I live in downtown SF: streets are filthy, homeless situation is worse than ever before, everything that I would want to do outside is closed, there’s no reason to live “close to work” anymore, I only go outside for groceries and laundry. I’m moving to LA in 3 weeks.
SF is more dense than LA, and the Bay Area as a whole is comparable to the LA area in terms of population. Fun fact, the most populous city in the Bay Area (and NoCal) is actually San Jose, not SF.
Really similar situation and just signed a lease in Sacramento. I’m so over San Francisco and its filth. Can’t wait to leave. I’m a Bernie voter, but London Breed and Chesa Boudin and their ilk are destroying this city.
