If I didn't work at home in the forest, I'd move there over any other city. -- Nom=de=Plume Live there? No way. Crappy weather, crappy politics. But a fun place to visit. I grew up across the bay and moved over the hill to a place that is not foggy 1/2 the year. I worked there and graduated university there, and still own property there. Just do not get me started on the Assessors office. But a crappy place to live. Unless you were maybe 21-28 and high income. |

It's restful compared to the heat and cold found elsewhere. There are places in SF that aren't all that foggy, although many places are. The politics is _interesting_ for sure. Very, very local. I have several friends quite a bit older that 28 who live there, own their home, and they love it. I seriously considered buying a place on Russian Hill (yes, it's foggy there), but it just too much of a stretch. -- Nom=de=Plume |
