Review of San Francisco, California


San Francisco ZERO quality of life (Not kidding)
Star Rating - 3/9/2019
Lived here in San Francisco for 8 years now, and fed up with the whole city. I was lured in by a high salary and position at a tech company. I grew up poor in a small town so it sounded good. I work in tech sector and have a pretty high paying job and I find rentals and mostly anything too high priced. So I dont know how anyone working a regular job like retail even makes it.

What does it tell you when the highest paid jobs in the city are at the city’s department of retirement services and the sheriff’s department. (it tells you that the city is corrupt and self serving.) Liberals have not only ruined San Francisco but California altogether, its a shame since its a beautiful state.

This is evident by the now famous amount of bums we have in the city and the needles and drug paraphernalia littering the parks and sidewalks at every turn. The place is akin to a 3rd orld country (likely worse). bum population is disgustingly high and crime ridden.

All I can say is I would be willing to take a 75% paycut to get the hell out of San Francisco in general, but tech jobs are not in high demand as much elsewhere. I hate to say, but I think the tech companies and all the hipster/trendies have ruined the whole city and created an environment where rents are overpriced, and drug use is rampant. I work with a lot of these tech hipsters and they are aggravating.

If you are thinking about moving here I will tell you without hesitation to think again. I thought a high salary and position would outweigh any negatives, but I will say that now I know why people say money isnt everything, because despite my salary that is fairly high even for the area I am miserable, I can only imagine people who dont earn close to as much. Quality of life in San Francisco is ZERO no matter how much you earn. Do yourself a favor and listen to what I am saying, there is NOTHING here for you. Its a dump. Find anywhere else.

Tech drones are Brain affected due to staring at screens their entire life since small child. Add the hipster element and you will want to strangle them. Avoid the tech and hipster havens to have a good quality of life. Coastal cities out West are ruined. Some back East..NY is in process of being destroyed as well. On the bright side San Fran offering 187,000 dollars per person for sidewalk poop cleaning jobs.
