Yeah, its a great city alright, if you have money to burn. Everything from the food to the rent to the gas is rediculously high. Forget about buying a house unless you can mortgage a small island.
First of all the poverty in the city is through the roof. You know how they only show you the Golden Gate Bridge on TV? That's because it's the only thing worth looking at here. On its best day the city looks like an old, forgotten, run down third world country. The Tenderloin is a disaster with crackheads walking around everywhere, the city is littered with porn shops, nudy bars and asian massage parlors. The business in slowly vanishing from the retail areas, leaving only the giants like Macys and Saks and Bloomingdales and the financial area is a shameful miniature sized photocopy of New York City's battery park. Most of the people I know are unemployed and you cannot own a car here because you need to either pay a mini rent to keep it stored or you need to repark your car every twenty minutes. The city is really run down. All the buildings look similar because the building authority will not allow building over a certain height. I gotta tell ya that for a place that thinks itself progressive one big thing that's missing is progress.

San Francisco is the crappiest city I've ever visited or lived in.
San Fran is flippin' expensive.
It's a great city, in spite of Nancy Pelosi.
