Bay Area moms

Hey ladies, my husband has a potentially great job opportunity in the San Francisco Bay area, so we're considering moving our family out that way (originally from the east coast). I'd like to know your opinions/advice on the surrounding San Francisco areas! How's the community and climate, etc. (We realize it'll be expensive, but have been assured by this company that his pay will make for comfortable living, despite living costs out there).

Thanks in advance!
