Yeah... my kinda thread.
Although I will agree with the insane rent prices, you probably get paid higher in certain jobs in the bay. My favs:
Gap Headquarters (my dream job)
Pier 39
Concerts in the Park
Union Square
Cheesecake Factory (yeah I know there is one in Sacto but gotta go with the SF one.)
Saucilito
The Discovery Museum
The Weather... I escape Sacto on hot weekends and stay at my parents on occasion
The club scene
And when it existed: FAO Swartz. That was the coolest Toy Store EVAH!
