San Francisco Reviews
Rating 4.15 out of 5 1,039 reviews
San Francisco is a city of contrasts. On one hand, it's a vibrant, cultural hub with stunning landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and diverse neighborhoods brimming with character. I love the access to incredible food, the tech innovation, and the scenic beauty, from Ocean Beach to the rolling hills. However, living here isn't without its challenges. The cost of living is astronomical, making it hard for many to afford housing. The city also grapples with significant homelessness and a struggling public transit system. Despite these issues, the unique charm and progressive spirit of San Francisco keep me rooted here.
I live in the heart of the city, right off of Golden Gate Park and Haight Street. I am thrown into a world-wind of diversity and tourism. I am constantly meeting new people and give them reviews of my experiences living in a major city. Being able to bus 10 minutes to get the best Pho in the city, then commuting another 30 minutes to reach the Golden Gate Bridge and having a picnic date at Crissy Fields. I have met a wide variety of different kinds of people who have drastically different lives. In the Marina, I am able to meet those who work in tech and big companies, then I can go to Inner Richmond and meet small business owners who own their business with their family. There is new projects being built everyday to help bridge the gap within the community. The ongoing protests that occur blocks away from me, will always motivation me to fight for what I believe in and how the possibilities are endless. I am eternally grateful for the opportunities I receive from this city.
I love the strong community of San Francisco. There are so many micro-neighborhoods that have unique small businesses that thrive on community business. I wish that the unfortunate drug epidemic in the downtown area was being better addressed, since it risks the safety of its citizens both housed and un-housed.
