My wife and I are thinking about moving north towards San Jose/San Francisco, we've had enough of Southern California. The people here have become just too un-neighborly and we'd like to raise our newborn daughter in a more friendly, smaller-town atmosphere and do it now while she's still young. We meet a lot of nice NorCal people at Tiki Oasis every year, so I thought I'd ask this forum for help. What area should we look that is 1. affordable, 2. cool place to live, 3. outside of the major metropolitan areas?

Thank you!
