Have you considered the possibility that quite a few of the people you’re complaining about are in the same boat? ---

Until SanFrancisco gets rid of the fucking Giants, they will be on my shit list. ---

I visited San Francisco on business a few times in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Enjoyed it so much I added a couple of days to my trip one time and brought my wife along. Loved the city. Haven’t been there in over 20 years, however. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuSnV5EK5eI) (Oh so serious - too funny) It took me awhile of being a NYer, but I eventually fell in love with NYC. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/VrPedKkNsh4/hqdefault.jpg "Manhattan Opening (Woody Allen)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrPedKkNsh4) Boston, Madison Wisconsin, and probably some college towns I haven’t been to yet are the most enjoyable places in this country - - - - for me. ---

So why aren’t you _ **BigAppleBeantownBucky**?_ But I’m with you on your choice of towns. Live in Madison, family’s from Boston, and I visited SF this summer for the first time. And it was the first time I ever rescheduled a flight home to get more time in a city (and I was staying in the Tenderloin) (though I wasn’t eating there… taco trucks in the Mission!) (and don’t forget Philz Coffee) (damn, I could do parentheses all night…) (really) ---

Either get busy making it better or move somewhere you like more. Spending your life whining about living in a place you hate is kinda stupid. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/goddamn-i-hate-san-francisco/298023.md?page=8)
