Having lived in the Bay Area for a while in the past I can assure you that moving there will probably make your anxiety much worse.
Being on the edge of a big shaky bathtub surrounded by clueless narcissists made me very uncomfortable. And I am not prone to anxiety.
The cost of living makes being there pretty pointless unless you have an executive level job.
- sbank 13y agoAs someone who might move there, I would appreciate to hear about your experiences. The cost of living in SF already worries me.
- mjn 13y agoAre you looking to live in SF proper, or more generally the Bay Area? Living in SF proper is a bit complex, not only in terms of cost, but in terms of how to find a place at all. But living in the Valley is not all that complex. It's a bit pricey, but not absurdly so if you have a salaried job and are looking to rent an apartment rather than buy a house. You can even find a place remotely in a number of cases, if you rent from a big corporate-owned apartment unit in places like San Jose or Santa Clara. Downside is that it's a vast expanse of suburbia, and a car is nearly mandatory.
