Title: Hi!<p>I'm a young wannabe-hacker looking to move for a summer to SF area. I'm working on a web project (Rails) and will try to reach ramen profitability over summer. If I fail I'll go back to living with my parents/continue college in the fall.<p>I can't move until June 13 since I'll only be 18 then (and be able to rent). So 2.5 months of living.<p>I already have around $3000 (paid taxes recently) and mainly telecommute part-time on C++/COM gigs. I might continue working with my current employer down there but I don't think I should rely on that. I'd rather rely on what I already have rather than hope I don't get cut off :)<p>Can somewhere answer these questions:<p>a) Will it be easier to pick up some part-time C++/Rails gigs in SF bay than Seattle? I'd really like to have some continuous source of income so I'd have money to come back/extend my runway.<p>b) Is it possible to live on $1000/month in SF? I subtract $600 for transit gas, emergency, etc.<p>For the rest, I summed up rent+utilities to be around $700, $100 for food, and $200 for everything else.<p>Am I correct in my calculations? Is there anything I'm missing?<p>c) How is the weather down there? Is it much hotter than Seattle?<p>e) Am I fucking crazy?<p>Thank you much.
