My feeling is that unless one makes a big income and yes you mentioned ‘tech’.. then it’s plausible to move here…. But sadly my millennial kids cannot afford San Francisco or the Bay Area. One has been working for the same firm in Brisbane for 5 years, has a college degree and still lives with us because they cannot afford to buy a home and cannot afford to rent, and the other moved to a city on the other side of the continent and has started a new life there because she was able to buy a home on one salary…. And has a masters from a private university in Manhattan but chose to work in a field where she helps people in need…..
This breaks my heart to read, but I know it's true. I'm sorry. That must be really hard! I'll be honest, I'm worried about this for my own kids who are now 15 and 12. I'd love for them to stay close but it's unclear if they will be able to afford to start their lives here. The cost of living is very high, especially for those who are starting out.
Showed my last workplace before moving Back East - Hills Bros. Coffee! Lived in SF from 1978 - 1986. Moved from New England, and then back to New England. Two things that sum up why I still love that city (and why I now nostalgically browse real estate videos): 1 - political and cultural diversity and equity, far ahead of where I came from - still. My spirit felt free, after getting used to it. I miss that. 2 - panache -- just about everything San Franciscans do, they do with panache. Starting with all the bright colors everywhere. When I meet a San Franciscan here in N.E., their panache almost gives them away. I think the San Andreas has something to do with it? My most outstanding memory among many outstanding ones: partying with friends in the Richmond until the wee hours then, not wanting to wait all by myself to ride the Muni home, just walking from there to my studio apt. in the 24th and Mission area, hiking up above Cole Valley, across Upper Market and back down through Castro-Noe Valley to the Mission. Under a full moon, with the foghorn booming across the Bay, and all the lights spread out at my feet, and the stars that were visible above my head. Did that a few times. Still feeds my soul.
I grew up in the City and have lived here continuously since 1977. Before real estate skyrocketed to unbelievable levels, San Francisco was a magnet for culture and the arts. The City was home to legendary musicians such as Journey, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Huey Lewis & the News, Metallica, Sylvester, Carlos Santana, Green Day, Steve Miller Band, and Sly & the Family Stone to name a few. Now, I can't even think of any major music act that came out of SF since 2000. The one thing that really hasn't changed over the years is our vibrant food scene. Those who've been here since the 1980s will wax nostalgic at groundbreaking restaurants like Masa's, Stars, The Flying Saucer, Spork, Aqua, Cypress Club, Postrio, and Square One. However, even the food scene seems to have "cooled down" in this City since the pandemic. For 2 years in a row now, no Bay Area food institution was awarded a James Beard award and only one made it in World's 50 Best for 2024: Single Thread in Healdsburg.
I grew up in Deerfield, IL and have been living in San Francisco’s Richmond since 1994. Saw a swim friend yesterday who moved back here. I was surprised as he has so many choices given that he has EU citizenship and grew up in Boulder, CO. Not owning a car since 1994 has kept me from going broke and somehow manage to travel from Pier 27 cruise terminal after morning swim in Aquatic Park.
“We as locals know the real truth” is right!! I have lived here forever and I am still in awe of the variety and beauty of this town. I travel for work and I am always grateful to be back in SF 💙💙💙
Agree, I've traveled to so many beauiful places around the world and as much as I love to travel, I also love to come home. I ALWAYS miss the food and the beauty of the Bay Area is VERY hard to beat!
Your ability to engage your audience is commendable, with the quality content you produce, incorporating expert editing could significantly enhance your channel’s impact.
I lived in San Francisco for a cuople of years. The one thing that is mussing is the thiught that economucs doesn't doesn't apoly. Rent control and less hiusing doesn't increase hiusung costs, higher taxes don't don't get passed on to the consumer. I just returned from a ine week visit. Considering all the money in the tech money in the local economy, it's disappointing several neighborhoods are in such bad shape. The tech industry will have a harder time raising money 8n the new financial environment; so that advantage will be less goung forward.
I love the city despite tech, certainly not because of it. If you think it's great now, whoaaaa, you have no idea how amazing it was before the 1990s. Then, people came for spiritual and community reasons, not for personal wealth accumulation. That makes all the difference in the world.
I would have loved to have experienced the SF of the 90s! The world is changing all around us all the time and it’s a blessing to see different places at different times. They never stay the same.
Oh, it was always a Gold Rush city - but yes, the widening income gap has really accentuated the malaise everywhere. Sad to see. I'm hopeful San Francisco can, as always, lead with creative solutions. Speaking as one who lived there from 1978 - 1986. Still my most beloved city in the country. And I do love NYC (but live in Maine now).
I fell in love with the city the first time I visted in the 80s. For me, since I'm unable to drive due to my poor eyesight, a major factor is that it's one of the few cities where it's easy to get around without a car and the only one where it doesn't snow.
The best part of SF is its energy. It's not NYC go-go frantic, but a palpable "electricity" of the future. It's like "THIS is where tomorrow is being made". Yes, it's in Seattle, West LA, Berkeley, La Jolla, but to a lesser extent. Maybe it's the combination of the universities, the tech scene, bio tech on top of the Bohemian vibe. If only they could get over their repressed inferiority complex of Los Angeles.
LOL I watched the original Terminator in a theater on Geary when it came out. In the opening scene of future destruction and ruins and battles between humans and machines, when the heading "Los Angeles 2025 A.D." appeared on the screen, the whole theater cheered, followed by us laughing at ourselves.
People moving to San Francisco: Making 6 figures / year, live on the outskirts of city. I guarantee you aren't parking your car on the street downtown. Fairly certain you aren't doing any shopping there either. Keep it real. I used to party in SF all the time. Spent the first few years of my adult life at Ruby Sky watching EDM dj's spin. I wouldn't set foot in downtown today.
Downtown is going through a bit of a hard time. I think one problem is that retail shops can't stay open anywhere, not just SF downtown, because we ALL shop on line instead of going to brick and mortar stores. I know I'm guilty. I want them to be there for the rare occasion that I want to physically go in but unless we support them more often they can't afford to stay.
@livinginsanfranciscoca A lot less to do with online shopping and a lot more to do with the rampant crime, theft, and homelessness in the bay. It was once a beautiful metropolis and cultural hub, now the whole area reeks of urine, and is littered with homeless encampments and used needles. You literally cannot park on the street without getting your windows smashed in. My reference to the lack of downtown shopping is due to mass exodus of commerce, which is a direct result of our Governor's soft on crime policies. Despite all this, still one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
why would anyone in their right mind live downtown next to bars and strip clubs. they dont live in the outskirts they live in residential areas. Ruby sky was a joke anyway used to take advantage of tourists
@@christhompson6010 Sounds like you haven't been bipped yet. Yeah. it's so bad, it has it's own word.

San Francisco is the healthiest city in the USA. That's why people are still moving there. I am considering San Francisco as one of my top choices to move to after 25 years in Anchorage, Alaska which is the 118th healthiest city in the USA. I am looking forward to trying all the delicious, healthy Halal food in San Francisco. The culture of fitness specifically the Kickboxing and Muay Thai scene is another reason why I want to move to San Francisco.
Awesome! We have a video coming out in a few weeks just on the healthy aspects of SF. Stay tuned for that and let us know if you have any questions about moving here. Happy to help!
The Castro is a great area! Great walkability, transit & good weather! Feel free to reach out, and we can talk more about your specific needs! hello@ruthkrishnan.com
Do you live in San Francisco? Or ever even visited? I live in San Francisco and own a home here. What you’re saying isn’t accurate. Those things exist everywhere

@@jip230 They don't exist where I live. I have never seen a needle, human excrement on the streets, etc. The idea that you can't park without worrying about your windows getting smashed in broad daylight is totally foreign.

@@igottheshaft you've never seen a homeless person or someone with a mental health condition? Where exactly do you live? I live in San Francisco and depending on the neighborhood you're in, you may not encounter these things.
@@jip230 Realtors only show you the positive side of locations. If you own a burger chain, you're not going to talk about how hamburgers are unhealthy and bad for you. Make sense.
That’s not true. There’s tents in every single neighborhood except near Nancy pelosi mansion! Twin peaks, sunset, Richmond, north beach, panhandle…….. you tell me which neighborhood doesn’t have campers?
Been in SF for 20 years and still in love with the city. I'm still to this day always in awe of how beautiful the city is. I haven't owned a car in 20 years as its not needed living in SF. I'm more active and fit than i was when i was living in San Diego. Even though it is on the pricey side it does even out by not owning a car. The weather isnt bad and theres tons of things to do, even if I'm bored all I have to do is walk around the city and thats enough to keep me busy. And yes like any large city there is crime but I don't go to those areas.
I love the weather here but for some people it's too cool! Just depends on what you're looking for. It makes it perfect for outdoor work outs. We usually have about one month of "warmer" days- around sept, which is also a nice change.
San Francisco wasn't a tech city until former mayor Ed Lee gave them all huge tax breaks. After that they moved in and didn't contribute to the local economy at all because all the companies offered all inclusive deals that included everything they needed on site. I know because I worked for one of the biggest companies in the city and country. The city has always thrived from creators and intellects. The tech and AI industry will come and go and San Francisco will move on from it. It is a city built on the hospitality and art industry
Yeah, it really is the best place to live in. Then you have San Jose/santa Clara close by which offers so much also. Santa Cruz is not so far away either. And a nice trip to Hawaii is about 4 hours which is not as bad as going from New York. I used to love going to cha cha cha restaurant in SF. Oh they had the best paellas and calamari. Miss the shopping I did in SF also. 😢
I absolutely adore San Francisco! It’s my favorite city in America. I still daydream about moving there sometimes. It’s just too expensive for me but I can always visit. San Francisco, New Orleans, NYC, Austin and San Antonio are my favorite cities!
I'm originally from the East Coast and moved to Seattle. Great city, great jobs, but San Francisco has amazing weather. And as well, I want to make the transition from graphic design / print production in Seattle to programming/AI full-time in SF.
Not to mention: Child Abductions aka Sex Trafficking, Prostitution, Murders, Rape, Violent Crimes, Gang Violence, Tent Cities, Shit, Piss and Vomit everywhere you walk. All the homeless setting up shop and selling thousands in stolen merch from places like TARGET and tons of other businesses there. Fentanyl Zombies!!!
I work in Biopharma, we are a Professional gay couple. We moved up from Southern California. We finally had the income to make it our home. No matter how many sour grapes are put forth by those who cannot afford to stay. The 4 million Americans fortunate enough to be able to afford San Francisco and the Bay Area are truly blessed.
Actually the Grapes Are Pissed In 💩DoDoBrown is there as well don't forget about him DoDoBrown last time I checked people are running out of CA just look at all the UHauls EVERYWHERE. IF you wanna 30 year fixed bank product that is underwritten to FAIL or OVER Inflated Market Valuation Instability and Poverty that you are in the Right PLACE the wealthy have left CA they live in places that are much more insulated without OverPopulation exposure 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the best thing about CA period is the weather IF ONLY Texas had CA Weather. nobody wants to afford to stay people are building their wealth Elsewhere 🤷🪞
Why would anyone ever want to live in SF? Trust me, it's a horrible place to live. I stay only because of my duty to my wife and her family, who need us close by.
Sf gets bad rap but sf is not as bad as many portray it to be. Maybe perhaps they don’t want ppl moving in because of the jewel SF really is. Sure there is problems but if you ever look at the history of every cities they all did.

I can't think of a place I would rather go. When I travel I really enjoy seeing drug using zombies, human waste, trash and needles on the streets and sidewalks, and mentally insane people wandering around screaming at the sky. Also, seeing vandalism everywhere is a huge plus. When I travel it's really a special plus if my car broken into and my stuff is stolen. This neighborhood has so much to offer!
San Francisco or Chicago. A choice between the hammer or the hard spot. It does not get any more disillusioned than that. Which one are you voting for? Kevin Newscum, the nephew of Nancy Pelosi, or Lori Lightfoot? You probably miss the days of the great man who invented the famous words - never let a good crisis go to waste - and of course Michelle the not-so-belle.
This is so far off reality!!! The ONLY good thing about The SF Bay Area is the Weather and Water otherwise The SF Bay Area has LOST it's Diversity to over population and foreign Interests the only people doing well here are the foreigners who get paid in American Dollars compared to the rupee, Filipino peso, Mexican Peso, the Redback versus American Dollar and the Real Estate Market is fraudulent and a lie STOP LIEING IN AN ENDEAVOR TO SELL KUR SOVEREIGNTY!!! Please educate yourself on Reality ruclips.net/video/5CAVVp9Qqms/видео.htmlsi=H1ir6zkqkMrl1SBc
You moved to one of the most deady cities in the Bay Area? The entire Bay Area is pretty much a Death Trap by design especially Oakland. be very careful friend. O_O

It IS a very expensive place to live! I think we all wish it was more affordable!
I’ve lived here for close to 30 years and am still in love with this city. ❤
Very understandable!! I visit from Vancouver all the time.
I moved from NYC to sf bay area and what a refreshing change . To be in nature is what drove me to make this change
I have been here 50 years this year (the Bay Area). I was so grateful to see an upbeat, enthusiastic video of the city I love. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

My feeling is that unless one makes a big income and yes you mentioned ‘tech’.. then it’s plausible to move here…. But sadly my millennial kids cannot afford San Francisco or the Bay Area. One has been working for the same firm in Brisbane for 5 years, has a college degree and still lives with us because they cannot afford to buy a home and cannot afford to rent, and the other moved to a city on the other side of the continent and has started a new life there because she was able to buy a home on one salary…. And has a masters from a private university in Manhattan but chose to work in a field where she helps people in need…..

Showed my last workplace before moving Back East - Hills Bros. Coffee!
Lived in SF from 1978 - 1986. Moved from New England, and then back to New England. Two things that sum up why I still love that city (and why I now nostalgically browse real estate videos):
1 - political and cultural diversity and equity, far ahead of where I came from - still. My spirit felt free, after getting used to it. I miss that.
2 - panache -- just about everything San Franciscans do, they do with panache. Starting with all the bright colors everywhere. When I meet a San Franciscan here in N.E., their panache almost gives them away. I think the San Andreas has something to do with it?
My most outstanding memory among many outstanding ones: partying with friends in the Richmond until the wee hours then, not wanting to wait all by myself to ride the Muni home, just walking from there to my studio apt. in the 24th and Mission area, hiking up above Cole Valley, across Upper Market and back down through Castro-Noe Valley to the Mission. Under a full moon, with the foghorn booming across the Bay, and all the lights spread out at my feet, and the stars that were visible above my head. Did that a few times. Still feeds my soul.
It's not my home yet but I want it to be me and my friends just visited and omg we fell in love. Saving to move here.
We'd love to have you!
I grew up in the City and have lived here continuously since 1977. Before real estate skyrocketed to unbelievable levels, San Francisco was a magnet for culture and the arts.

Lol, yeah, but you sell real estate here, so of course you're gonna say this 😂
"Still a shit city with surrounding beauty."
I work in Biopharma, we are a Professional gay couple. We moved up from Southern California. We finally had the income to make it our home. No matter how many sour grapes are put forth by those who cannot afford to stay. The 4 million Americans fortunate enough to be able to afford San Francisco and the Bay Area are truly blessed.
Actually the Grapes Are Pissed In 💩DoDoBrown is there as well don't forget about him DoDoBrown last time I checked people are running out of CA just look at all the UHauls EVERYWHERE. IF you wanna 30 year fixed bank product that is underwritten to FAIL or OVER Inflated Market Valuation Instability and Poverty that you are in the Right PLACE the wealthy have left CA they live in places that are much more insulated without OverPopulation exposure 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the best thing about CA period is the weather IF ONLY Texas had CA Weather. nobody wants to afford to stay people are building their wealth Elsewhere 🤷🪞
Welcome to the Bay Area! We are so glad you're here!
@@livinginsanfranciscoca Me too. It took me a lifetime 😆
The people here now kind of suck….
Why would anyone ever want to live in SF? Trust me, it's a horrible place to live.
I stay only because of my duty to my wife and her family, who need us close by.
STOP HYPIN UP lost dreams 4 a lost city. Realism has vanished. TONY HALL has spoken the truth !
Sf gets bad rap but sf is not as bad as many portray it to be. Maybe perhaps they don’t want ppl moving in because of the jewel SF really is. Sure there is problems but if you ever look at the history of every cities they all did.
Yup Tony Hall is SPOT on pay no mind 2 jdos5643 he or she has an agenda 2 keep selling the city 🤣🧿🤣 or works 4 the Thompson Twins Lies lies LIES LIES yeah!!!

I can't think of a place I would rather go. When I travel I really enjoy seeing drug using zombies, human waste, trash and needles on the streets and sidewalks, and mentally insane people wandering around screaming at the sky. Also, seeing vandalism everywhere is a huge plus. When I travel it's really a special plus if my car broken into and my stuff is stolen. This neighborhood has so much to offer!
Just curious, have you actually been to SF or are you recounting what you hear in the "news"?
San Francisco or Chicago. A choice between the hammer or the hard spot. It does not get any more disillusioned than that. Which one are you voting for? Kevin Newscum, the nephew of Nancy Pelosi, or Lori Lightfoot?
You probably miss the days of the great man who invented the famous words - never let a good crisis go to waste - and of course Michelle the not-so-belle.
Lolz NICE Accent. 7 years yahhh ok
Garbage city!
Ha ha ! Good try! The place is horrible.
This is so far off reality!!! The ONLY good thing about The SF Bay Area is the Weather and Water otherwise The SF Bay Area has LOST it's Diversity to over population and foreign Interests the only people doing well here are the foreigners who get paid in American Dollars compared to the rupee, Filipino peso, Mexican Peso, the Redback versus American Dollar and the Real Estate Market is fraudulent and a lie STOP LIEING IN AN ENDEAVOR TO SELL KUR SOVEREIGNTY!!! Please educate yourself on Reality

No way SF beats Chicago on food.
Picked San Francisco food over Chicago? Strong disagree there lol
Don't tell anyone else how amazing it is! ;) Just kidding, we welcome anyone and everyone with open arms.
I moved to oakland last year and work in san fran and hate the bay area. Too pricey.
You moved to one of the most deady cities in the Bay Area? The entire Bay Area is pretty much a Death Trap by design especially Oakland. be very careful friend. O_O
