New Yorker here too. Finally got to see the fabled valley last year and spent 2 days walking SF. Parts of it are just like NYC before the cleanup to turn it in

New Yorker here too. Finally got to see the fabled valley last year and spent 2 days walking SF.
Parts of it are just like NYC before the cleanup to turn it into a tourist destination. Chinatown and area around it absolutely reminded of late 80s/early 90s in NY. Has that vibe.
Parts of it -- here is looking at you Pacific Heights -- are just completely off the scale amazing. I would move in a heartbeat to PH if I could afford it, crime be damned. (Looked pretty damn safe too, btw.)
tldr; it ain't a "shithole" if you are rich (like everywhere else). far from it.
