[quote=Anonymous]I live part time in SF and part time in DC.  You don't need a car in the city - walk, take the cable car (so fun) and uber/lyft.  I agree with PP who said stay on Nob Hill.  Don't listen to the naysayers - there are so many great neighborhoods to explore.  We walk all over the city and have never had any problems with crime.  Explore North Beach, Pacific Heights, Cow Hollow, Japantown, Chinatown, Marina, Russian Hill.  So many great little restaurants, boutiques, gourmet and wine shops (buy stuff for a picnic and go to the Presidio for spectacular views and hikes).  It's still a vibrant city with residents out and about enjoying the neighborhoods, and tourists are back in droves.

Some of the best food in the country is in SF - particularly Japanese, Italian, Chinese.  Mexican is good but it's better in LA.

Re crime: yes there are a lot of homeless people who are mostly harmless but there are some who are agressive.  My adivce it to not engage with them.  Totally avoid the Tenderloin, which is a really horrible place right now.  Yes there's crime but it's way up in DC as well.  Just the other day two couples were held up at gunpoint in Shaw and had their dogs kidnapped!!  We drive out of the city a lot in all directions - Berkeley and Oakland, Silicon Valley and up north to the wine country or Muir Woods area for hikes.  We've never had our car broken into nor have any of our friends or family who live in the area.  In the city - yes it's a chronic problem and there even street signs all over warning folks to not leave anything in their cars.

Enjoy PP - SF is still a beautiful city with lots to enjoy.  Book way ahead for Alcatraz - it's always booked up!
