I would not want to start over trying to meet people again but if you are in the car scene you make tons of contacts fast. Los Angeles is definately the hot spot for fast cars, non stop activities, and nice weather.
i too just moved here from monterey, ca... its ab out 1.5 hours south of the big city SF... the cost of living was way higher and it was very difficult to purchase a home thats why im here. i felt as if i was in a hole and couldnt get myself out of it there running the rat race for 2 years before coming here buying a home and moving on to the next step of my life. Sf has alot to offer it has a great import scene and alot of life to the city and the people...(even the fags)... people are people anyway you look at them you shouldnt hold it against people that they shoose a certain path for their lives.... you will need to take that into consideration when moving... is SF a place you see yourself in the future... with kids? wife? and a family.. or do you prefer the living of a nice suburb home in a quiet naighborhood... ? you will not get that in SF...
you say you have nothing really?... except a nice place to live and a good job... it sounds to me like you have a good foundation! and you need to look around harder to add to your lifestyle... more than look for a new one. because a nice place to live (reasonable) and a good job are whats gonna be the hardest thing for you to find any place you go.
good luck.. i wish you well in your decision... if you do go to SF... do not be just another fag hater. Be proud to live in a city with so much diversity... Sf is like no other when it comes to its people... well maybe NY... !
