San Francisco, CA
Love San Francisco! Maybe it's not for everybody.. -
2/26/2020I've lived in San Francisco for over 30 years. People exaggerate the problems that exist. It is true there is a homeless problem, as there is in all major cities across the nation. Since San Francisco is wonderfully generous to the downtrodden and has moderate weather, people prefer to be homeless here rather than places like Minneapolis. I wouldn't trade the weather and life style here for the midwest. I can golf all year long and people here have an independent and care free attitude. It is true that silicon valley high earning workers are helping to drive up prices of real estate and its expensive to live here for a variety of reasons. It's also true that not everybody wants to live here, because all cities have problems. But I believe there are many wonderful things to do here and the good outweighs the bad. Of course, it's too expensive. There are many things we need to make better. I don't know why people make their bitter claims about The City (by the bay). I know for instance the poop problem is not as crazy as it is claimed by many. I've never encountered it myself and I go to most neighborhoods. The mayor and others are addressing these problems, as they should. Maybe people make all the exaggerated claims because they're jealous or maybe it's our current politics. No matter all our faults, I still love San Francisco!
