I visited SV/SF recently for the first time. First impression of the city was how much it reminded of NYC in 80s in parts (read: not good). But I then spent the day just walking the city and finally visited Pacific Heights and dman it, I wish I was a zillionaire so I could live there. Just simply beautiful & immaculate.

As always, everything boils down to money. Rich SF is sublime. The rest, meh. Also, I only ran into ~crazed homeless in Mountain View (on Castro).
