I don’t know how recently you’ve been here, or how closely you’ve looked, but it is very much not a beautiful city. It is literally gag-inducingly disgusting.

- nhf 8y agoI feel like this is a common sentiment: San Francisco is beautiful in the abstract, but disgusting in detail. I feel like this is a pretty common trope for most "grade A" cities—someone will always hate it, people who love it will always explain it away. - NYC is expensive and has failing transportation, but people love the unparalleled cultural diversity and gritty tenacity of the city - Paris is dirty and unfriendly, but the city's romance and character make it a great place to live - London is expensive and out of touch, but its job opportunities and multiculturalism make it a better place to live ...and so on and so forth. Someone's always going to dislike SF for a valid reason and someone's always going to hit you back with a valid reason why it's a good place. They're probably both correct.
- extra88 8y ago> Paris is dirty and unfriendly I didn’t find the tourist-trafficked parts to be dirty. Unfriendliness has is just Parisians being “on-brand.”
- the_clarence 8y agoHaving lived in London, Paris and SF I would disagree. SF is freaking disgusting. Paris is messy and has some crazies. London is a nice city.
