I've done San Francisco down to Big Sur a few times. Really enjoyed Santa Cruz. I worked briefly in Redwood Shores on a project at Oracle HQ, and we'd have lived there if my wife hadn't of got pregnant whilst we were waiting for visas to come through (we decided not to go). That was 28 years ago now though, and I'm not sure I'd want to live there now.
I have to say reading this thread on and off today has been disheartening. Far too much arguing and point scoring, not enough respectful debate. When it descends into the sort of abusive nonsense and tit for tat we have seen today I tend to think this little old place loses its appeal. It is at its best when folk are sharing opinions and ideas in a respectful way, even when having wildly different opinion. I hope this isnt an indicator of the way the board will go.
Aye San Fran has gone completely to the dogs mate, property prices absolutely destroyed the place. It’s as bad as anywhere now, far worse than LA which at least has some areas that are ‘affordable’. Massive no go areas and wild crime rates now. Stunning place mind.
