re: San Francisco is dirtier than New Orleans.

If there was a way to short real estate in a specific city, a short on San Fran real estate would be an interesting look. What I've read about the bubble in SF in the last two years is insane.

There are some parts of the Bay Area that will go pound for pound with any ghetto in the US - most of them are in the East Bay, though. I've always enjoyed San Francisco.
The homeless there are numerous and crazy aggressive, though.

Years ago young and poor Emperor stayed in Hayward during a road trip. Went to throw something in the hotel's dumpster and found a homeless dude sleeping in it. Around midnight he hurled the lid open and screamed for hours. This is my enduring memory of the Hayward/Oakland/Fremont area.

A girl I went to law school with (1994) was given a home in SF as a graduation gift from her grandparents.
She has never worked a real job, draws off equity every year. No idea of the location or size but that's some serious appreciation.

Crime, poverty, gangs and unemployment have long plagued the city, and transformation, so far as I can see, remains elusive to say the least.
I will wholeheartedly agree with you in regards to crime, however, poverty is becoming far more elusive. Property values in Oakland and the gentrification of areas like West Oakland speak volumes about the impact of wealth on the city. Furthermore, with Google purchasing multiple buildings downtown, Pandora headquarters here, and the plethora of additional tech moving in, I think we are on our way to becoming as devoid of culture as SF. That is not even mentioning the investment of the Chinese on real estate. Oakland is changing and maybe not for the better.

It's not often you meet a person with your passion for the city of Oakland.
Here's to you–
Whereabouts do you live in the city? I have one friend currently living in Orinda and another in San Leandro. I plan to visit them this fall; I'll look for some of the signs of rejuvenation you mentioned.[

I work at the county hospital in Oakland....I see the good and bad of the place. Orinda is super nice. Most homes start at 1 million there. It is beautiful, lush and green. San Leandro is a little less affluent (homes start at $500K) but still has some nice pockets with diverse food options and character. I live in Alameda...its a middle class island and lacks a lot of the diversity of Oakland but has better schools. Check out the Gourmet Ghetto oakland/temescal/emeryville/berkeley corridor if you are into the food scene.

Besides driving over the golden gate bridge and laughing at queers what else is there to do in San Francisco?
Posted on 5/24/15 at 10:44 pm to steeltiger17
San Fran has too many homeless people, it's ridiculous

that has to be the graffiti capital of the U.S., it's everywhere and although I'm not into that, there's some talent up there
Good point! I remember thinking to myself: "how the hell did they paint graffiti on that bridge in that spot? Do the authorities allow them to erect scaffolding? Where the hell do they get the money to just waste $50 of paint on some shite no understands except for their "crew?" Anyway, you're right, they are talented. But, their artistic talent pales in comparison to their ability of reaching/accessing their canvas.

I know. My friend built his house there in 1995 and I see him there maybe once a year. His place is worth 2 or 3 mil I guess. Coincidentally, he's an ortho surgeon with a practice in Oakland.
Well, you're certainly more in the know about the East Bay than I am. FWIW, when I lived in SF, I never developed the attitude San Franciscans have about the city across the bay. It always seemed picayune (hello there, New Orleans) to me.

I imagine the upvotes for the OP are all NOLAites beating their chests.
Ask, the posters that live out in the bay area who've lived in Louisiana which is better (or vice versa)
