 My son just graduated college, is job searching  and has a possibility
 of renting a room from a friend in the outer sunset at below marke
 rates. I think he's crazy to pass it up, but he's got some hesitancy of
 moving away from the coast.

 Even in his day and age, it would be a wonderful city to be in in your
 20s.
