I agree with raptorduck, I used to lived in Bay Area (SF, Fremont, Santa Clara) for over 25 years and people up there are more arrogant and less friendly. I moved to Poway 6 months ago and find SD areas are more suitable to raise a family. The weather in SD is much nicer and the housing is much cheaper comparing to Bay Area. I like CV and 4S but the new homes have not character and the big hit on your wallet for the mello roos. I am lurking in both areas and will make a purchase soon if the price is right. Comes to thing of it, price needs to drop another 10-20% before I consider.
