[quote=Anonymous]We live in SF now after a decade in DC. I cannot wait to leave. We're in one of the nicer, more family friendly neighborhoods (the Richmond) and in three years here we've had bikes stolen from our garage, a human being pooped in front of our house and my toddler found it (with his hands), and a crazy man knocked all our planters off our porch and then moved on to our neighbor's house, where he screamed obscenities at a mom and newborn through their ground-floor windows while throwing food at their windows/door. (They've since moved.) Our local Walgreens closed because of retail theft, which I personally witnessed a half dozen times, and this week two cars were driving down our big commercial street, firing shots at each other.

And for the pleasure of living like this, we paid over a million for a tiny "remodeled" condo in a building that we've recently discovered needs about $500k in repairs due to a super shady/bad contractor whose friend and long-time engineer (and the engineer of record on our remodel) has been indicted multiple times for bank fraud, permit fraud, and pay-to-play.

Then there's our schools.

I'm not saying there aren't things I like about the city - starting with our response to Covid, which really was a national model, imho - but SF is just on a whole other level when it comes to other aspects of quality of life. We had bikes stolen in DC and of course, there was crime. But SF is just.... more bad. And more frequent bad. And a wider variety of bad sh*t happening that no one wants to have to endure over 10 years, let alone in three.[/quote]
