I’m about to move there. Got a job at a startup that seems fun. Just graduated, so I’m a bit unwise. But, my first job was boring and I couldn’t deal with that.
Access to nature, some of the best food in the country, access to the freshest produce, scuba diving, surfing, redwoods, walkable city, educated population, interesting people, consistent non-intrusive weather, wine country, etc.
I frequently visit NYC and the homeless population there is more threatening, and the shit in the street is roughly on par, so I’m not really sure where else people would recommend without extreme lifestyle shift.
question was about the Bay area, and you are talking about SF, so obviously this doesn't include east Bay? even parts of SF itself seems pretty threatening these days and crime is pretty extreme in SF. south bay/SJ doesn't seem as bad (except for East PA and parts of SJ)
> not really sure where else people would recommend without extreme lifestyle shift.
Are these the only two places in the United States worth living in?
1. Access to tech campus and seeing people in person.
2. Access to plenty of tech jobs (if layed off) and in person vs remote isn’t of much consequence.
If remote work is here to stay 2023 and onward I likely won’t be here in 2024.
