I have two requirements:
1. I can walk to everything I need within a half mile radius from home, including most entertainment.
2. I can get married to my (also male) partner.
There are quite a few places in Europe that are open to me, but surprisingly few American cities. And that's why many of us are in SF -- we dislike driving and like liberals. :)
- Guvante 13y agoThere are trade offs to everything. You can't be a half mile from everything when everyone has 1/4 acre lots. No disagreements on the later.
- felipe 13y agoActually #2 is a false assumption: Keep in mind that California approved prop 8 and just recently the courts rejected it after a long and tough fight. In addition, my wife was a teacher and advocate for at-risk minority kids in SF, and I can tell you this whole thing about SF being "minority friendly" is a bunch of BS. Affluent new residents (such as high-tech employees) are very passive-aggressive about "accepting" minorities, but behind closed-doors they are actually very conservative. And the city policies are there to prove my point. I am not trying to discourage you. I'm just trying to alert you to take the whole "SF vibe" with a grain of salt, as my wife and I have witnessed that first hand.
