Here's an article written by someone as ridiculous as D1. Keep calling it San Fran, OP, because nobody who matters cares. https://thebolditalic.com/don-t-call-it-frisco-the-history-of-san-francisco-s-nicknames-the-bold-italic-san-francisco-5c14348d49c#.zdkp2c2xn

If you want to live in SF proper, be prepared to pay up. Don't fall for listings that's say "lower nob hill", what they really mean is tenderloin and you do not want to live there. Richmond or sunset district is more reasonable but further from downtown. Oakland is also more reasonable, but if you want to move to the Bay Area, SF is by far the best place to live. Check craigslist and future coworkers for leads. Rental market is not easy here, be prepared to go on interviews for openings

The city is great! But if I had known I would suffer this much for paying rent, I would've never moved.

I live here. I really don't care how you call it. There are important things to care about.

@PwC 3 why do you say that? Is it just old?

Try east bay Fremont -union city if you are OK with commute
