Curious to hear from those who live in San Francisco - how is the experience living there especially considering some of the bad press the city has been getting for the crime, rise in homelessness, etc.?

Overall, I love SF. I lived there for three years before moving to SoCal for sun. It is a beautiful city.

I went there this weekend after 2 years and I’d say it’s a tad rougher than when I used to live there - like a bit more graffiti, and boarded up stores - but SF was a strong magnet for jobs and so got whacked by COVID. But it’s still a great city - the natural beauty, the people, the vibe - I’d move there if it worked for me.

Lots of people are getting duped by press reports about how bad it is so that they get a talking point against the woke Democratic city leadership or School District or whatever political boogeyman they’re after that week. But those players have very little bearing on what makes SF what it is, so it’s pointless.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?
