I'm not sure OP meant high rent as a negative. While "high rent" would seem to mean "ugh I have to pay more for rent" it has other implications regarding the type of people you will be surrounded by.
I won't include commentary on how I feel about that or say for sure that is what OP meant, but I wouldn't assume they meant it as a negative considering they included it in the positive attributes.
Actually, I did intend it as a negative. I wanted to contrast the great weather with it. I just couldn't think of any negatives at the time, but some more include the aforementioned "SV bubble" and the relatively lamer social opportunities compared to other metropolitan areas.
