I currently live 30 miles south of you in Palo Alto. It's even more smug, even more outrageously expensive, and not particularly beautiful or interesting. I will be joining you in San Francisco in a couple of weeks; I look forward to being able to walk or bus most everywhere I need to go, and getting Chinese food for 1/3 the price.

Seems a bit hotter here then it is in Oakland, from the sound of it. It often goes above 80 in the day and some nights it's too hot to sleep.
