I’ve said it before, shame so many of you don’t appreciate SF. It’s not perfect but it’s so much better than where I grew up. To be able to go to Marin, Yosemite, Tahoe, Big Sur, etc. for a weekend is truly amazing. Granted I’m privileged I can go there and I’m not a night life person, it’s truly a dream for me. The city also has many pockets of nature that are huge (presidio, gg Park). I hope you find a place that makes you happy though.
- mtalantikite 6y agoYeah, this article reminds me of the very worn out “is New York worth it anymore?” trope the New York Times publishes yearly. Or the ones they run profiling a young professional couple that has lived in the city for 5 years and is moving somewhere cheaper. Of course the pandemic is changing things considerably everywhere and it’s definitely different this time, but the cities are still the cities. SF has access to amazing nature and is a beautiful city. New York is going to be New York. They’ll come back. I’m not mad at having a cheaper, weirder, grittier city though. It’s the reason I fell in love with the city as a kid in the first place.
- mav3rick 6y agoBeen biking every day with mostly empty roads. Loving it. Especially GG park and Crissy Field.
- yesimahuman 6y agoPlenty of people that absolutely love SF and also have zero interest in living there. The nature and beauty isn’t worth the other downsides to many (and some of us already get there regularly for work, at least pre-covid)
- Zanneth 6y agoThank you for saying this. I grew up in a rundown suburb in the middle of the desert, so I feel very lucky to be able to live in SF now. It’s not perfect of course, but I’m proud to be able to call this place home.
