Do you think San Francisco is a good place to live if the cost isn’t that high? Purely from demographics & culture perspective?

San Diego is better

True but for young people in downtown San Diego area + the fact that you got TJs (Tijuana) close by with some of the finest women makes it a good place to live for young folks as well

California is disgusting. I’ve moved to SF after business school but could not tolerate it and left after a year. It’s horribly dirty, everything is run down, infrastructure is shit, homeless/junkies/crazies everywhere. Watch out not to step into human shit in the middle of the street. Nice to me you, fucked up person shooting up heroin on my doorstep (fancy part of the city too). Steal 10%+ of my money in state taxes to provide exactly what services? Everything that is public is utter crap. Sorry, but parks and nature don’t make up for this 3rd world hell hole kind of life.

Somebody mentioned good restaurant scene - really? Lol. SF has maybe a handful semi-decent restaurants and they always have a line around the block. Come to New England or, better yet, Europe - you can find a restaurant on any corner that is better than the best SF can offer.

And what’s with the women with hairy legs wearing shorts?!

Update - and all of the responses I’m seeing here are “Sean Hannity diet” and “stop watching Fox News”. Y’all are in denial, you know that, right?

Some will laugh about NE but it has old buildings similar to Europe. Unfortunately a lot of the US has minimal history. The buildings are made out of wood. The only draw is nightlife.

I love it!

I have to admit that I wasn't terribly impressed by the virtual Co-Lo for Digital. The exception to that, though, was David's insightful comment that leadership knows and expects that many of us are struggling to come back from the pandemic, and it's okay to ask for help and or take a leave. Digital culture, and how we are real and take care of each other, is just AMAZING. That speech alone made me so proud to be here and turned around a lot of my negative thoughts.
