Pros: It's beautiful, fun, a lot of things going on everyday, plenty of clubs, restaurants, bars, parks, people are mostly nice and polite, there is a great diversity of neighborhoods,a good public transportation system, and finally it's the hometown of the Anchor Steam beer!!! Cons: The weather in some parts of the city sucks, housing is expensive and highly competitive in terms of finding a place, parking is most of the times a nightmare, and clubs close at 2 am

I'm really not a fan of American cities outside of the Philly-Boston corridor, but San Francisco has a kind of panache to it that's very hard to come by. It's definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and despite being hyper expensive over all, there are innumerable great ethnic restaurants that you can eat at for cheap, which is a big plus for anyone traveling on a budget. The one thing that really holds the place down in my book is the snotty attitude I tend to run into there. A lot of people are very quick to judge Easterners (and everyone else) as backward snobs, without a clue as to how snobby it is to make that judgment, or in many cases any real clue about what east coast life is like. Luckily though, I happen to have a couple good friends there to visit.

hate california.

I'll put it this way I rather visit San Fran over LA any day of the week, but I'm still not a fan. I think that the city has a weird laid back vibe mixed with the high pace of a city. It doesn't really work for me. I was really disturbed to see that each time I have been in San Fran that the homeless situation has only gotten worse. It's really a hindrance to the city. Sure, I got some great stories while I was there, but get these people homes! I will say that San Fran has really amazing architecture, but my love of the city stops there.

I enjoy all of California. Two years ago I spent two weeks touring the entire state with my
then- girlfriend. San Francisco was a nice place to visit, I especially enjoyed the Haight-Ashbury District. I Also had fun in Chinatown and the Fillmore. San Francisco is a fun place to visit, but bring money because it is expensive.

All of the comments about "too many gays" in San Francisco just prove how ignorant most people are. Unless you're in or around the Castro District, you won't see that many obviously gay people. I doubt most of the reviewers here have even been to San Francisco. All they know are the stereotypes. God damned fools.

This is a fun city to go to. Beautiful scenory, lots of shops, and cool place to check out like Alcatraz, Golden Gate, Pier 39, Lombard Street (the crookedest street in world), and Coit Tower. I also had my wedding and honeymoon there!

Word of advice though, don't drive a manuel transmission there!!!

San Francisco is a beautiful city - one of the most scenic places I've ever been to. From Pier 39 to its great parks, this city is definitely my favorite west coast American city.

But then again, I was born in L.A.

the streets suck,the water sucks but theres some good partying to do there.

Beautiful city..but it's politics suck!

san fransisco is probally a beautiful place how ever i suspect that a its a ticking time bomb for a huge earthquake...

Awesome city and its got so many things to see.

You can get a marijuana card there for medicinal purposes, that makes it 5 stars alone

San Francisco, is a great town. For a big city is has a serene feel.

oooo i wanna see the
golden gate bridge!!!!

I want to live there, seriously.

awsome place

Except for the ultra-liberal politics, amazing city and metro.

I got to spend a week touring California, stayed in San Fran 3 of those days, it is awesome there.

The San Francisco Bay Area currently hosts nine major league sports franchises.

Great place to visit with allot of attractions, but bring a jacket because it's cold.

pretty place

A lively, diverse, and inclusive city, and one of the few places on the west coast where an east coast intellectual might feel at home.

All my gay friends live there!
No meat shortage in SF

100

liberal america hell yes

Lots of liberals, lots of homosexuals and high cost of living! Other than that I bet it would be a beautiful place to visit.

Frisco was a great place to live prior to 1967 - and not bad for a few years after that - until greedy landlords and yuppies finally made it unaffordable for interesting and artistic people. Bohemia is dying, if not already dead.

San Fran is a great city for a fat lesbian like me. Unfortunately, I can't afford it!  Nice restaurants and public transportation, like the BART, is very efficient here.

Lets face it! San Francisco is one of the better cities in the U.S. I haven't been their but I'll be down there very soon and I already know I'm going to love it there.

its here, its queer, get used to it

There aren't any blue skies...

The Emerald of the West or West Bohemia
