I actually lived just south of SF, in Daly City. 'Course, you can't tell where 1 city ends and the other begins in the bay area.

It has a lot of good food and some interesting sights and atmosphere, and lots of places nearby to get away, such as along the coast. But the city itself is crowded, waaaay too expensive, and full of people mostly looking out for themselves, in my experience. I was happy to move away, despite have to take a pay cut. When you figure that cost of living up here in Chico is about half that of the bay area, you may actually end up ahead, financially! And the people are so much friendlier here too.

Have you ever been to Chico? It's about a 4 hour drive north of SF.
