[quote=Anonymous]NP here. OP, have you ever lived outside California?  On the East Coast?  There are cultural differences that I don't think you appreciate yet. When you get here try and appreciate it for what it is and not look for the LA analouges.

Bike activist hipsters here live anywhere they can in their 20s.  Once they are too old for group houses, the current housing market is driving them out of the city and even the area (in the last year three friends who fit this description moved to Chicago and Minneapolis).  You'll find people who look like bike activist hipsters, but will discover that they are living in the hot neighborhoods because they are really K Street consultants and/or have help from their parents.

If you are a young family, plan ahead. Expect that rent/housing prices and CoL will rise steadily for a while, and think about schools and neighborhoods where your kids have room to grow. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2012-05-25/opinions/35456628_1_playground-urban-areas-newcomers
