#4Palo Alto and Mountain View are farther away than you think Hm, when I visited it felt like a pretty quick journey - no more than 30 minutes via Caltrain. Perhaps it was just excitement though!
It's around 38minutes if you catch the 'bullet' train. I think the regular train is a little over an hour, although this doesn't include the time to actually get to the train station.

Yeah - it always takes longer to get to and from the station too. Sometimes it's hard to justify whether it is worth it! Personally I use ZipCar when I need to head down there now (which to be honest is rarely).

#6 Watching sports matters a lot less.
Regarding the weather, most people don't realise that SF is cold. Sunny, but cold. It's not LA. Bring a sweater.

#7You nailed pretty much everything, but shouldn't the Castro bike be missing a saddle?
I quite enjoy visiting SF, I actually love the place & diversity. Favourite season has got to be the Indian Summers :).

#8OP, did you honestly not know how expensive it was, as well as a few of these other points in the article? I would be shocked if that's the case. Most of the items in the post are pretty well-known things about the San Fran area. More or less, the title is a bit of link bait, and I doubt most of you don't already know these things about San Fran (or the bay area, for that matter).

#9I visited once in August and my mind was blown at how cold it got in the evening. In the east, August is very hot and humid, gross really. I was told that the SF summer starts in October. I think that was almost a joke, I think it's more like there isn't really a summer in SF, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Well, for one, if you knew as much as you say you do about SF you would know nobody calls it "San Fran".
