How bad are the crime and safety issues in San Francisco? Any recommendations on neighborhoods to live in or avoid? Moving with my partner from a very safe city, and the news and crime maps for SF are a bit disconcerting, to say the least.

It's hard to say without knowing what type of neighborhood you're looking for. These are a little bit less central, but generally pretty chill: inner sunset, outer sunset, inner Richmond, outer Richmond, West Portal.

Born and raised in SF and second this. Outer Richmond may be a bit far from downtown via Public transport though
If looking in Sunset, look for a place easily walkable to the L or N train

Lol don’t do lower nob hill. That’s code for tenderloin.

Hayes Valley has some nice new buildings. But I’d honestly suggest getting a non building apartment for a proper SF experience. My picks:

To walk: try Russian hill or north beach.

Subway: Mission (stick to the 24th street stop. Although there still is some crime)

Biking distance but no subway (busses though): Lower Haight, NOPA, Cole Valley, Inner Richmond.

It’s wonderful here.

Pac heights is also a good option

I live in Lower Pack Heights, and it's safe. The Castro and Duboce triangle are good too. All 3 are right on major transportation lines, so commutes are short to the FiDi.

Trying to fill 2-3 days somewhere on the west coast (will be coming from Seattle before coming back to the Midwest). Was thinking San Diego maybe - what is there to do in San Diego? Would it be fun solo? Any other places I should go instead? Basically have a full week off after 4th of July, thought I would just chill at home but now realizing I probably want to spend at least some of that time going somewhere.

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle?

I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
