SV has a lot going for it, and isn't a bad place to go at all. Go for it!
My main objection is that it's a place for people like you to go, try, see how they do, and then most likely move on. Most people move on because if you're not rich, it's a bad place to try and raise a family and be part of a community with some permanence to it. And even if you're rich, stuck in traffic on 101 is stuck on traffic on 101, no matter how many millions you have in the bank.
If settling down and raising a family isn't in your immediate future, then, absolutely, go there and have a great time! You'll learn a lot and probably have a great time.
More realistically, you could have a helipad. Still though, my idea of perfection would be someplace where I can live most of my life on foot. I think that that's something a lot of US towns get wrong, especially on the west coast.
