Years ago, I LOVED visiting San Francisco in August!  No humidity, 
the temperature hovered between 70-75 F day and night and we had a 
great time walking up and down all those hills sightseeing!  One 
downside: there were almost constant tremors because the San Andreas 
fault was getting uppity again, and a few days after we left there 
was an earthquake that registered 6 point something on the Richter 
scale.  I have bunches of friends who live there and in Berkeley and 
Oakland now, but THEY complain about the high real estate costs and 
long work commutes (plus the brush fires that destroyed homes 
belonging to a couple of them a few years back--they rebuilt with the 
insurance money).  Oh well.  The grass is always greener...
