I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I'm a *Native San Francisco Resident* and I'll say that it's rare to see such accurate & honest takes about San Francisco but you did it so thanks a lot for this informative video

San Francisco is still a wonderful city to be in 😀👍💯

Watching your video about SF has made me sad because I miss living there. I lived in SF for almost 30 years but unfortunately my family and I moved out of California last year. I miss living at the outer Richmond district because it was a walking distance to the beach and the park. Thank you for making this video about my hometown.

Thank you for this video. It somehow makes me feel a little better.

I am scheduled to move to San Francisco for a new job in a month’s time. Sometimes when I watch the news or some youtube videos, I get discouraged. Is it still worth moving to San Francisco?

Great video!! I agree with all you have mentioned

[neilharvey]

Really well done and accurate. Too many people focus on only the Tenderloin and Market problem areas, but as you have accurately pointed out, that's actually a small part of The City.

San Francisco native here, you're spot on. Great vid!

If you are okay with the fog. I would move to the inner sunset/inner Richmond area. They have their own little restaurants, bars, etc. Also it is much cheaper and away from downtown SF. So it will be much cheaper, cleaner, and very very few homeless. Lived in inner sunset for 4 years. The muni runs right down the middle and my apartment which was a 1 bed 900 sq ft apartment had a barn garage parking spot all for $2500. Still pricey but it I split that with my gf. If you have money- I would live in North Beach.
