Though it does have its downfalls like high living prices, lots of traffic, and a large homeless population, the city is full of so many unique people, fun things to do, and beautiful sights that make up for it. I'm always as happy to explore the city as any tourist would be, even though I only live a short drive away!

I lived in the SF area for 30 years. It's a wonderful City!!!

I was there for 5 days about two weeks ago. I have seen Chicago, New York but San Francisco has a class of its own. So beautiful and so unique

Been to San Francisco twice. 2017 I drove in a Mustang Gt convertible from Toledo to Big Basin state park, then from the park to Pier 39 for lunch. And 2020, before the coronavirus outbreak, I flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday and we went to Lake Tahoe, Muir woods, Alcatraz island, Pier 39 for dinner, California state railroad museum in Sacramento and Yosemite national park.

My sister just moved here a year ago. It’s expensive to rent and she says there’s a lot of homelessness.

Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian, San Francesco d'Assisi) founded the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church. Born in 1181 (or 1182), he is remembered for his generosity to the poor and his willingness to minister to the lepers. However, what many people recall most favorably about him is his love for animals and nature. Many of the stories that surround the life of Saint Francis say that he had a great love for animals and the environment. He believed that nature itself was the mirror of God. Pope Gregory IX canonized Francis on July 16, 1228.

Sometimes I wonder if San Francisco could be a great place to film a super hero movie the perfect scene for one

[Run.Ran.Run]

Umm, no. Nice try, but you're glossing over the real sewer that city has become. I'm glad to have good memories of when I lived there...very glad I got out!
