3.0 out of 5 stars Great...if you're heading to San Francisco, December 24, 1999

This review is from: Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley: Everything You Need to Know Before You Move - and Once You Get There (Paperback)
I was looking for more information about Silicon Valley towns -- San Francisco was treated with so much detail (in terms of breaking down the neighborhoods and really detailing things to do in the city) it wasn't funny. Silicon Valley towns seemed to have just basic demographic information (and I only wish the rent prices quoted were that low today!)

2.0 out of 5 stars A Great Incomplete Reference, November 23, 1999

This review is from: Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley: Everything You Need to Know Before You Move - and Once You Get There (Paperback)
If you are single and you are looking for a job and an apartment in San Fran. or San Jose area this book is great for you. If you are married and own a home and you are thinking about moving to the area, this book is a little value. Spend 5 minutes reviewing it in the store and don't buy it.

Did not cover the east bay at all. Did not give any helpful information about the real estate market. Did not list churches in the area.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you move in between the two areas, forget it, December 10, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley: Everything You Need to Know Before You Move - and Once You Get There (Paperback)
Nothing about the San Mateo area, which is dead center of the SF bay/peninsula area. The title should be "Relocating to the city of San Francisco and/or Palo Alto". The yellow pages were more helpful.
