[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SF is fun, but I find it one of the least livable cities in the US.  It is just so expensive, taxes in CA are so high, and it will only get worse.  I moved away from the Bay Area 10 years ago and while I like to visit, I'd never move back to live there again.

Also it might be a minor thing, but the number of mentally ill homeless people and just the smell of the city (very strong urine smell, and lots of feces everywhere) are just a big turnoff.  [/quote]

I agree with all this. My fiancé (now DH) and I lived there in our late 20s. Yes, we did have a ton of fun (wine country visits, biking, hiking, eating). BUT, we also were 'done' after two years. I hated that my morning commute (walk or bike) always had my stepping over a homeless man who was either: covered in his own feces, yelling at me, or jacking off in front of me and spooging on sidewalk. I hated being cold in August in one of the many, many microclimates. Public trans goes everywhere but it's crowded and smelly (see above comment on homelessness). It is a fun place to live when you are young, but no place to raise a family or attempt owning a home. [/quote]
