San Francisco is really nice. While it isn't the largest city, it does make up for it by having the 2nd largest population density in the United States and one of the nicest downtown and waterfront areas around. The city is beautiful, the ocean is right there and the topography is kickass.
Things that aren't rad about San Francisco.
- There are homeless people everywhere. They should do what New York did, put them on an old cruise ship and float them out to sea never to be heard from ever again.
- It costs lots of money. San Francisco felt like New York in the way that every time I looekd into my wallet it was empty.
- Rain and Fog. No thanks. I'm from a place right now where it rains less than 20 times a year. In the 4 days that I was in San Francisco it rained 3 times and it was foggy every single day.
- Earthquakes: I'm from the East. The ground does not move back home and something tells me that I'd never quite get used to the fact that I could wake up in the middle of the night with my bedroom shaking like a Mexican space shuttle.
If you can only find 4 things wrong with a place you'd like to move to then you're in pretty good shape. I enjoy the notion of living in the city, going to work and then going surfing when I get home... Now if only I knew how to surf.
