Not to say that SF doesn't have it's share of problems but your post makes me think you may have not gotten a full picture of the city on your visits. Maybe it's the parts of the city you spent time in (I try to avoid Fisherman's Wharf for pretty much any reason aside from taking a ferry to Angel Island) but I feel like some of your criticisms are a bit off base. It would be like going to New York, spending most of your time walking around Times Square, and saying that the city has nothing to offer. For example, Golden Gate Park, one of many parks in SF, is 20% larger than Central Park. Are there a lot of problems the city faces, yes undoubtedly. But there's also a lot that's compelling out here. It may be worth trying to explore more of the city if you're ever out here again to try and at least understand what people see in it
