It actually can in the neighborhood we're looking at though admittedly it's about as far from the downtown as you can get and still be in SF.[/quote]

So ... Outer Sunset or Outer Richmond? I live downtown (rent) and actually hate going out there. It feels like the suburbs. Not much is walkable. [/quote]

It isn't bad out there. The street cars run along the major streets and there are lots of small businesses in the area. [/quote]

Yeah, it IS bad out there. I've got friends out in the avenues and taken the L and N out to them. The commute in the morning to FiDi is almost an hour, and the small businesses you speak of are overall, pretty shitty. All the people I know out there come downtown to do their main shopping (Trader Joes, Target, Container Store, etc.). They hit up the Whole Foods right outside GG Park next to the McDonalds, and the Safeway during the week. But they consider those fill-ins. [/quote]

Those are the people you know. Not sure where they are originally from but SF natives take it in stride. Again, the city is pretty small so grocery shopping and other errands don't tend to eat up much time. Most people have a car and if you don't then Uber is a good stand in on the weekends. Otherwise the public transport within city limits is OK though aging so you will need to factor in break downs, etc. There are other places to shop in SF other than WF, TJs, and Safeway. [/quote]
