This is just false; San Francisco is plenty walkable and public transit generally works quite well, despite the grousing you may hear from the people whom it has spoiled.
- stephencanon 13y agoBerkeley and Palo Alto are both exceedingly walkable/bikeable as well (though taking public transit from Palo Alto to anywhere else can be a bit painful). This shouldn’t be surprising at all, since both have huge populations of people who generally don’t drive (students).
- delackner 13y agoFair enough, but when i lived there, every single person i knew had a car and real estate in SF is so astronomically expensive that none of my friends, all of them highly paid, live IN the city. So living in SF but never getting in a car doesnt seem realistic unless you dont mind never visiting your friends. I suppose that makes SF liveable without a car
- _pius 13y agoJust out of curiosity, when did you live there? I live in SF without a car and I'd be hard pressed to name three friends who do have a car.
