It's funny that nobody mentioned pac hts. If you're looking for a multi-room place, it's REALLY expensive. But for some reason there are plenty of cheap studios. I know lots of young people here who don't pay more than folks in the mission / hayes valley and have much nicer places. I live here b/c I need to run on trails every day and the presidio is close by. Parking is mellow enough. I'm never more than 5 blocks from my house and seldom closer than 2. There is just enough of a social life to keep you going and you're not far from anywhere. I also surf when the waves are good and it's near OB (waves were rocking today.) My car has never been robbed and I hardly ever see crazies. I grew up in DC and NYC and I thought we were the market leaders for crack heads! Man, they are a different breed out here. I can't imagine being w/o a car. Once every two weeks we have a 7:30am meeting in SV (angels, VC's, lawyers) which means a 6:15 wake up. Usually we don't finish coding until 4am. I could not deal with that on public transpo. Also my co-founder lives in the Presidio in an ex-military barack. His rent is as cheap as it gets but he is a bit removed from the city. Hope this helps, good luck!
