggy much of the time. Silicon Valley is in an ideal location. There are low-lying hills that keep the fog away, but it still gets enough ocean influence that it doesn't get too hot.
- davidw 9y ago> Fort Bragg and Redding are cold and foggy much of the time Fort Bragg is on the coast, and Redding is inland - they have wildly different climates. Redding is pretty damn hot, actually, and supposedly very sunny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redding,_California#Climate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redding,_California#Climate The politics are probably not something most SF people would like, though (nor I, really). There are a ton of beautiful places around there, though, and in southern Oregon as well. The oak/madrone/pine forests in that area are extremely beautiful in my opinion.
- lisper 9y agoSorry, I somehow got Redding confused with Eureka. Yes, Redding is uncomfortably hot. In fact, that's generally true: everything inland is hot, and everything on the coast is cold. In between there's a narrow strip that is "just right". SV just happens to be in this sweet spot.
