The takeaway from the survey: “Beautiful weather, picturesque landscapes and a lively atmosphere make the metro by the Bay a desirable place to live. Top-notch health care, an innovative business atmosphere, public transit, and active lifestyles only add to its appeal. But the metro area has its flaws: It’s extremely pricy to live in paradise.”
