So for years I was a big Florida hater, then I moved there...now I absolutely love it! I used to Hate California but then I moved to San Diego...now I absolutely love it! However when it comes to San Francisco I hated it b/c of the pretentious people and how anti military the people are not anti war I have no problem someone being anti war, I served in the military, now one reason I never wanted to move to SF was how far left the city was. I work in the financial industry here in Milwaukee and I travel a lot, I recently had a co worker go to SF and he said it was beautiful, so I spent the last couple weeks looking at pictures and doing research on the Bay Area. I'm looking to move to warmer climate but never wanted to consider SF....

I Have now changed my mind, my favorite Cities to move to are:

1. Miami
2. San Diego
3. San Fran
4. Chicago
5. Heck I live in Wisconsin I'll take anywhere in California!!!!!

If you can deal with stereotypes in Miami, San Diego, or other parts of the country then SF probably won't be that different. The Anti-military crowd tends to be a very small minority in my experiance, they are just loud and want attention. Plenty of normal, politically moderate people going about their day amongst a few weirdos and loonies here and there. It's really not as bad as some people make it out to be imo. You take the good with the bad and their is a interesting mix of people.

Also realize that CITY of SF isn't exactly warm, but cool to mild. Don't expect temps above 75 but also won't dip below 40 either. Inland can be MUCH warmer though.

You have to pay to ride the Muni or BART, MUNI has a lot of fare evaders though it seems.

I would visit to make sure you'd like the atmosphere first b/c its pretty different from San Diego on the surface.
