im just scared of dogs ok

:plzstop: No I get it. When I was young a doberman chased me to this playground and I had to climb the swings to get away. Took me YEARS not to jump in the back of a truck when I saw a dog on the street.

Ok So I live in Oakland and have lived in the bay area for most of my life except when I lived in LA for 3 years after undergrad. Since your BF job is going to be in Redwood City and you are looking for a job in San Jose then you might as well live on the peninsula. It wouldn't make sense to live in the east bay, because you would want to shoot yourself everyday if you had to commute. Your best bet is San Jose, Foster City, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Moutain View, San Mateo or even Santa Clara. I have 2 dogs too, so it's going to take some work to find a place and you might have to pay a higher deposit. $4500 sounds really high unless you are looking in San Francisco proper. Otherwise if you guys are looking at a 1 bed room then you should be able to find a place for under 3K. San Jose is BIG and that's probably your best bet. Just stay out the east side there are a shit load of gangs over there and it's kind of grimy. These fucking hipsters and gentrification are pushing up the prices all over the bay area. But one word of advice is when you find a place jump on it as fast as you can. Set some google alerts for new apartment listings in the city you think you want to live in that way you can have as much of a head start as possible.

OMG thank you so much!!!! I had heard some sketchy things about San Jose, so it's good to know which parts to stay away from. I'll start looking in those outside areas. Thanks luv!!

If you don't have a car then you'll need to get one or find a place close to Caltrain. Bart only runs to Millbrae so Caltrain and bus are the only public transportation options.
Here's the caltrain map http://www.caltrain.com/stations/systemmap.html

What I find Hilarious is that all these kids straight from college want to move to SF then when they get here realize that even if you're making 115k that living in the city will have your ass broke as fuck.

Good Luck and if you have any other questions about living here or options just PM me. My boyfriend is originally from San Jose, so he knows all about the South Bay.

Fffff thanks gorls.

Rig, I actually really enjoyed the city. When I go to gay bars I usually get shaded by one fag or another. I'm not sure what the deal is but it happens here too. Ended up talking to some bitches and got stuck hanging out with them. It was my bday when I went and I turned 29 and they were tryin me for my age n mess.

Anywho, the people in the city were actually really nice. Caught me off guard, I was expecting a New York mess.

I forgot they could smoke there and it caught me off guard when I was waiting in line at a bar and this guy just lit up a joint  :plzstop:

It's also legal to walk around naked. The shit I've seen in the damn Castro... :plzstop: :plzstop: :plzstop:
i seen that too!! if only they had cute guys in SF .. cause there were ZERO . i was there for 5 days and not a damn twink in site FUCK

FINE.

I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life, happy to answer any questions you have.

I actually work in Redwood City too. Maybe your boif and I will be coworkers! If you can, try to find a place in San Jose. The rent there is much cheaper than anything in SF and most of the Peninsula. Plus, why suffer through a long commute when you can make your boyfriend do it instead? Lmao!

You better invite me to the housewarming mess!
