San Francisco

A city in Northern California that's similar in some ways to Portland and Seattle. Hated and feared by certain people across America (particularly the likes of Bill O'Reilly and other right wing political commentators) perhaps for it's liberal-minded and tolerant ways, it is a truly unique city and one which I sorely miss.

PROS:
- Very friendly, open-minded people. Probably the nicest people you'll ever meet, most of whom are left wing democrats.
- Diverse in terms of race, cultures, subcultures, ect. (With tolerance comes diversity).
- The bay area is a fun place to visit if you enjoy sailing. Lots of bridges, islands, and cute little towns to stop by while you're out and about on your boat.
- Great weather and great scenery. Lots of beautiful old buildings and houses.
- Has a hippie and beatnik background, and is still enriched today by several interesting and unique, or sometimes just down right absurd subcultures! :)

CONS:
- Abundant homeless population.
- As with any modern day city, some areas can be a bit scummy.
- Very expensive.
- Some people like to use the word 'hella'.
- Michael Savage.

I left my heart in San Francisco.
