    I lived in the mission for a few years 16th and Guerrero, It was fun for a bit, but the shine wore off after too many petty crime incidents. Once my first kid was born, we decided the junkies on the play sets at Mission Delores Park prob not where I wanted to raise a kid. Moved over to Berkeley. The trick to living in the East Bay is a motorcycle. You get to skip the toll plaza (as an mc you are considered high occupancy vehicle) and split lanes across the Bay Bridge. Tons of mc metered spots in soma and such (at least there used to be). Even so, after a few years the Peoples Republic of Berkeley started wearing on me as well. I never made more money and had less in my pocket at the end of the week. Fanatics are sooo far left, they are coming back around to the right again.... I now live very rural in the midwest and couldn't be happier. guess i just got old faster than i expected, or i developed a super low tolerance for general human bs. Best of luck in you endeavors!
