I visited San Francisco a few times and was not impressed.
I lived in the bay area for almost two years while on a job contract. My
father often joked to me that one of Mark Twain's famous quotes was,
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a Summer in San Francisco." He
wasn't kidding.
San Fran is a great place for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to poop-on. Although he would have stiff competition from the so-called "local residents." South Park had the sentiment dead-on in their episode about electric vehicles and smugness.
Don't get me
wrong, the Northern California bay is a gorgeous area with lots of
scenery and the air felt much cleaner than what I was familiar with
growing up in Southern California. However, "The City" just felt like
Los Angeles to me, except if you crammed it all in to a much smaller
area, on a steep hill, surrounded it with an ocean and allowed Skid-Row
to take over the entire city.
If you ever plan on seeing the Golden Gate Bridge in person, bring an umbrella for the foggy drizzle and a thick pair of boots for the, um... well, just watch where you step. That's all I'm saying.
