SF - Final Thoughts

Things I like about San Francisco:

  • Every person we encountered was friendly and polite
  • Service is fast and professional
  • Good food
  • Beautiful geographic setting with mountains, bay, bridges, eucolyptus trees
  • Activity and liveliness of City
  • Flourishing creativity
  • Architecture of the homes in the City

Things I did NOT like about San Francisco:

  • Traffic
  • Number of people that are homeless, and/or mentally ill
  • Urban sprawl and its destruction of the environment surrounding the City
  • Housing prices
  • Golden Gate Bridge Toll, lack of signage for it, $25 fine for not having cash to pay it, inability to pay by credit card, and lack of ATM in the Toll Office at foot of southward side of bridge
  • CD prices
  • Name of transport at SFO airport: "AirTran"

Things that surprised me:

  • Friendliness and helpfullness of people
  • Huge number of Asian and Latin people there, as well as the huge number of tourists from other countries
  • Seemingly small number of African-American people there
  • Number of homeless people
