They treat homeless drug addicts better than tax paying citizens. So theoretically it's free to live there.

San Fag here.

Unless you're planning a startup that needs as much VC money as possible, don't.

Just, don't.

The streets are literally covered in human feces...it's getting epidemic levels,....

We have enough tech fags here already, you can't afford it anyway, don't come here.

It’s a meme. You’ll have more fun in a place like San Diego. Seattle? Why San Fran? Also, are you coming from the East Coast?

>>13866333
do it, live in your car near work. its illegal to sleep in your car from 10pm-6am so you could do it legally if you worked from 5am-1pm and went to seel at 130pm-930pm

>>13866333
It's a good place to live if you're looking to find a husband

>>13866436
I read that but is it really THAT bad? I know that Spotify closed down their office because of drugs/homeless though

>>13866507
wut? How can it be illegal to sleep in your own property as long as it's on private land?

>>13866333
i live 10 miles out, and my rent is 900. lots of opportunity. dont listen to these other faggots

>>13866636
Yes, it is, you can easy see 3-4 piles of shit every block near downtown

>>13866685
>rent is 900

Do you live in a shed in east palo alto?

>>13866747
..which is said by every maga cultist on the internet

i lived there for 6 years and worked at 3 startups that got bought out

FUCK SF FUCK SOMA FUCK MENTALLY ILL NIGGERS AND FUCK FAGGOTS

>>13866333
you're trying to communicate on the internet by posting this shit on a website, on the fucking internet

has it occured to your putrid, mollusc brain that you can just google "rent flat average price SF"?

>>13866784
Oakland.

>>13866807
based and ptsd-pilled

>>13866636
Try asking this question to a site that isn't infected with trumpbots. I've been there four times and never saw this once.

>>13866807
and its all fucking contract work too. Even the phd i was reporting to was on a fucking 8 month temp contract at the biotech firm i worked at.

>>13866816
east or west? You out by the stadium? Lake merrit area is nice but you better be brave to live anywhere else.

>>13866827
never worked as a contractor but was offered to work at Apple doing that for like $80 an hour

Fuck that

sf here.the shit on the streets is true, but its mostly near downtown and the northerneast side. There are plenty of nice neighborhoods. good luck getting a place though with these scam prices. I am literally getting gentrified on my very fucking block. this used to be a black neighborhood, my new neighbors for the past 5 years were all white.

>>13866827

everybody is on the gig economy

no benefits
no job security
no equity
no safety net

Im a Slave 2.0

San Fransisco will literally JUST you beyond repair of you aren't a faceless global billionaire

I grew up in the bay area and can never go back because I would be living on the streets if I ever tried to go back

Either pay 3000 a month to live on someones couch or commute 3 hours from a hot dry inland hellhole

It's not worth it

>>13866815
No I thought this vietnamese basket weaving old lady community would provide me with more accurate answers since listings usually are not the whole truth

move to tahoe and telecommute you dumbasses

>>13866784
N..no

>>13866636
SF Fag here, not it’s really not that bad. Stay out of the Tenderloin, SOMA, and you’re fine. The Richmond and Sunset are chill. Haight Ashbury is a shitty tourist trap full of streetkids who have rich parents. The marina is super douche, Japantown is chill. Surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world like Monterrey and the Sierra mountains. Ski, snowboard, surf, whatever you want to do. It’s expensive for sure but it’s not what people on this board want you to think it is

Holy fuck, I always thought it was a meme until I looked it up. Top kek.
I'm originally from the suburbs of Los Angeles. At least we don't have it this dirty lmao

>>13866333
Checked

Why would you want to live in commiefornia

>>13867158
It is that bad. I grew up in the sco and moved back after taking a one year contract with a tech company in SOMA. The homeless and shitting streets are not just a meme. It was around 20 years ago but it’s on a whole different level now. 6 months in and I cannot wait to get the fuck out and never come back again.

>>13866333
San Francisco is a disgusting shithole full of faggots, feminists, trannies, niggers, drug addicts, bums, and söyboys. It also has some of the absolute worst weather of the entire United States. There isn't a single redeeming thing about it.

>>13866333
cold as fuck, foggy every afternoon, move to berkeley and take the bart in. still, both cities are total shitholes but can be romantic and have good restauranta. still sucks balls and if you take the wrong freewayexit at night you will get nogged

>>13867424
>some of the absolute worst weather of the entire United States

Kek speking as a Scot, I wasscrolling through the thread remembering how nice it was to walk through SF in the comfy rain. It was nice and quiet, then we got in a car and blasted down that Pacific coast road. It was alright.

San Francisco is a meme. Most of the jobs are actually 30 miles south.

>>13867424
THE WEATHER

>>13866652
cuz California

full house

It is one of those places like NYC that relies on young people too dumb to do the CoL math who move there for a couple of years until they realize that even though they make $200k/yr at some shitty app startup they will never really make it like their independently wealthy trust fund friends make it so they leave with what little honor they have left.

>>13866879
good

>>13866939
where did you relocate to?

t.also from the bay

>>13867499
> the bart
found "the" tourist

>>13866333

You do know there is the working homeless there right?

>>13867219
>At least we don't have it this dirty lmao

You obviously never been to skid row. Nice try, anon.

>>13866652
>as long as it's on private land?
The city street isn’t private land

>>13867714
You're thinking of San Diego

>>13866333
>Not wanting to live in the same city as Sergey
That place is going to be the new mecca

>>13866333
>would it be worth it?
hell no

>>13866333
> would it be worth it?
what do you think of the culture? i worked in SF for 9 years before giving up on the bay area. hated that city so much. never lived there, was much happier commuting from oakland or el cerrito.

> Is it true that a 1 room cost 3-4k per month?
yes

> is it really THAT bad?
yes. SF has been subsidizing big players' offices in shitty areas (see: twitter) but not spending any money on all the people they're displacing. homelessness in SF is out of control.

>>13866747
dunno about that. i only saw actual turds on the street a few times.

>>13866816
900? with roommates and you moved in 5+ years ago i'm assuming? even oakland is getting crazy unless you're living in ghost town or something.

>>13867956
this is just not true. i worked there and saved a ton of money which i used to pay off my student loans and buy my own place in LA. if you want to work hard and save money it's very easy to do in the bay area, you'll just never have enough money to buy a place of your own.

>>13868116
tenderloin and skid row are about the same, except you're less likely to be killed in the tenderloin just because of how crowded it is. and if you're a woman you're gonna get harassed / chased every week.

>needles
>street shitters
>cucksheds
>fags

even detroit would've been a better choice op

>>13868323
>oPnO

das right

Fuck off were full

I visited 5-6 years ago and went to a nice restaurant and someone took a shit in the urinal. Shit freaked me out. Also I'm liberal leaning- not a trump supporter.

>>13867424
the water/architecture/landscape is pretty beautiful desu

>>13866333
DO NOT BUY PROPERTY IN CALIFORNIA.

The bubble is bursting as we speak, and you WILL be left holding the bag.

>>13866879
Based whites taking back our cities

>>13868323
Detroit would unironically be a better choice. The property costs nothing.

>Move to California
>Get loan for $3,000,000 and buy piece of shit house with junkies living on your sidewalk.
>Housing market crashes and your house is suddenly worth >$1,000,000

>>13866879
>Lives in decent neighborhood in California

Yeah, how much are you paying? $2,000,000 minimum?

>>13868321
>900? with roommates and you moved in 5+ years ago i'm assuming? even oakland is getting crazy unless you're living in ghost town or something.

Probably longer than that. I lived in a penthouse in North Oakland for 1700 back in 2011.

>>13866652
zoning laws. you cant sleep in your car even on your land if it doesnt have sewer, etc

>>13866652
Oh say can you see

>>13866796
Retarded shitlib zoomer, it is a matter of public record.

The faces of san fran

>>13867424
> There isn't a single redeeming thing about it
The wages are really high and the landscape is great. Also, the city really isn't that bad if you live in a decent area. But yes, if you are minimum wagecucking then there are much better options than SF.

>>13866816
>Has 6 room mates that are 40 year old grown men

>>13866333
If a good house costs 300k in a reasonable place and you make 60k, then wherever a good house costs 1.8m you must be making 360k, otherwise you've lost purchasing power (not even taking into account that all those new dollars are at a much higher tax rate). It is never financially worth it to live in a city for any wagie. Only for elites and business owners.

Lived in the Bay Area for almost 3 years (Sunnyvale) doing the tech bro thing. SF was the nastiest city I've ever experienced. Would go up there on weekends/evenings some days and always regretted it - dirty, unsafe, and crowded.

Finally realized there's more to life than making money and got the fuck out of there. Everyone is obsessed with career there and that's all they ever want to talk about. Been way happier ever since leaving, and many of my friends got out too.

>>13871807
>what is renting

>>13872971
a waste of money
cheggum

>>13868323
>>13868918
Isn't there some money flowing into the Detroit downtown to regenerate it and attract tech companies? Remember seeing something about that a couple of years ago.

Someone earning 360k a year and renting can buy a 300k house in 2 years. How long is it going to take the guy earning 60k a year to pay off the mortgage?

>>13868928
>decent neighborhood
lol like i said, it used to be a black neighborhood. my parents bought the house 7 years ago for like 600k. its still under 2 mil. neighborhood is improving but not great yet.
