Hi everyone. I'm moving to the Bay Area in May to make my fortune with the rest of you. I don't know much about the region, and I'm hoping some of you can help me familiarize myself with it.

Ideally, I would like to live somewhere that's close to capital, has a vibrant hacker community, access to high quality, organic, local food, seems big on environmental protection, and features transit oriented development. I would like to avoid owning a car if possible, being that, in principle at least, they are waste of money and liability.

Looking at the Wikipedia articles of the primary cities in the region, it doesn't seem likely to find such a place, but I'll ask anyway. I'd also be interested in hearing about the mechanics of finding/contacting/meeting investors in the Bay Area.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
