I'd like to see responses too. I've been there once about ten years ago, it's very beautiful. But I remember driving was insane.

Dude...California is the S.HIT! We are the God of all states. Our diversity means we have a great selection of food, women, and culture. Our weather rocks! We have the hottest chicks. There is always something to do. You're gonna love it.

The hottest chicks. Sure, dude. Way to spread the misinformation.

Well, next to Manhattan, SF is the most expensive place to live in America. Housing is very expensive, so be prepared for that.

SF is predominantly White, but is still a multicultural city. There is a China-town, Japan-town, Little Italy, etc. But these areas are very small, but still pretty neat to visit every now and then. There is a large Asian population in certain parts.

There are a lot of nightclubs all over, but I think the biggest part for bars is the Marina District. It's adjacent to Park Presidio and pretty young. Maxim rated it as one the best areas to find a date, as much of the crowd is around 25-35. This area is like 99% white. But the crowd tends to be the preppy, Jon Meyer listening type. So buy buy a trendy blazer and a pair of all-stars to wear. There are other districts to live, bit I think this one is the most fun.

I've never been to Boston, but SF is often compared to it. They are both very liberal, so be prepared to see anything. When visiting SF, its best to have an open mind and just appreciate the diversity. It's not going to change, so you just have to accept it if you are more conservative. Visit Haite Ashberry if you dare.

The housing isn't the best, in my opinion. They are mostly old, victorian style house types. Some have been remodeled, but it's mostly the interior. Yeah driving sucks, SF is way too condensed. SF is very small in area, yet the population exceeds 800,000.

There really is no city like it, it's unique in its own way. Of course it's beautiful, with its hills and views, but mostly it's the atmosphere that seperates it from most.

I don't think its anything like Vancouver. This is city life and very fast paced. The are plenty of jobs especially in silicon valley, which is around 30 miles south of SF. The nightlife is good, I dont think it's club crazy like L.A. or Miami, but there's always a good bar to go to. The girls are above average in looks, a little less slvtty than L.A. Overall a a different kind of city, but in a good way.

Now there is a decent report! Still sounds like a terrible place for me, but the report was fantastic. You can pretty much lock this thread after that post. Big juicy props to this poster :yes:

I hear there's a good dance music scene there too. That's what interests me.

Depends which part of frisco you live in. If you are around the gang members. Just don't act hard n sh!t. Or go around lookn all flashy cuz you will get your stuff took. Other than that just relax and get to know the area.

damn homie u must have alot of cash...cuz i lived in cen-cal (valley aka $hithole) and always wanted to go to the bay... HELLA money tho...

 

[ready123]

agree w/ Sandow. I lived/worked in Silicon Valley for 2 years - SF was the place to hit up on the weekend. All the locals just refer to it as "the city"

Golden Gate Park is a free date place

and Twin Peaks is the make-out spot up there

SF Girls are also btchier than LA girls

Hell yea! ^

But...you forgot one thing, its the the worst where hes moving....









































EARTHQUAKES!!!!!

 

[ValleyDJing]

F.uck earthquakes dude. Major earthquakes hit around what...once or twice every 3 decades maybe? Not even something to worry about in my opinion.


California is badass, although I will say this...of all the places in California for you to move...San Francisco is pretty gay, literally and figuratively.

 

[HandyAndy]

Dont move to Oakland, its a bad neighborhood. But its really easy to find a nice place in san fran, nothing to worry about.

But california is due for a "big one" It can come at anytime, but your not gonna know when obviously, so i guess you shouldnt worry.
