I would get one of these for living in SF. It would make lots of otherwise unwalkable neighborhoods perfectly accessible while only using it to go uphill.

Alternatively just walk those neighborhoods and they won't feel unwalkable very shortly! My 89 year old grandmother used to walk from her house in Japantown to Chrissy Field and back, regularly--your legs get used to it and suddenly the city feels a lot more accessible.

If you're lucky enough to have good legs, yes. Many people get chronic tendonitis after they move to hilly area of SF.
