San Francisco, California

The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the fourteenth-most populous in the United States, with a 2010 population of 805,235. It is located on the tip of the San Francisco Peninsula and is the focal point of the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco is the second most densely populated major city in the United States.

In 1776, the Spanish settled the tip of the San Francisco peninsula, establishing a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi. As a result of the California Gold Rush in 1848, the city entered a period of rapid growth. After being devastated by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt.

San Francisco, California, Bradlake wrote 2 years ago:

San Francisco is... not good. Don't ever live here. (Please note: This is just my Opinion) Now don't get me wrong. There are some nice things about San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge, The Bay Bridge, the Downtown Skyscrapers, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, the Fog and cool temperatures, along with the coast and harbors, and other great places. Plus, they have Oracle Park! Go Giants! However, San Francisco is a hyper-liberal (and possibly dystopian) city that is rampant with homelessness, crime, laughably terrible laws, and many of the people are so hypocritical (no offense to the people here. San Francisco still has many great people!). Not to mention, everything is extremely overpriced. Overall, the City is not good, which is unfortunate, because back in the day, it used to be a great city, but on a positive note, it still has its pros. To me, it's a good place to visit, but not so much to live.
