Maybe 1 or 2 days out of the year it will get to triple digits, but mostly tops out in the low 90's. Certainly much hotter in the East Bay. And you don't even have to go ten miles. I used to live in the Southwest corner of the city. I'd look out the window and see a bunch of clouds and fog. I'd get on the subway get off downtown and the sun was shining.

If you're a baseball fan, get thee to AT&T Park immediately - it's a great, great place to see a game. A real gem of a ballpark.
Easily accessible via public transit (both BART and bus) as well. Linky
If, however, you like football: I pity you, 'cuz then you'll have to deal with Candlestick Park. Oh well, you take what you can get.
Oh man! Candlestick in the cheap seats in November. The temperature: 52. The wind chill factor: -39
Candlestick is a shithole. And that's being generous.
I've been there many times for football. It's a terrible stadium in a terrible location.
The baseball stadium, on the other hand, is one of the best ballparks in the majors. Easy to get to, great atmosphere (except for that garish Coke bottle).
It's really worth a trip, even to see the Giants.

Could be worse. You could be in LA with me and have to hear non-stop Laker/Dodger love 24 hours a day.

Well, I'm an Angels fan.
I LOVE the Giants!
Speaking of ugly shitholes: Angel Stadium really sucked when the Rams were playing there, didn't it? And now it's a gloriously baseball-only park once again. Hell of a thing, innit?

Yes, The Big A was terrible for football (as most baseball stadiums are, IMHO).
We went to a game there in 1994 against the Broncos. There was about 38,000 people there. It was a dismal scene.
Still, overall, I'd rank Candlestick as the worst. I've been to many Rams/49ers games there over the years. It's really awful. They need to do something about that place. The 49ers are improving, and once the economy rebounds, I'll bet SF will take another look at new plans.

Agreed about AT&T. Before the recession hit hard, one of the things I did was to go to many of the ballparks across the country and after going to more than half, AT&T is still my favorite. On a gorgeous sunday afternoon with Tim Lincecum pitching, the experience is absolutely fantastic. Plus, more times than not, it's just beautiful weather.
As for the city, I live 20 miles south of SF, and I wish I spent more time there then I do. I love the seafood, the other great restaurants, and the scenery, but I really haven't dealt with the nightlife as much as I really should. Still, it's my favorite city in the US, and I'm glad I live here.

Well it took quite a bit longer than I expected to finalize... but I'm moving to San Francisco next month!!!!!
So excited!
This thread will prove to be a good starting point. I'm considering 'SoMA' and 'Nob Hill' (if I can find something that doesn't kill my wallet) to start with as places to live but that's just from starting research. I want the 'san francisco experience' but also want a relatively easy commute into Union Square Market St.

Agreed. One other thing to consider is that housing isn't cheap. I have a gay Asian co-worker who lives in the City (he can well afford it with his salary as a senior accountant). He loves it out there. It's fun to take BART from the East Bay to SF, especially during the summer, to gallivant around.
