I used to spend a lot of time out there between 2000 and 2008 and I loved it. The bay area had a charm to it and I loved just exploring the whole area.
But now... I haven't been there in over 10 years but from what I'm hearing it sounds like a terrible place to visit, much less live. I really hope I'm wrong about that, or, at least they can turn things around. I'd like someday to take my kids there and show them the places I loved to visit.
- tathougies 7y agoThe geography and history of the bay area make it quite charming. However it would be a lot more charming if people could live there peacefully and without threat of violence. SF is living on charm borrowed from accidents of history and benevolence of the creator. At some point it'll have to be paid back
- svachalek 7y agoIt's mostly the same as ever, except (1) even more impossible for newcomers to get housing and (2) car break-ins are really at an insane level now. Everyone I know gets robbed once a year. As a visitor neither one is worth worrying about, just make it obvious there's nothing valuable in your car and don't park it anywhere too isolated.
