A ton of great food, lots of concerts and shows from all over the world, great weather, and relatively easy access to world class outdoor activities?

Heaven forbid someone would want to live in a phenomenal climate in a city with good diversity and tolerant people.

Great climate and gorgeous scenery but it is a city that lost a ground war with an army of homeless drug addicts.

Human feces on all of the streets, regular property crime, stores closing up and moving away, intense regulatory oversight for small businesses along with high costs.

No one I know who is starting something novel is doing it in California.

The climate in the south Bay Area is better most of the year.

I wouldn't say SF's climate is that good - SoCal weather is far superior. And many of the San Franciscans I came across during my time there were pretentious and snobby. The rest of the Bay Area wasn't any better, and I'm much happier since moving to NYC.

Is there anything left of SF? It’s been a shitshow for years , why anyone wants to live there is perplexing.

Back in the 80's during the aids epidemic, conservatives used to complain about SF for being "gay" and "Sodom and Gomorrah" but then started getting called out for being homophobic in the 90's, so they had to come up with new ways to express their disdain for the city. San Francisco is a beautiful city and I enjoy visiting. There are parts of it that are an absolute nightmare, but that's also true of any major city.

Box everyone who criticizes livability and safety issues of SF with 80’s era southern baptists? Nice one bro.

I didn't box everyone. I said conservatives. Fox News loves to bash San Francisco. I have to live around conservatives who are always bashing San Francisco. I think the source of it is homophobia. That's my opinion. I understand yours. Yes, I agree, it would be wrong to call everyone who has a criticsim of something in SF as homophobic.

No comment on the city itself, or what it's like for unskilled workers, but my old boss moved there to get a US$300k/yr salary at Uber.

He was getting around US$100k/yr in Melbourne.

Conservatives are allowed to criticize things and they’re not automatically driven by some sort of *phobia.

Absolutely. I am big supporter of Liz Cheney and have given her money. I like her brand of conservatism.
