Sausalito has a nice neighborhood of houseboats and you can take the ferry into downtown SF. Very nice commute.

Glen Park if he has a family and doesn't want to commute
Glen Park also has a BART stop which puts you in downtown SF in minutes.

Sounds like he’s out of the closet.

What's harder than rollerblading?
Telling your parents you're gay.

Find a tall building with a door man. They got homeless problems.
And tell him to enjoy himself.

Going to be a bunch of baws in here living in Denham Springs who tell you SF is the worst place on the planet. The city is far from perfect but it's a great place to live if you're young and can afford it.
Downtown/SoMa should be avoided. Is he actually commuting to the office? Seems like WFH policies have basically emptied out that part of the city. If he can afford it, he should live in the city. BART/Cal Train are easy to use, but I'm not sure why you'd want to live in a suburb unless he already has a family.
Marina/Pac Heights are where most of the young crowds are. Getting from there to the office may be a bit more challenging though. I'd recommend anything near Divis as it would be easy to commute to the office and still have access to most of the city. Easy bus routes to SoMa and FiDi as well. Most people under 30 have roommates, but there's still good spots to find on a single-person budget. I have heard the rental market has gone nuts again though. Should be pretty explanatory, but avoid anything near the Tenderloin. Adjacent areas like Nob Hill etc aren't much better. If the rent seems to good to be true, it's probably because it's near those hot spots.

He should call or e-mail his hiring manager and say "can you put me in touch with people with roles that are similar to mine so that I can pick their brains about good neighborhoods?"
He should not rely on neighborhood recommendations his father receives from a Louisiana-based message board.

He should reach out to their HR department or some people that he will be working with and ask if they have any suggestions.

There are some really nice areas but often are pricey
Posted on 8/1/22 at 3:35 pm to Meauxjeaux
If he can afford it, Russian Hill or Japantown (with Koreatown a close third).
Everywhere else is exhausting.

I lived there for a decade and travel there for work frequently.

Good call since you can only get access to Tigerdroppings if you have only ever lived in Louisiana. How could anyone around here have ever lived anywhere else? Does the internet even go all the way from California to Baton Rouge?
Your first sentence was good advice though.

I prefer the area around Ocean Beach, closest to Land’s End park. Ride the bus to work.
If you have to live in San Fran and cant afford Pacific heights then I 2nd this. A lot of stuff to do in this area.
If he doesn't mind commuting Walnut Creek is the nicest suburb.

I lived in alameda for a decade, he should look into it. An island in the bay between Oakland and San Francisco, very walkable, great neighborhood. They have ferries that can take you into the city, plus a bunch of the tech companies have free buses that go into work
