I think I may be offered a job in the bay area (on the peninsula in Mountain View) from Philadelphia.
Of course I have been reading every Cost of Living index that I could find, but I would love to chat with someone who has actually done it or who lives there.
Also, I want to bring my baby with me so any idea how hard it is to pass the smog test? Will I need to add anything to my car? Are repairs more expensive there?

So..please any of you who are willing to give me some advice
