Here's a clue on the taxi situation. SF is 7 miles x 7 miles (and the bulk of this is Richmond or Sunset where you'll rarely go). Walk. Ride a bike. Take the Muni or BART. Problem solved.

Have you tried walking from the Marina to the Mission, late at night, wearing leather loafers? It kinda sucks.

And MUNI isn't public transport, it's just a homeless shelter with wheels.

Don't go to the Marina and you won't have that problem.

I don't mean to flame or rip on Kul, but why are they letting grads of the program--with successful exits under their belts!--go through YC again? Aren't there enough awesome teams out there that need this program a first time?

I'm more curious about why grads are redoing the program...I understand the stick with what works mentality but Y-comb alumni should already have the ears of investors. You don't need yc to focus on product. As I'm writing this I guess the exception might be if your customers are heavily technical, like the heroku for NFC.

Actually I've done that many times. Great exercise.

But the Marina is the best part of San Francisco!
