San Francisco: City of World Class Filth

Very long.

The Sunset might as well be San Bruno. Has little to do with the City on the bayside. I learned to drive out there. Nobody there during the day.

I wonder what dragonboy has to say about that

Elt1 · July 15, 2018, 4:40pm

He already has, by buying in San Bruno:sunglasses:

Absolutely wrong, and I bet a lot of parents in Manhattan would say it is great for a kid to grow up in a big, bustling city. Hey, that is real life. Nothing wrong with toughening that skin on lil Johnny or Jane at an early age. At the most basic level, what is a parent supposed to do for their kids? Probably just to feed them and nurture them but a big one to me is to prepare them for the real world. There is no better training ground than the concrete jungle. Welcome to the jungle!!!

Again, friends kids who grew up in the Fab 7x7 and went to public schools here are doctors in training. Recent stuff…

Concrete jungle is accepted. It is the poo, needles and aggressive homeless wackjobs that are stealing SF from law abiding taxpayers.

Oh my goodness for once I agree with you on your Fab7x7 bias…

Im not, but sf doesnt look good enough for kids imho a kid should be able to ride his bike blocks and blocks in safety. They should be able to play games in a no traffic/culdesac street.

Actually, I have a friend who moved from NYC to the suburbs. Except for not being zoned for schools like the Bronx school of science anymore, she says it’s been a vast improvement.

Depends on where she moved from. Did she move from a multi-million dollar neighborhood in Manhattan or a slum in the Bronx?

Also, depends on where she moved to. To an upscale suburb like the Hamptons or a failed city like Newark?

Terri · July 15, 2018, 7:52pm

Bronx->Westchester. She’s happy having green space and her own yard. You’re not going to get that in Manhattan for sure. Bronx was a bit greener.

wuqijun · July 15, 2018, 7:56pm

Well, obviously. We all know what kind of a neighborhood Bronx is…

Terri · July 15, 2018, 9:07pm

Greener than Manhattan.

wuqijun · July 15, 2018, 9:27pm

Doesn’t mean much. Amazon rainforest is the greenest.

tomato · July 15, 2018, 9:28pm

I like when sf means all of sf, but then you go into dividing nyc into its boroughs, to pick on.

tomato · July 15, 2018, 9:30pm

Green is good. Being inside a bit of green is good. I dont think i could go back to living in a city with very little green. I am not an outdoorsy person, but it helps to see trees and pakrs around.

wuqijun · July 15, 2018, 9:46pm

Things are never black and white. We all know that

Terri · July 15, 2018, 10:43pm

Me neither.

Yeah. And cities are definitely very very gray.

wuqijun · July 15, 2018, 10:53pm

The amazon rainforest welcomes you with open arms.

Terri · July 15, 2018, 11:53pm

I hear it’s being chopped down to feed the people in cities. Clearly cities are evil.

No need to go to amazon. Tahoe is there, you can even get investing tips from elt1 and be well off.
