Hi all - traveling internationally from abroad to SFO and looking for recommendations on a safe amount of time to budget for the domestic segment from SFO to ORD. Not a citizen nor do I have global entry or any TSA status, will also be checking/re-checking bags. Thanks I’m advance!

MCT is I think 1.5 I-D, personally with all included with your statement would not do anything less than 2 hours. Also depends where you’re coming from, but if any delay happens that puts you under that amount as long as you aren’t on the last flight to ORD, should be able to catch a later flight.

Depending on what time of day you get in (higher staffing in customs etc during normal business hours) and how many other tourists are on your flight (vs citizens) time spent going through customs can vary a lot. I’ve never NOT waited in line though, so definitely have some buffer. I agree that 2 hours is probably enough.

IdR two-three hours should be good

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour.

I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
