Your only negative on the bay area seems to be high rent.
I'd suggest you turn that around. High rents are an excellent indicator of opportunity and quality of life. Location is a market and the good things cost more.
For someone just starting out, there's nothing like the bay area. Of course, I've been around the block a few times and I've moved to Seattle to get away from valley groupthink.
Nothing beats visiting in person. Spend time in each place you'd consider and you'll just know what feels right.
- tomasien 14y agoI'm not sure OP meant high rent as a negative. While "high rent" would seem to mean "ugh I have to pay more for rent" it has other implications regarding the type of people you will be surrounded by. I won't include commentary on how I feel about that or say for sure that is what OP meant, but I wouldn't assume they meant it as a negative considering they included it in the positive attributes.
- Apocryphon 14y agoActually, I did intend it as a negative. I wanted to contrast the great weather with it. I just couldn't think of any negatives at the time, but some more include the aforementioned "SV bubble" and the relatively lamer social opportunities compared to other metropolitan areas.
