Mission is where all the cool night life is. Big companies right on Market and in financial district like Microsoft's Yammer office. SOMA is where the startups are.
There are some startups in the Dogpatch further that direction towards Bayview, but already the commute time for most employees is double if you do that due to having to switch from BART train to MUNI train which is much slower and less frequent, and god knows what serves most of Bayview.
Buses where you would get mugged and stuck in traffic maybe? I'd be happier in the East Bay at that point as long as BART was near. The few times I've tried the bus system, half the time the bus is full or late. I own a car, but traffic is ridiculous, so I don't consider it usable for commuting.
- mdeeks 11y agoWe (MSFT/Yammer office) are most definitely NOT in the financial district (god I wish). We're in the tenderloin/civic area where you regularly see addicts shooting up on the stairs as you walk down to bart. It is one of the worst areas of the city. Though it is getting nicer now that many companies are moving in.

- fennecfoxen 11y ago> god knows what serves most of Bayview. Well, the T train runs down the edge of Bayview as far as the Bayshore Caltrain station. But it's reasonably slow and kind of awkwardly routed for the time being (it goes past the ballpark and along the Embarcadero before reversing down Market). Maybe that will change when they open the central subway in the future.
