Sorry. I didn't mean to aim prejudice towards homosexuals. i did not mean to express hatred towards your people. I would NEVER promote homophobic bigotry. So sorry.

San Francisco seems like the perfect place for you.

Frisco is a great place to live if you make over 300k, otherwise you have to live quite a ways away and traffic is shit. I turned down an offer from University of Pacific as a professor for that very reason.

Have you even visited the Bay Area before?

I work in SF, it's a beautiful big place with lots of sight seeing but I prefer living in a small city.

Drivers are assholes, unless you want to buy something for cheap stay away from Chinatown that place is a dump, the people there IMO have this sense of entitlement and feel of superiority, not all of them, there are some nice people.

Beautiful place to visit and take a vacation, but living there? Not for me.

If anything I recommend moving to Berkeley, it's not as hectic and it's still beautiful.

Walnut Creek is also a city you can check out (25 miles from SF), beautiful downtown, nice night life and Steph Curry has a house there.

Bay area women are mostly either feminists, ugly, sociopathic, or druggies. A lot like the men.

Night life is good, especially if you have money. Decent clubs, and every sort of party if you know the right people.

Food is great, and you can get almost any cuisine on the planet.

Culture is mostly either hipster shit, plastic, or stuff designed to suck money from the nouveau rich. Some of the hipster stuff can be pretty interesting if you can wade through all the shit. There's also good classical arts stuff(orchestra, ballet, fine arts, etc) if you're into it and have some money.

Everything is more expensive, and there's aggressive beggers everywhere, some of whom will try to take you for everything you own. Drivers suck, and really shows the personality of the people who've moved here over the past decade. If you rent an industrial unit, be careful, since there are a lot of landlords who will rent illegal units because people are desperate for anything cheap.

You should only move there if you are rich. other then that California will suck the life / money out of you. Overrated. A better city would be Portland

Seems like you are describing southern cal more than the bay area.

I don't think I've ever encountered a hipster outside of SF.

1. Irrelevant for you
2. Posting on ISH is the same as Chicago
3. They have Asian food don't worry
4. You'll love it
