As far as your question, I agree with other posters who implied you shouldn't be trying to find Chicago in SF. Totally different beast.

If you get a job with Google, you might consider just living in Mountain View anyway. Why deal with the commute? Wait until after commute hours, then go visit SF. Commuting here is hell.

Then, get to know the city after rush hour and on weekends, and you can decide where you might want to live so badly that you're willing to do the commute from there to MV.

I'm with this person. marina to mountain view commute? no thank you!

Ordinarily, I'd agree. But the Google bus makes life much easier.

Not the same thing.

No, but a yuppie is basically just a frat douche fresh out of college.

The Gold Coast and Old Town are two of the frattiest parts of Chicago, yet you say you want the same type of neighborhood in SF, but at the same time you don't want a fratty neighborhood. I don't get it.

The closest equivalents to Gold Coast and Old Town would probably be Marina area and environs. Pacific Heights, Nob Hill and Russian Hill would also be options.
