Moving to San Francisco
- Killswitch 14y agoMy goal is to move to San Francisco. I live in the midwest and there's almost NOTHING worth being here for... I lived in Bakersfield when I was young and nothing is more goal oriented for me than moving to either SF or a surrounding area in California. Thanks for the read!
- jtchang 14y agoJust random curiosity but what is stopping you from moving?
- Killswitch 14y agoRight now? Mostly cost of living is drastically different (Iowa), and work related. Not financially viable for me to go right now unless I had a job already lined up for me there. Goal is in the next 3 years to be there.
- jmathai 14y agoI moved to the Bay Area from Cincinnati 4 years ago. Best decision ever.
- vosper 14y agoI'm a developer originally from New Zealand, lived in London also for a couple of years and now I'm in SF on an H1B. I totally second Alex's comments - SF and London are a world apart, and in almost every way I prefer SF; the only things I miss from London are cheap flights to Europe and curry from Brick Lane. And truly, the weather is pretty good - never too hot, never too cold, sunny more often than not. Other things that make SF amazing: Dolores Park (featured in Alex's post), food trucks, the hills and the easy access to wilderness, the number and variety of restaurants and bars, and so much more.
- xiaoma 14y agoI made the move from Beijing 6 weeks ago and I absolutely love it here, except for the rents! I just biked the Golden Gate Bridge and I can barely put into words how exhilarating it was to be out in nature breathing clean air and bumping into random facebook and linkedin employees offering water and directions. People here are just so nice!
