hey guys/gals, I am in the process of packin up my stuff and moving to san francisco from houston. this decision is based on my skill set, mind set, and perception of the area as "the place to be" given my aspirations. the issue is that everything (listed below) about this situation is new to me and, so, am looking for answers.

-i know absolutely nothing about san francisco (where to live? how to find a job? etc.)

-i need a job (ideally as a developer/engineer), my skills would be best utilized in a start-up but will settle for anything just to make this move happen and not have to sleep on the streets for awhile (although, if it is streets or not moving, id take the street)

-what kind of salary range should i aim for that would allow me to live somewhere relatively close (can get there without driving) to the relevant community, high and low estimations would be lovely

-and anything else you guys feel like adding, everything is/will be greatly appreciated

oh and it may be useful for context to mention that i am 28 and do not have a wife/fam/girl friend/whatev

alright guys, thanks for anything and everything and wish me luck, philip rea
