SF is the closest thing to a dystopia for me. Unabashed wealth juxtaposed with poverty, insane cost of living, shit and used needles everywhere, the nation's mental health failure on full display, etc. Nothing has made me as depressed as living in SF.
- gsibble 4y agoLeave. It's so much better elsewhere. I'm so happy in Boston.
- lovehashbrowns 4y agoOh leave I did! I left after 11 months or so. Went out to Portland but it's not much better there nowadays. Still a fun city, at least. Might try Chicago now. I hadn't realized how relatively cheap some of the areas are. Boston might be fun, too!
- ghaff 4y agoBoston/Cambridge proper is pretty pricey. Although if you don't need/want to live in the city, you can get to pretty reasonable housing fairly quickly. I live a bit further out still.
- gsibble 4y agoBe careful. I have a lot of friends leaving Chicago due to outrageous crime rates.
- seanmcdirmid 4y agoSeattle has much of the same, don't come here! We lost 2%, we could stand to use a few more percents and I would be pretty happy with the traffic reduction. I'm staying put for sure, but I can see why this place isn't for everyone. You might want to try Salt Lake City: has a nice vibe, the Mormon influence myth is overblown, and you have mountains, forest, and scrub nearby just like in Portland.
