I was wondering what these "gleaming white, with dark-tinted windows, like limousines, and some days I think of them as the spaceships on which our alien overlords have landed to rule over us." actually looked like: [0] http://sfcitizen.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ip2ku-copy.jpg http://sfcitizen.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ip2ku-c...

The bus in the first one almost looks stuck by how sharp the grade change is. Is this common in SF?

  Yes.

  Look at the front of the bus; you can see some towing cables attached to it.

    That's just the MUNI track.

      Look again (the GP is correct).

      No, it's actually stuck. http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2012/06/10/noe-valleys-23rd-street-proves-too-much-for-this-google-bus-its-rear-end-gets-stuck-at-the-chattanooga-intersection/ http://sfcitizen.com/blog/2012/06/10/noe-valleys-23rd-street...

  In some areas, yes. SF's Filbert and 22nd St make the top 10 steepest streets in the states: http://www.fixr.com/infographics/top-10-US-steepest-streets.html http://www.fixr.com/infographics/top-10-US-steepest-streets.... If you get the opportunity... No, scratch that... Make the opportunity to visit San Francisco some time. It's a beautiful city within a short drive of some incredible parts of the West Coast of the US.
