A couple of things I like about the Bay Area:

It's gorgeous; We get cold winters and hot summers with a nice inbetween for spring/fall.

I enjoy the drives (out of rush hour) and the many, many things you can get to easily outside of the city.

Well paid and pay about $1200 for a 3 bedroom with one room mate (Outlier I know) right across the GGB.

Things I dislike:

The traffic into the city is disgustingly bad.

A lot of elitism going around based on worth/employer/general status.

Too many got-damn people have moved here in the last 10 years.

advice: If you have a really well-paying offer, then jump on it, get an electric bike for the steep hills, and enjoy your time here.
