The Bay Area music scene just blows, and always has. Austin's is far superior in both quality and quantity. I found the food in Austin fine (though not fancy); my big gripes were that it was too car-oriented and that there weren't enough jobs to keep my cool grad student friends from moving away. (I also felt it was too small, but that's a matter of taste, and one I'm sure many disagree with.)
