Jason Evanish on San Francisco:
It gets cold at 4pm. Neighborhoods define you. Rent is insane. Cost of living overall is sky high. There are crazy and cool things always going on. Costumes are a way of life. Lots of homeless, beggars and crackheads. PBR is the official beverage of San Francisco. An extremely pro-dog city. The Divisadero is the fog line. Palo Alto and Mountain View are farther away than you think. The 3 things you need to know about MUNI. There are tons of amazing views. Startup Central is in SoMa. SF is a super fit city. If you’re a foodie, welcome to heaven. The 3 hour time zone difference is a big deal. Watching sports matters a lot less. Everything is taken to the extreme. You’ll turn into an early adopter even if you weren’t one before. All the best tech startups are at their best here. Working in tech is the norm, not the exception. People love novelty and new experiences. Tons of awesome lies just beyond SF’s borders. Come with an explorer’s attitude.source: "25 Things I wish I knew before moving to San Francisco"
