Mohamed,

I don’t know what part of town you may have been looking in, so that’s tough to answer. All I can tell you is that I used the sites I listed in my post and I focused on places in the northern half of the city, which are the most expensive but also the most urban environments: http://jasonevanish.com/2012/05/20/sf-startup-survival-guide-how-to-find-an-apartment-in-san-francisco/

Good luck on the move!

Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,

I’ve been reading your article about living in San Francisco, and I noticed the part about the rental prices.

I’m moving in to San Francisco with my wife next September, and I’ve checking the rental prices on some websites (Ex. zillow.com) and I found some good looking apartments for as much as 1,000$ per month, which is very different from the numbers you mentioned.

It would be very helpful if you tell me if there’s some sort of trick or some hidden costs that makes prices this low on the mentioned sites?

[...] 在大卫的这篇博客中，他说员工在下班后做业余项目对老板不利，对公司有害。这种思想太落后了。首先，一个人在业余时间应该做什么、不应该做什么，别人不该说三道四，这是一种极大的侮辱，这是对他人无礼的个人评判。这是一种极其短视的行为。 [...]

Great list. I would recommend Peopleware by DeMarco and Lister. It’s a must read when it comes to company culture and managing development teams. It might be a bit dated but the ideas in it are definitely not so!

Comment on 25 Things I wish I knew before moving to San Francisco by harriedcostumer

I moved from SF to LA for a while (then moved back), and I agree with some of what you said, but…
re: “Glam is bad!”
You need to hang out with more drag queens, and/or go to Union Square and SFMOMA. My feeling about LA fashion is that it has its own look, which is louder than SF’s, but there is more fashion in SF than you realize.

re: Attitude less welcoming than in LA.
I eventually found some nice artistic circles in LA, but at first it seemed like if you weren’t into plastic surgery, there wasn’t anybody to talk to. And since everything is so spread out, it can be harder to find your place. I’m not saying you’re wrong about having to “earn your way” in SF–since I grew up in the area, I haven’t had to deal with that here–but I think LA can also be like that, to a newcomer.
