I've been there three times, agree on the hill situation.

It's also very expensive with lots of expenses, which is why I don't live there...

Yeah looking in detail at the costs almost floored me. I knew it was expensive but even compared to Australian real estate it's insane. Add California state tax...

Thought this post was about the internet issues ref: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2016/10/21/cyber-attack-takes-down-east-coast-netflix-spotify-twitter/92507806/

I was in LA in 2012, with a rented Mustang and the Mrs and I discussed driving up to San Fran but we went to Vegas instead, which was a shame;

This is why I didn't take any job offers in LA/SFO areas. Even with 50% more pay than in DFW, I'd be losing money on the deal after taking expenses into account. I may boil in the summers here, but it's worth it all to have cheap autumns, winters, and springs.

There are a number of people on twitter who have moved from Australia (that is where you are right???) to San Fran over the past few years. Kick a tweet out or PM me and I can point you to them.
