Yep, I could live here.

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.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

My cousin and her husband moved from San Fransisco to Maine because they couldn't afford to live there even with 2 incomes...    



5:22 PM

Jesus, that is rough. I can understand that. Even if I had a great paying job in that city I would somehow be broke as a joke. I'll stay in Boulder for a while before I venture out there.    



6:26 PM

My cousin lives in San Fran. He manages 2 restaurants out, there making 6 figures, and gets by in a 2 bedroom apartment above one of the restaurants. Unless there is a Johnny Mosely Mad Trix effect out there, I'll be moving to someplace that snows.    



8:03 PM

Speaking of homeless; did you see the 6+ crack deals going on between the Mission Street and Mezzanine?    



10:11 AM

Lame...cost of living is all relative...4hrs from Tahoe...10 minutes from world class surfing and mountain biking...can get your rocks off on any activity you want here...    



4:10 PM

Josh, dude the homeless people were everywhere. Can't the police just go on a murderous homeless spree or something?

I think I'll stay here in Boudler for a little while longer. We have 300 days of sunshine and can get to the mountains quicker. And from what I hear, our snow is better than Tahoe.    



4:56 PM

Or the homeless wackos that come up to you, grab your arm and scream "GIVE ME MONEY!!!!". I thew the homeless guy to the ground. It is one thing to ask for money, it is another thing to grab my arm and scream at me.
