As a tourist or a person new to the city, you can have a good time in San Francisco. There are a lot of things to do. Living in SF is a different thing. The traffic really sucks and the public transportation is inadequate. During major conferences the city gets completely saturated with people and transportation sucks even more. Commuting from outside the city is a via crucis that will destroy your spirit. Public works take fucking forever to complete, blocking streets for years. Air quality is nice, except during wildfire season. You will need to seal your windows, doors, AC, buy air filters and masks. It sucks. The cost of living is fucking absurd. The will keep raising your rent every goddamn year. The homelessness situation is pretty bad, and since the city has not installed public bathrooms, they have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars removing poop from the streets. And needles. Fucking used needles everywhere.
