How's life in Palo Alto and Los Altos; compared to San Francisco?


Travel Info
I mean is it better or worse? If worse, which suburbs of San Francisco are better than the city itself? Would it be Marin County and Napa Valley? Please explain your reasons.

Thanks a lot in advance...

Travel Tips
Palo Alto is 20 degrees warmer in the summer and colder in the winter. It has the advantage of a University ( Stanford) with all the youthful restaurants and bookstores as well as the silicon valley types. SF is a big city and, as such, has more resources. There is a train between the two places. Marin is another world. Los Altos is more of a suburban bedroom community. Every place you mentioned is very expensive.
Others
That depends on how much you want to spend on housing. I personally would prefer Palo Alto or Los Altos. Actually Palo Alto more. Both are just more laid back, easier to get around (according to me - maybe not everyone)

On the other side of the bridge - just remember you would have to cross that bridge everyday to get into the city if you plan on working there. The toll now is I think $5. You can look up FastTrack - it's a prepay bridge toll tat goes on the inside of your window. Napa and Marin are really expensive, and to me the people there are - well - once you get out there spend some time up there.
