I'm sure most start ups in Miami have A/C, so I'm not sure what your concern is. Most apartments too.

Anyway, I live in an area that reaches 43c in the summer and -6c in the winter. When I first moved here it definitely threw me off, but I got acclimated to it quickly.

As someone who grew up in Milwaukee and moved to Charleston, I agree 100%. One of my largest clients is in Milwaukee now and I can say definitively that I have lost all tolerance for that bitter cold. And to all you Canadians living north of the wall... I don't know how you do it.

I actually really prefer the Winter. I personally think when you start feeling like a Canadian is when you enjoy the winter weather.

For whatever reason the sun in Canada really seems to burn(at least in Toronto area) and it can get really humid in the summers. But in the winter you can always just bundle up and feel comfortable.

I'm a canadian, I really appreciate the weather down in the bay area after growing up in seattle weather for my childhood and college years. Don't miss the rain and the cold, or the 'lack of seasons' some friends seem to complain about.

Mother nature is apparently great at causing Stockholm syndrome. You're lucky to have gotten out unscathed. :)

Being in Vancouver/Victoria helps. It's basically Bay Area climate.

[Patrick_Devine]

Well, not quite. In the summer Vancouver/Victoria are both way nicer than SF. I personally don't think there is a nicer place to be in August. In the winter, they're both colder.

Neither compare to the peninsula though. It's still mid-20s in Palo Alto during the day right now whereas its mid-teens in Vancouver.

[mahyarm]

Pst, Seattle has nearly identical weather too. And it's half price! (ish)

[erohead]

Haha. Don't think so... Palo Alto = it rained once since May so far. Not exactly Vancouver weather.

American northern midwest is colder than what most of Canada's population experiences.

[seanmcdirmid]

Except for the Canadian southern Midwest....

... which is why I said "most".
