Currently in NYC and used to live in SF and the Peninsula 13 years ago. I think about coming back. I know people have said 'it's changed', but I'm trying to get an accurate view of what it's like now not just what Reddit says, and to know new areas that have popped up. I visited SF a year ago and it felt the same. I don't need to know about how downtown has changed - it's more 'if you had a chance, would you move back?' assuming you could find work?

A lot of things have just been magnified. The rich people are shockingly more rich (and you can feel it in town). Nice areas have gotten even nicer. Bad areas have gotten worse. Wealth inequality has grown. Home affordability is much worse outside of the city but fairly flat in the city, interest rates aside

I agree with this. Everything is just more.

The bigger question is what you miss/want regarding SF. It’s also important to talk about where in the city you want to be and what you wish to do there: some neighborhoods have changed more than others!

This! This is why I never ever want to be in NYC. People are rude and also glamorize being rude.

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.

35F divorced with a kid. I think I will never get remarried or in a serious relationship again. Lots of men don't like dating women with children.

Many with kids live on the same street as their ex wives so they can be close to their child. I'm not comfortable dating guys like that. On the flip side there are the ones that were never married, which by this age cont
