I LOVE San Francisco Bay Area. Not as hot or smoggy as Southern CA, and not as soggy as Oregon or Washington State. Some of the best restaurants in the country are in this area. Mostly sunny and mild climate coupled with veriety of job markets attract many people. The only problem here is that things are kinda expensive - esp. housing price. I heard that it is going to go down at least 20% at the end of this year. And in summer it doesn't get as hot or humid as TX but gets dry. So ladies, if you come to San Francisco, be sure to bring good moisturizers.
Oh, one more thing, did I mention great views? Ahhhhhhhhh, nice refreshing sea breeze and view of the bay! You can tour Alcatraz, too.
