I am thinking about moving to the Bay Area, probably Berkeley. I want to do a reconaissance mission first. My plan would be:
I assume some other LWers not currently in the Bay Area are also thinking about moving there - would any of you be interested in joining me on this mission? Renting a larger space would be cheaper on a per person basis, and it seems like it would be good to have other people to help weigh the pros and cons of different areas and lifestyles (e.g. commuting by car vs using the subway; sharing a house near the city center vs. living by oneself in the suburbs).
I'm thinking of applying to Berkley next year for grad school, and I'd be up for that!
