San Francisco Least Favorites
What’s your least favorite thing about living in San Francisco?
- ALL the people, not that they suck, well most don’t, just the absurd amount of them. Tourist season is the worst. That and the weird Peter-Pan culture where adults still do awkward child like things, like go to raves. It’s very strange to talk to 40 year old men who attended a rave my 19 year old sister just went to. (Anonymous, 7 years)
- Cost of living, rent/mortgage, gross Korean food. (Anonymous, 7 years)
San Francisco Things To Do
What are fun things to do in San Francisco?

- Hiking, sightseeing, outdoor activities, eating, drinking. (Anonymous, 7 years)

San Francisco Crime
What’s the crime like in San Francisco? (hot spot areas, etc.)
- Any car. Basically anywhere. I don’t know. I grew up in a shadier neighborhood so I’m inclined to think it’s really not that bad. And crime is more related to a lack of common sense. If you park your car, don’t leave stuff in it people might wanna steal. (Anonymous, 7 years)
- Lots of homeless encampments, cellphone thefts, car break ins, package theft from unattended buildings/apartments/condos, bike theft, stroller theft. (Anonymous, 7 years)
San Francisco Advice
Any advice for people moving to San Francisco?
- Don’t. (Anonymous, 7 years)
- Have a lot of savings, get used to the urine smell on the streets, syringes, homeless people, rent will be much higher than you’re used to, no need to have a car or you’ll pay $250-300+ for rent just for your car, not much of a nightlife. (Anonymous, 7 years)
San Francisco Stories
Share an experience you’ve had in San Francisco (fun, crazy, dangerous, etc.).

San Francisco’s Future
How do you think San Francisco will change over the next 10 years?
- I think it will grow to fit the market and I think homelessness will get MUCH worse. But then once the bubble pops, it’ll go back to the ethnic/artistic hub it once was. (Anonymous, 7 years)
- More technological advances, self driving cars, robot employees, cashless. (Anonymous, 7 years)
