Stone,
I spent nearly 6 months in the Bay Area during my early flight training and my brother works in IT in Silicon Valley as we speak. So, I do know a lot about SFO. The cost of living in that area is outrageous.
Regardless of this chap's decision, I was merely offering friendly advice and he can either take it or leave it. I wish him luck!
