It's full of Californians, increasingly expensive, and, thanks to heavy subsidies from state and parent-based funding, kind of filled with kind of useless people.

Otherwise, it's great. The climate's a bit warm but not too humid, there's lots of hippie stuff to do and you can run away to the suburbs which are more like Houston, and if you like live music -- even though most of it is boring -- you'll love swiping that card all over sixth street.

As far as tech opportunities? * cough * I'd look to Houston or DFW.
