[quote=Anonymous]Lived in SF for 4 years, then lived in Redwood City for another four years with DH since we were both working in Palo Alto.

LOVED SF, HATED the Peninsula.  We did have fun in Menlo Park, Los Gatos, Half Moon Bay, etc, but found it very suburban.  Could live in SF forever, but hard to do with a family unless you have buckets of money.  You can have a wonderful lifestyle if you can afford it.

Pros - NoCal is gorgeous.  Great food, great places for day trips, cool vibe.  We found the people to be incredibly friendly and relaxed.  People enjoy their lives.  (broad generalization, I know)

Cons - Expensive.  I mean insanely expensive.  Since it was just the two of us at the time, it didn't matter so much.  Now we are a family of five and live back on the East Coast, where we are very happy.  More options here for families in terms of living arrangements, schools, etc.  But every time I go to SF I wonder why we don't live there anymore...

Have friends and family in Chico and Davis and SACTO and they love it, but I don't think I could live up there.  [/quote]
