    I lived in SF and the bay area for nearly 30 years, left 7 years ago. I liked it there (it's my hometown) and didn't want to leave. I still go back and visit family and every time I go I am able to see it more objectively. I miss it less and less and have been very happy I left. The San Francisco I loved is barely recognizable anymore.

    Many people love it, but the payoff is not worth the price to me, and I don't just mean money, I mean the whole experience of living there. If you're set on the area, I'd recommend the east bay, or even further east or north, as long as you don't have to commute.

    • east bay is a shitholeuberdesigner
    • perhaps, but I like it better than SFarthur
    • Oakland and Berkeley are fucking great.p-mac
