I've lived in San Fransisco/Bay Area my entire life. 1. Agree with most of what you have to say about San Franciso. Personally, even though I don't smoke, it doesn't bother me. 2. The real cheerleaders of San Fransisco are usually people who just moved here. Maybe their city was worse? 3. The weather is just grey. My dad had to move from the Richmond District because he was literally considering suidide. He said, he would get up, and just grey. He finally moved to Petaluma, and was happy, but all his buddies were still in the city. 4. Socially--it's great for single men, or gay man. It might be the worst place a single lady could ever end up in, on a social level. My last two girlfriends live in SF. I have seen them walk up to men they want, and get rebuffed. Now--the men were gay, but it's not easy ladies. (No one ever talks about this aspect of San Francisco.). 5. On the positives, if you do end up here, you just might be suprised just how strong unions are here. Whether a cop, a electrician, or garbage man; you will be taken care of--if you get into the union. 6. I do like most of the diversity. I don't like the income inequality though, but that's taking over every city. 7. Theft! Just remember to lock that bike, or put a kill switch in any vehicle. There's a good chance it will be taken. Actualy, the bike will be stolen, and you will eventually have a window broken out of your vechicle. Don't leave anything of value in the vechicle--ever. 8. My last thought is this, I always thought of SF as half a city. It's not like New York, and thank god. It's just a weird small city. It's nothing like the media portrays it. Just remember that song, 'I've never been as cold as the summer I spent in San Francisco". I forget the lyrics, but you get my drift?
