Really nice. I'm an old lady, Bay Area native. I lived in San Francisco almost 20 years. Couldn't live there now. My old apartment is almost $3,000 a month. Back then as a young single woman with a decent job I had no problem affording my apartment. Lots of things, people and characters that made San Francisco different can no longer afford to be there. It's losing its diversity. Soon it'll be a city of two types of people, the rich and the homeless people they step over in the streets.
I'm 48 lived in Brighton England all my life & it's the same here & many, many other towns & cities. 1994 we had a luxury 3 bed flat for £660pcm. I now pay £750 for a small one Bed, and that's a good price for the area.
I live 30 miles away from SF. Use to go to Union Square in the 90's. It is not the same at all.. It has lost that SF Christmas Spirit.. The stores dont decorate the windows with any spirit or heart like they use to.. The air is always full on POT smoke & smell... Law & order is dead and the police look like bums. Los Angeles PD look sharp but SF Police has no pride in their uniforms or police cars.. Dirty and paint chipping off them...
True, but it surprised the heck out of me when I saw one homeless person camp outside every store at closing time. I'm from L.A. and I thought I've seen it all.
I completely agree, and I've never lived here. Just got a job offer and wondering what to do, if I should accept it with so much change going on. You video made me smile. And frown. And smile again. It's humanity. San Francisco is a very accurate representation of humanity.
The cool people visit regularly. The best cool people live in Marin or Monterey Oregon . People a stay months or a year then get tired of sf pace then visit regularly. My friend came met me in Golden gate one day it was beautiful I had freinds and family everything worked. Smiles instead of frowns for crazy or drug addicts and dealers and respect for the homeless give them resistance you get resistance. Best just Respet homeless and crazy drug addicts or LGBT or all races and religions. If you wanna have great acceptance. The homeless was never a problem to me I taught the mother of my son who was born in SF area to reverse the feelings people have for the down and out homeless addicts or lady's of the night shemales transvestites .crack or smack smokeing smile smile smile for all races and religions to the LGBT. Acceptance. That kept my woman safe and secure.
I grew up in the city, and it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s full of rich techie assholes now. Ed Lee fucked it up for everyone. It used to be a vibrant beacon of culture and history. Now it’s just history. The remnants are squeaking by, and those that haven’t been displaced by gentrification, have too have multiple jobs to even pay rent. Growing up, I loved how it was everything, gritty nasty and dangerous, but also beautiful, tasteful and diverse. I still have family and friends there, but every time I come back, it seems less and less like home. I love in Portland Oregon now, and although it is going through it’s own changes, it still has a soul and that’s what I miss about home. The thing it lost many years ago.
Well, leave your car windows / doors open is way better than locked yr vehicle, especially out of state plate car.....broken window that what I see atleast 5 per day in Mission district !
Tim L Yeah when I went there in August there was this extremely cracked woman saying “ I’M NOT FROM NEW YORK” really really loudly, it was both disgusting and enriching at the same time.
The ending = dedication. He said his phrase and then did it literally. After he showed two naked men on the street, I wasn't sure which way the ending was going LMBO
This video was VERY CUTE, and it's the kind of video created by someone in the HONEYMOON PHASE of their time in a city. Which is not a bad thing, but visually it looks like a new love. You seem so optimistic and everything's still so magical to you. It's ephemeral. Cherish that, glad you documented this feeling.
Yeop, my honeymoon phase living the DC metro area ended 2 years after I moved here. Now, all I want to do is get the farthest commutable distance from it, even if that means a 2.5 hour commute.
I lasted weeks there back in 1991. I knew it was not for me as well as being over-hyped. Prior to that I had lasted only 3 months in LA. And just earlier, I managed three years in NYC as it was going to hell in a handbag (late 80's). I think that speaks volumes about SF and Cali in general.
I love the comments hating on this. Everyone gets soooo mad when someone talks crap about SF hahaha. I've been here for six years, and this city is the definition of a love-hate relationship. Good job Tom!
Talking from a natives point of view, I can't enjoy my experience while there are people who are literally shooting up in broad daylight and not getting the help they need. No matter how out of my routine I get, it doesn't cover the ever growing guilt and empathy I have for these people who live in the streets of the tenderloin or under the freeway. San Francisco is the people, and if there is a giant percentage of the people that is suffering... then San Francisco is suffering.
Thats cute too, as a 5th generation san franciscan I can say with confidence, WHO CARES? We don't care about dopefiends, but what we do care about is that there's fiends of all shapes sizes and colors here. We're good with everyone.
Yeah, you can only live good and free there if you have money and the one's that love it there, have money. Just step over the turds on the sidewalks and find your best restaurant.
I'm a native born and raised. My Great Grandparents and their offspring survived the Earthquake in 1906. My mom was born in the City, my Dad went to West Portal Elementary, Marina Middle School, and Galileo High. My kids are 5th generation Bay Area babies. Having said that, my opinion is that this pretty accurate in a general sense. Tom has the right attitude, and if you wanna snivel and complain that's cool. Just back it up with some action. Either leave and go back to your place of origin, or get on board with making things better. Have a lovely day!
I left my Union & Fillmore 31 years ago for Switzerland. I do not feel like a newcomer, all good, and I speak Swiss German and love the French and Italian speaking regions too. Before SF, I lived in NJ, ID, PE, WV, ME, CO, OR, CO AGAIN, WA, then CA.
@Perla Lopez Gomez Switzerland has a good mix of people. Black friend from Toronto here and she has never had any racist problems. I met a Swiss girl during my ballet time in SF and followered her back to Zurich. 6 kids born here, all adults now and all is fine.
I have lived in the city by the bay since the late 70s and have never, ever regretted a day... even after the big quake of 89. So many amazing people from different cultures, religions and sexual orientations all living side by side. Even though the city has drastically changed over the decades, every once in a while I can look around a corner and see something or someone that takes me right back to 1978 and my first day in this amazing city. And when the rest of the country is sweltering in 100 plus degree weather with ridiculous humidity, I only have to take in the sweet, cold afternoon fog against my face to know I am home.
This balanced look at the city is exactly what I was looking for. I love that you highlighted both the good and bad for a real look at what to expect. Looks like an amazing place overall.
All of you haters who seems to "know" San Francisco better than someone else because you have lived here longer don't understand our great city in the least. The beauty of this unique place is that we welcome people from all over the world to come here and experience it anyway you so choose without JUDGEMENT. I fell in love with SF when I first came to visit back in 1982 and moved here is '87. Back then I was welcomed by all with open arms by all as a newcomer and that was one of the reasons I thought this place was so special. We live in the United States of American meaning we are united, we support each other and each other's right to live where they want freely and hopefully with love and understanding. This guy has been here one year and he gets it. He's full of joy and love for our city. My only thought would be he needs to head over to Tony's Pizza for an amazing slice or two.
And uses the first person plural “we”. Lol. I couldn’t help but laugh. I’d like to see this video for someone who’s actually knows the city and can touch on what makes it special.
Frank Taylor I know a few things that make it special because my grandparents raised my father and my aunts there, and I lived three cities away on Highway one. What makes San Francisco unique and special is that the bay was actually dug out so that they could move the dirt around and make the city bigger, the streets are super small because the town was created before modern trucks and SUVs all got super sized, it’s a very old-school beautiful city, and a lot of the restaurants are some of the best in the world! Well used to be, it used to be one of the hardest places to open a restaurant and succeed. Idk if it’s like that anymore with the overload of people like this guy in the video who prefer gentrified hipster hangouts. If you simply Google the history of San Francisco its a fun read! As well as the redwood forests near by. The city has been through a lot, before the fire and after the fire. They even rebuilt a lot of the city streets because of the influx of people trying to live there. And the fact that the city is so old it kind a needs a remodel. But it’s also a very small city, If you look at a map of the city it’s literally a square Daly city, the city next-door, was literally just a place for people to live for people who worked in the city. That’s all I know though, I know that hippie Hill is a great place to go and hang out what do you want to get away from the world, but I don’t know if it’s as special as it used to be. I haven’t been in a few years because I can’t afford rent where I was born and raised because it’s so cool to live in San Francisco. I dreamed as a kid about living there and exploring the city because it was so beautiful to me, but now I can’t even live my dream of living somewhere where my grandparents lived in my father lived. Thanks who ever the fuck made SF a desirable place to live. It definitely has a bunch of really well put together companies and unions compared to most other places as well because the city and the people who live there take a lot of pride in their work and their lives etc.
a friend of mine and i recently ventured out there. i feel as though i got to experience a lifetime here in just two days. its everything as you've described, just so much more intense when you're right in the middle of it. its as raw as people can get i feel. i now understand the meaning behind the phrase "i left my heart in San Francisco". because thats how i truly feel. this place is magic. whether good or bad idk but def otherworldly
True, but also not gentrified in many parts (Mission, Chavez, Fillmore, Western Addition, etc). Yet another contradiction tbh. Thanks very much for watching
I lived in SF in the 1990s , admittedly as something of an outlaw . Nobody's ever thought of it as cheap , but it WAS compared to now . I would move back if I had a private income and could just hang out , but as a worker it's a dead loss . You'll work long hours six days a week , pay a shitload of tax , and barely get to enjoy the good things
San Francisco is an example of the effects of predatory capitalism and the decline of the American Empire. If you don't own a home already in SF, for the most part you can't afford to live there unless your apartment is rent-controlled. SF does have a great selection of restaurants. I have a friend with benefits who introduces me to a different restaurant every week.
East Bay native, SF resident for 6 years. This idea that SF is a utopia is only peddled by the Star Trek movies and right wing media outlets who need a talking point to fill their show. No one in my 30 years has ever said SF was a paradise. These pundit shows just need a way to justify why the tech moved here, a high tax state and area, and not the flat, boring no-tax Midwest thay they say is better for business. San Francisco is like every other city, it's just much smaller and easier to wander into the ones tourists would usually avoid. SF was a city started by the miners and free thinkers looking for a new start away from the staunchy east coast. We are descendants of the people who moved away to start new or be themselves. You can be as weird as you want in SF as long as your version of weird doesn't hurt anyone or stop them from being their own version of weird.
How can you produce a video of this caliber and not have at least 100k subscribers?? This is the best video I have seen on youtube, the amount of effort you put into this video is evident. Subscribed!
Hundreds of restaurants have closed permanently; Zoom and work-from-home have destroyed the commercial real estate market and is now affecting the residential market; the arts are suffering, etc. It's a beautiful city but decades of mismanagement have weakened the city's ability to deal with the homeless and other problems. One year later, the San Francisco described in this video no longer exists.
I use to commute for work last year for over a year via Bart to SF. It’s a dump hole. Expensive cost of living, some of the worst traffic, no parking unless you are up to paying $35-50 for a spot in a structure. Homeless everywhere. So many times walking through areas with restaurants with mounds of trash and un eaten food on the curbs/streets due to over flowing trash containers. If your lucky Enough you might even walk past a junky shooting up or even the needles they leave behind in the middle of the side walks.
I used to live in SF twenty years ago - I’m back in my homeland of England now, but this just made me want to be back in SF. I miss that place so damned much! Thanks for the awesome video and trip down memory lane my man 🤟🏻
I am from Zagubica, Serbia, but one of my biggest dream is to visit San Francisco, it look like most beautiful city in a whole world. Sorry for bad english. You get subscribe from me, make sure to post more videos in the future. 😄
SF native born and raised. This city has too many major problems now. Most of the people aren't even from there anymore. The culture is being stripped away and the city is becoming mostly tech based with no balance for other career fields. Foreign rich Chinese people buying up property for investments while people struggle to find housing. Minimum wage lost its purpose as it doesn't even pay enough to provide basic needs anymore compared to other cities. SF will always be my home, but it's ruined.
I live in San Francisco. It is the best city in the world. After I traveled so many places in the word: Asia, Europe, South Pacific, South American... San Francisco is always the Best!!
To be honest I loved San Francisco and I already miss it too much! I stayed for only one month at a hostel and I'm still editing the episodes about it... Also, I really like the storytelling you use in this one! Congrats it's awesome!
I used to live there...and it is a place where you are free...you can walk down the streets and no one will look at you...you can be completely wasted and people won't bat an eye. It is expensive with a very high level of income disparity...and it can be dangerous as well...but it remains perhaps the most magnificent city on the planet.
What are people mad about? It being too exclusive for you to live in? The homeless people? For me it's the fact that in 1999, you could go to a park in downtown SF and it felt safe. The city was a truly romantic place, on-par with other beautiful cities like Paris and Rome. When I go there now, it's blue and gloomy. The same parks I used to dwell in are now dirty and unsafe, with people passed-out on the ground. There are still spots in SF where you'll get that old-school vibe: the beaches, sunset, presidio, and maybe one or two other areas. However, it's mostly a scary and dangerous city now. I literally find more solace in Tri Valley and the Central Valley now than I do in SF. I WANT to love the city like I once did, but sadly it's not the same. I visit periodically to see if things have changed for the better, but honestly, it has not. The last time I ever remember the city being good was in 2013 - it changed significantly henceforth.
Gross. SF is gross now. You'll get harassed by panhandlers, pee everywhere, BART sucks, tons of car break ins ..it used to be great. It became horrible over the past 10-15 years.
Being from the South Bay, and even thought San Francisco is like an hour away, it ALWAYS feels like and adventure to me. New districts to explore, new facets of cultures to experience, interesting people to meet. I never get sicking of visiting this city.
I don't generally don't comment on random videos but l really loved your point of view. It's all about embracing and living to the fullest. Thank you for uploading such encouraging video. Sorry, my English is bad. Huge thumps up from India.
Hey Tom, I decided to watch your video thinking "I am sure I will not like this", but you surprised me. I don't like the music choice (I like the song so much more in its original - but that's personal choice) but I did like your attitude that you're making the city your own. You surely love the city as I do. I live here for three years now. And you made the point clear that everybody has to go outside of his comfort zone, which is so true. Especially when you move here from Europe. Don't worry about all the criticsm that you receive. This city is for everyone and everyone discovers it their own way. My way is more activism and "summer of love" attitude and the city's big power of healing (like in the old times) but I totally respect that people see and love different things in it. I am German tour guide in the city and people tell me all the time what I need to see in the city or how I should react to certain things. But we all have our own lifes and our own decisions. So I had fun watching your video. Big hug from Nopa.
*I don't have a pithy quote about San Francisco, but I lived there for thirty-five years and consider it my "true" home. I move from Memphis to SF after college in 1976 and was practically forced out in 2010 after retirement. For the first five years I lived solidly in the Tenderloin, the last thirty years I lived on the perimeter of the TL, in the Civic Center. I remember the days before the AIDS hoax, and when Blacks were a solid 12%. I remember sunning on Baker's Beach when I was 100 pounds lighter and forty years younger. It's the people of San Francisco that makes it the wonderful place that it is. It could be the old hippy 'summer of love vibe, that make the people of SF so giving. Or it could be the 'found' love that folks of the LGBT...community exudes. Or maybe Hetch-Hetchy is micro-dosing the folks with lithium or ecstasy. I found my old 400 square foot studio on Zillow. It has an estimated value of $1.2 million. If I had the money, I'd move back there yesterday.*
Thanks for making this video Tom. I used to live in SF on a $45k salary and it was my first job out of college from Ohio State. I wasn't sure what to expect. I got recruited to other roles in LA and NYC. I miss the Bay Area and loved that town. I'm currently interviewing at a couple of jobs to get back to the area and this is an insanely accurate description of the push/pull effect I felt of SF. You embrace it and make it your own, or you can choose to be dissatisfied. I'd love to connect if I end up getting a job and moving back to town! I'd at least love to learn more about your experiences and enjoy the city in the way that you do. Just subscribed!
Very nice video of my city. I moved here in 1986 from Santa Barbara. I had a bad split with my boyfriend and needed to get away, so found a couple in the Oakland Hills that needed a housesitter for a month. I was a Santa Barbarian, I was just visiting. A month later I had a full time job that paid twice what SB was giving and I relented. I have never looked back. I've lived in the same apt. for 31 years - know most people on my block - got rid of my car - and absolutely love the diversity - which is a far cry from where I started out - a farm in Ohio. lol
MY 13 YEARS IN SF: At age 33 I’ve walked and experienced this entire city inside and out many times. I only stay at this point because even though it’s expensive, with a place that has money flowing into it comes with the latest cutting edge tech, restaurants, connections, businesses while always having great weather year around (including fog). I’ve never considered this place to be part of California. It feels like it’s own location separate from the world. And the biggest perk is all the amazing places that are a short drive outside this city. Muir Woods, Half Moon Bay, go further and you have Yosemite, Monterey Bay. I love that we have the bay on one side and the ocean on the other side. Take a Ferry boat and you’re in Sausalito. ‘Bar Bocce’ restaurant over there has the best prosciutto chicken pizza! Yes predominantly this city is white men, and lot of people stay for a short while, but with 13 years of living all over this city from the TL, Glen Park, upper Fillmore, Dogpatch, SOMA, Twin Peaks, now The East Cut (where Salesforce tower is located) my greatest take away from living here is that the homeless need more attention / help with getting housing (navigation centers are happening luckily), low income residents need more affordable housing / activities in SF, less sea salt and GMO free food options that make all the meals around $17 to lower the price tags on the menus at overpriced pretentious restaurants would be swell. Man that is annoying. If pet owners could stop having their dogs piss on the plants that are now dead that would be nice. If Uber and Lyft could kindly hire drivers that actually know how to drive in SF that would be splendid. The bright side is this beautiful city at its roots will always be here for the ones who were here long before the tech boom. The ones who moved here because of its beauty and opportunity, but not because of its paycheck. We pride ourselves for having small businesses which is slowly getting washed away. Luckily Philz Coffee, Trader Joe’s are here but even deeper Crossroads, Sightglass, Super Duper exist. San Francisco is a piece of heaven, flaws and all. It doesn’t care if you’re here, but it’s here if you want to experience it.
My sister and I say you're not really a California Bay Area person until you've been here for 5+ years....maybe 10 to actually have lived in the city and experience everything there. If you still have to ask how to get around town without a map, you're still a newbie .
When you’ve been in a place like sf for only a year you’re hardly an expert on the city. and no, that’s not ‘gatekeeping’. You have a very different experience when you know a place as home and when you’re just arrived (and likely to leave )
I went in 2022 on a solo trip through SF and came home with a clipper card with some bucks on it. And it looks that I will do that again by the end of the year. Despite "everything is so damn expensive"... I am German, visited SF for the first time 30 years ago. So many things changed over the years, but I am still in love with this city as a tourist.
If it wasn’t for Oakland I’d left the Bay Area a long time ago. SF is wack, no diversity, overpriced everything and people in general do not seem happy.
If you ain't got yo shit together FRISCO ain't for you..... people had decades to get get there shit straight but decided to waste time.... And spend their money on stupid stuff besides property.... I love FRISCO I'm just setting foundation for my kids... I've been here since 1983 (40 years young next year Lord willing) I ain't going nowhere.. I'm just getting started.... 41$......
Great narration, it has an Anthony Bourdain feel to it. Maybe your next videos can go deeper into each of the neighborhoods. Let me know if you’re in China town I can show you around and get a Chinese Mai Thai
Why not go to Golden Boy for Pizza? Real Franciscans would do that! One thing you have right is the love vs. hate, the high vs. lows, the disparity vs prosperity...and the traffic. The traffic sucks! Also, Peet's sucks...go to Snowbird!
I just got back from a long birthday weekend in San Francisco and did NOT want to have to go back to New Mexico! I'm determined to move to the Bay Area where I belong. I lived in Los Angeles for 22 years and miss CA. But, I much prefer the Bay Area over Los Angeles. I felt alive in San Francisco this past weekend! I rot in NM.
It would be fun if you did a video on the different neighborhoods. Noticed you were driving through the marina, that would be a fun one to start with lol 😅🤪🙃
I really enjoy the way this video was constructed. You really know how to summarize information in cool ways, with visual cues, symbolism, music, quotes, etc. I'd love it if someone could do this for my city
Great and factual video of my home city - thanked you by leaving a thumb up rating for you, handsome one. Ideal editing job, you must be using a great editor app. Take care and be SAFE in the city, always. Just a San Franciscan native transgender elder pioneer named Tamara
You guys gotta tell me where to find good pizza in SF
Pasquales on Irving in the Sunset. My family’s gone there for years.
Bravos on mission and Geneva
YOU GOTTA GET SOME GOLDEN BOY! it might not be "new york pizza" but its really good 👌🏻
Tom Dehnel ^agreed. Goldenboys is the best pizza in town.
Nizario’s on Geary
IDK why im watching this. I live in SF
yea me either lmao.
I_Dont_Know same
Lmao me too 😂
Same
How do you guys like it?
So in San Francisco you’re either rich or homeless.
the middle class is disappearing all across America
I’m middle class
Zezygurlyy thats not middle class
Nice Guy it is, why would u know how I live
Nice Guy it’s not only homeless or rich, we have huge middle class communities.
Really nice. I'm an old lady, Bay Area native. I lived in San Francisco almost 20 years. Couldn't live there now. My old apartment is almost $3,000 a month. Back then as a young single woman with a decent job I had no problem affording my apartment. Lots of things, people and characters that made San Francisco different can no longer afford to be there. It's losing its diversity. Soon it'll be a city of two types of people, the rich and the homeless people they step over in the streets.
You said it. I grew up in the Bay Area and remember what it was like 30-40 years ago. The city has become unlivable for regular people.
You had rent control. What happened?
they should move the homeless out if they can't afford to be there.
princess adora move em’ wherever they have family
I'm 48 lived in Brighton England all my life & it's the same here & many, many other towns & cities. 1994 we had a luxury 3 bed flat for £660pcm. I now pay £750 for a small one Bed, and that's a good price for the area.
Honestly...every major city in the world has both its good and bad aspects.
I live 30 miles away from SF. Use to go to Union Square in the 90's. It is not the same at all.. It has lost that SF Christmas Spirit.. The stores dont decorate the windows with any spirit or heart like they use to.. The air is always full on POT smoke & smell... Law & order is dead and the police look like bums. Los Angeles PD look sharp but SF Police has no pride in their uniforms or police cars.. Dirty and paint chipping off them...
@@todd9016 you understand those are all opinions right? And you are more than welcomed to your opinion yet doesnt make it fact... Have a great night!
Yes but the dichotomy here is visibly extreme. Still great city.
Todd ...stay 30 miles away and continue to enjoy Applebees.
True, but it surprised the heck out of me when I saw one homeless person camp outside every store at closing time. I'm from L.A. and I thought I've seen it all.
I’m sf born and raised and this made me happy because it’s the closest accurate representation I’ve seen of this city online
Love to hear that, thanks for watching
I completely agree, and I've never lived here. Just got a job offer and wondering what to do, if I should accept it with so much change going on. You video made me smile. And frown. And smile again. It's humanity. San Francisco is a very accurate representation of humanity.
its over, the cool people left long ago, its just for rich people now
The question is where did all the cool people go?
The cool people visit regularly. The best cool people live in Marin or Monterey Oregon . People a stay months or a year then get tired of sf pace then visit regularly. My friend came met me in Golden gate one day it was beautiful I had freinds and family everything worked. Smiles instead of frowns for crazy or drug addicts and dealers and respect for the homeless give them resistance you get resistance. Best just Respet homeless and crazy drug addicts or LGBT or all races and religions. If you wanna have great acceptance. The homeless was never a problem to me I taught the mother of my son who was born in SF area to reverse the feelings people have for the down and out homeless addicts or lady's of the night shemales transvestites .crack or smack smokeing smile smile smile for all races and religions to the LGBT. Acceptance. That kept my woman safe and secure.

I grew up in the city, and it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s full of rich techie assholes now. Ed Lee fucked it up for everyone. It used to be a vibrant beacon of culture and history. Now it’s just history. The remnants are squeaking by, and those that haven’t been displaced by gentrification, have too have multiple jobs to even pay rent. Growing up, I loved how it was everything, gritty nasty and dangerous, but also beautiful, tasteful and diverse. I still have family and friends there, but every time I come back, it seems less and less like home. I love in Portland Oregon now, and although it is going through it’s own changes, it still has a soul and that’s what I miss about home. The thing it lost many years ago.
Not exactly... But that can be true in some ways, just not in ALL ways.
I hope you didn't leave your car open when you ran away from it
Well, leave your car windows / doors open is way better than locked yr vehicle, especially out of state plate car.....broken window that what I see atleast 5 per day in Mission district !
Hope he DID .... so the criminals will JUST steal his stuff and NOT smash his windows .... 66 car break ins PER DAY , there !!!
He's around Marina Blvd by Crissy Fields I didn't see many homeless people there
Yes some homeless guy could poop in it
I wouldn't say hacker_fmt is the best..but he's got my cashapp Account funded..now I can pay my mortgage and bills
It's a decent place to visit as long as you can tolerate the homeless and drug addicts in front of every store.
Yea. There kicking the homeless into the sunset. They sleep in peoples' flowerbeds. Its really horrifying and disgusting.
Tim L Yeah when I went there in August there was this extremely cracked woman saying “ I’M NOT FROM NEW YORK” really really loudly, it was both disgusting and enriching at the same time.
@@Eaaaaaaa472 Never had that happen to me, and I've lived in SF for 14 years and was born in SF lmao.
IIomgitz_alecII That’s strange I was in SoMa and saw like three of them on the same street
@@Eaaaaaaa472 Oh can't relate
Living in a new city for just 1 year, isn't enough to get a revelation of the past, present and future of such a place.
Lake Ontario Sea Horse thank you I only lived in sf/Bay Area for 5 years and I still feel like I sort of knew the history of sf
Exactly.
I wouldn't say hacker_fmt is the best..but he's got my cashapp Account funded..now I can pay my mortgage and bills
SF wud be such a great city if it was affordable
The ending = dedication. He said his phrase and then did it literally.
After he showed two naked men on the street, I wasn't sure which way the ending was going LMBO
The part showing the sleeveless jackets and blue shirts. Accurate.
yesss it made me laugh so bad
David Shamiri lol
Real estate brokers
Yeah everyone should be or have a hoody sweat jacket? Or some kind of jacket when the sun goes down it gets chilly.
It's spot on.
This video was VERY CUTE, and it's the kind of video created by someone in the HONEYMOON PHASE of their time in a city. Which is not a bad thing, but visually it looks like a new love. You seem so optimistic and everything's still so magical to you. It's ephemeral. Cherish that, glad you documented this feeling.
You’re acting like it’s not accurate..
Yeop, my honeymoon phase living the DC metro area ended 2 years after I moved here. Now, all I want to do is get the farthest commutable distance from it, even if that means a 2.5 hour commute.
Cottage surrounded by trees and isolated is great.
@@Drumsticksmcgee This is every densly populated major US City. Coming in live from NYC. :-D
I lasted weeks there back in 1991. I knew it was not for me as well as being over-hyped. Prior to that I had lasted only 3 months in LA. And just earlier, I managed three years in NYC as it was going to hell in a handbag (late 80's). I think that speaks volumes about SF and Cali in general.
I love the comments hating on this. Everyone gets soooo mad when someone talks crap about SF hahaha. I've been here for six years, and this city is the definition of a love-hate relationship. Good job Tom!
Alex Rhone thanks to the transplant assholes sf sucks. This dimwit in this video here is one of such idiots
It smells like urine and every bathrooom is pissed from floor to Ceiling
Talking from a natives point of view, I can't enjoy my experience while there are people who are literally shooting up in broad daylight and not getting the help they need. No matter how out of my routine I get, it doesn't cover the ever growing guilt and empathy I have for these people who live in the streets of the tenderloin or under the freeway. San Francisco is the people, and if there is a giant percentage of the people that is suffering... then San Francisco is suffering.
Thats cute too, as a 5th generation san franciscan I can say with confidence, WHO CARES? We don't care about dopefiends, but what we do care about is that there's fiends of all shapes sizes and colors here. We're good with everyone.
Yeah, you can only live good and free there if you have money and the one's that love it there, have money. Just step over the turds on the sidewalks and find your best restaurant.
@@ThaSuckaFreeist I bet you would say that if you were a victim
Mark Twain never said that. Any true San Franciscan knows this.
Couldn't make it past the opening misquote. If you're going to screw up, don't make it the first or last thing you do.
After I saw that misquote in the beginning I turned it off as clearly this person knows nothing about San Francisco or how to use Google.
And the Golden Handcuff quote is Steinbeck, not Kipling... This did provoke me to find the Kipling quote about SF, which I didn't know about.
@@mateograndpa1760 Hey.......FUCK OFF.
did you guys replace the Saint Paul with mark twain?
what book is this
Died of hypothermia that night.
I'm a native born and raised. My Great Grandparents and their offspring survived the Earthquake in 1906. My mom was born in the City, my Dad went to West Portal Elementary, Marina Middle School, and Galileo High. My kids are 5th generation Bay Area babies. Having said that, my opinion is that this pretty accurate in a general sense. Tom has the right attitude, and if you wanna snivel and complain that's cool. Just back it up with some action. Either leave and go back to your place of origin, or get on board with making things better. Have a lovely day!

Sounds like you’re
Making the City Great!

It Truly is Magical as well as Crazy@times
Lived & ♥️ since 1974
So when trump says similar things so you ostracize him and call him a xenophobe?
You stupid fucking hypocrite.
Johnny Michael he kind of is xenophobic..
Go Lions!!
Johnny Michael Assuming this person doesn't like Trump and considers him a xenophobe.
I’ve been here 25 years and still feel like a newcomer discovering the good, the bad and the ugly about The City.
I left my Union & Fillmore 31 years ago for Switzerland. I do not feel like a newcomer, all good, and I speak Swiss German and love the French and Italian speaking regions too. Before SF, I lived in NJ, ID, PE, WV, ME, CO, OR, CO AGAIN, WA, then CA.
@Perla Lopez Gomez Switzerland has a good mix of people. Black friend from Toronto here and she has never had any racist problems. I met a Swiss girl during my ballet time in SF and followered her back to Zurich. 6 kids born here, all adults now and all is fine.
Not him saying “most of us just wanna fit in” and then showing a series of gentrifiers as if they get to make any demands...😭
You captured the city really well. Nice work!
I have lived in the city by the bay since the late 70s and have never, ever regretted a day... even after the big quake of 89. So many amazing people from different cultures, religions and sexual orientations all living side by side. Even though the city has drastically changed over the decades, every once in a while I can look around a corner and see something or someone that takes me right back to 1978 and my first day in this amazing city. And when the rest of the country is sweltering in 100 plus degree weather with ridiculous humidity, I only have to take in the sweet, cold afternoon fog against my face to know I am home.
This balanced look at the city is exactly what I was looking for. I love that you highlighted both the good and bad for a real look at what to expect. Looks like an amazing place overall.
All of you haters who seems to "know" San Francisco better than someone else because you have lived here longer don't understand our great city in the least. The beauty of this unique place is that we welcome people from all over the world to come here and experience it anyway you so choose without JUDGEMENT. I fell in love with SF when I first came to visit back in 1982 and moved here is '87. Back then I was welcomed by all with open arms by all as a newcomer and that was one of the reasons I thought this place was so special. We live in the United States of American meaning we are united, we support each other and each other's right to live where they want freely and hopefully with love and understanding. This guy has been here one year and he gets it. He's full of joy and love for our city. My only thought would be he needs to head over to Tony's Pizza for an amazing slice or two.
"We love our Peets". What... Everyone drinks Philz. I don't know if I've ever seen someone even drink peets in san francisco.
Lol what? Peets is definitely more popular in San Francisco than Philz. Philz is nice every once in a while, only techies can afford that daily.
Huh! Peet's IS the bay area! It started in Berkeley.
"Goes in water with out wetsuit, calls him self a local"
And uses the first person plural “we”. Lol. I couldn’t help but laugh. I’d like to see this video for someone who’s actually knows the city and can touch on what makes it special.
I wouldn't say hacker_fmt is the best..but he's got my cashapp Account funded..now I can pay my mortgage and bills
Frank Taylor I know a few things that make it special because my grandparents raised my father and my aunts there, and I lived three cities away on Highway one. What makes San Francisco unique and special is that the bay was actually dug out so that they could move the dirt around and make the city bigger, the streets are super small because the town was created before modern trucks and SUVs all got super sized, it’s a very old-school beautiful city, and a lot of the restaurants are some of the best in the world! Well used to be, it used to be one of the hardest places to open a restaurant and succeed. Idk if it’s like that anymore with the overload of people like this guy in the video who prefer gentrified hipster hangouts. If you simply Google the history of San Francisco its a fun read! As well as the redwood forests near by. The city has been through a lot, before the fire and after the fire. They even rebuilt a lot of the city streets because of the influx of people trying to live there. And the fact that the city is so old it kind a needs a remodel. But it’s also a very small city, If you look at a map of the city it’s literally a square Daly city, the city next-door, was literally just a place for people to live for people who worked in the city.
That’s all I know though, I know that hippie Hill is a great place to go and hang out what do you want to get away from the world, but I don’t know if it’s as special as it used to be. I haven’t been in a few years because I can’t afford rent where I was born and raised because it’s so cool to live in San Francisco. I dreamed as a kid about living there and exploring the city because it was so beautiful to me, but now I can’t even live my dream of living somewhere where my grandparents lived in my father lived. Thanks who ever the fuck made SF a desirable place to live.
It definitely has a bunch of really well put together companies and unions compared to most other places as well because the city and the people who live there take a lot of pride in their work and their lives etc.
That’s all off the top of my head though unfortunately

I've lived in a lot of places in this world. San Francisco is where I left my heart. My sons were born there. Great video Tom!
Me too
a friend of mine and i recently ventured out there. i feel as though i got to experience a lifetime here in just two days. its everything as you've described, just so much more intense when you're right in the middle of it. its as raw as people can get i feel. i now understand the meaning behind the phrase "i left my heart in San Francisco". because thats how i truly feel. this place is magic. whether good or bad idk but def otherworldly
What San Francisco really is like: gentrified.
True, but also not gentrified in many parts (Mission, Chavez, Fillmore, Western Addition, etc). Yet another contradiction tbh. Thanks very much for watching
All the neighborhoods you mentioned have been gentrified 15 years ago. Where are you from? Kansas?
Tom Dehnel they are def gentrified. I live in 24th and mission. Hella gentrified
"San Francisco - Come wipe us off your shoe." I love the new travel ad.
the video graphic sytle is phenomenal amazing
I’ve lived here my whole life, certain places suck, and other places are chill
came here, to learn stuff to work on my comic, but stayed for that banger music, GOD DAYUM
That was brilliantly made, good music and editing. Thanks, really enjoyed it.
This review reminds me of a line by Oakland-born poet Gertrude Stein: “There's no there there.”
I lived in SF in the 1990s , admittedly as something of an outlaw . Nobody's ever thought of it as cheap , but it WAS compared to now . I would move back if I had a private income and could just hang out , but as a worker it's a dead loss . You'll work long hours six days a week , pay a shitload of tax , and barely get to enjoy the good things
This is why I was able to live there for 18 Years. I miss this place so much .
I left years before the filth beyond the tenderloin set in. I had a 3 bdrm noe valley flat with 2 car garage and garden access back in 86 for 1000.
8 rooms in Noe Valley in 1972 for $140/month.
Excellent video, truthful and genuine info!
live there since 1980, seen ENOUGH
I feel the same. Anybody who has lived here for an extended period of time has seen the decline and we're fucking over it.
San Francisco is an example of the effects of predatory capitalism and the decline of the American Empire. If you don't own a home already in SF, for the most part you can't afford to live there unless your apartment is rent-controlled. SF does have a great selection of restaurants. I have a friend with benefits who introduces me to a different restaurant every week.
East Bay native, SF resident for 6 years.
This idea that SF is a utopia is only peddled by the Star Trek movies and right wing media outlets who need a talking point to fill their show. No one in my 30 years has ever said SF was a paradise. These pundit shows just need a way to justify why the tech moved here, a high tax state and area, and not the flat, boring no-tax Midwest thay they say is better for business.
San Francisco is like every other city, it's just much smaller and easier to wander into the ones tourists would usually avoid.
SF was a city started by the miners and free thinkers looking for a new start away from the staunchy east coast. We are descendants of the people who moved away to start new or be themselves.
You can be as weird as you want in SF as long as your version of weird doesn't hurt anyone or stop them from being their own version of weird.
Love your optimism! My hometown has gone thru a lot of changes. It's mine and I love your positive outlook, it's what you make it! 👍
How can you produce a video of this caliber and not have at least 100k subscribers?? This is the best video I have seen on youtube, the amount of effort you put into this video is evident. Subscribed!
It smells like urine and every bathrooom is pissed from floor to Ceiling
Hundreds of restaurants have closed permanently; Zoom and work-from-home have destroyed the commercial real estate market and is now affecting the residential market; the arts are suffering, etc. It's a beautiful city but decades of mismanagement have weakened the city's ability to deal with the homeless and other problems. One year later, the San Francisco described in this video no longer exists.
This man deserves more followers for the quality of his editing & comprehensiveness.
I live in Sacramento now and believe me, San Francisco (forever my City) can't hold a candle to how nasty and dirty the homeless can be.
I use to commute for work last year for over a year via Bart to SF. It’s a dump hole. Expensive cost of living, some of the worst traffic, no parking unless you are up to paying $35-50 for a spot in a structure. Homeless everywhere. So many times walking through areas with restaurants with mounds of trash and un eaten food on the curbs/streets due to over flowing trash containers. If your lucky Enough you might even walk past a junky shooting up or even the needles they leave behind in the middle of the side walks.
I used to live in SF twenty years ago - I’m back in my homeland of England now, but this just made me want to be back in SF. I miss that place so damned much!
Thanks for the awesome video and trip down memory lane my man 🤟🏻
🙌🙌🙌 great video and a very nice soundtrack
I am from Zagubica, Serbia, but one of my biggest dream is to visit San Francisco, it look like most beautiful city in a whole world. Sorry for bad english. You get subscribe from me, make sure to post more videos in the future. 😄
Come!
SF native born and raised. This city has too many major problems now. Most of the people aren't even from there anymore. The culture is being stripped away and the city is becoming mostly tech based with no balance for other career fields. Foreign rich Chinese people buying up property for investments while people struggle to find housing. Minimum wage lost its purpose as it doesn't even pay enough to provide basic needs anymore compared to other cities. SF will always be my home, but it's ruined.
Mark Twain never said that. Misquote.
great video, very professional
The light in San Francisco is like nowhere else.
So true, it's really amazing
Yeah it truely is magnificent
I live in San Francisco. It is the best city in the world. After I traveled so many places in the word: Asia, Europe, South Pacific, South American... San Francisco is always the Best!!
All of those things you mention were continents and a collection of islands. San Francisco is a city
To be honest I loved San Francisco and I already miss it too much!
I stayed for only one month at a hostel and I'm still editing the episodes about it...
Also, I really like the storytelling you use in this one! Congrats it's awesome!
I used to live there...and it is a place where you are free...you can walk down the streets and no one will look at you...you can be completely wasted and people won't bat an eye. It is expensive with a very high level of income disparity...and it can be dangerous as well...but it remains perhaps the most magnificent city on the planet.
Thank you for uploading a great video of SF. I live and love San Francisco. I subscribed your cannel. Looking forward to watching other ones!
I wish I could afford to live comfortably there.
What are people mad about? It being too exclusive for you to live in? The homeless people? For me it's the fact that in 1999, you could go to a park in downtown SF and it felt safe. The city was a truly romantic place, on-par with other beautiful cities like Paris and Rome. When I go there now, it's blue and gloomy. The same parks I used to dwell in are now dirty and unsafe, with people passed-out on the ground. There are still spots in SF where you'll get that old-school vibe: the beaches, sunset, presidio, and maybe one or two other areas. However, it's mostly a scary and dangerous city now. I literally find more solace in Tri Valley and the Central Valley now than I do in SF. I WANT to love the city like I once did, but sadly it's not the same. I visit periodically to see if things have changed for the better, but honestly, it has not. The last time I ever remember the city being good was in 2013 - it changed significantly henceforth.
Gross. SF is gross now. You'll get harassed by panhandlers, pee everywhere, BART sucks, tons of car break ins ..it used to be great. It became horrible over the past 10-15 years.
It's always been like that bb. Gentrification is what's making it worse.
It's always been like that bb. Gentrification is what's making it worse, if you can't handle it leave
@@cyrisbautista5261 not really & I don't live in SF bro. It was NOT like that 15-20 years ago
Being from the South Bay, and even thought San Francisco is like an hour away, it ALWAYS feels like and adventure to me. New districts to explore, new facets of cultures to experience, interesting people to meet. I never get sicking of visiting this city.
Exactly. I was raised in Pacifica, so just a hop from SF, but it was a different world completely.
I don't generally don't comment on random videos but l really loved your point of view. It's all about embracing and living to the fullest. Thank you for uploading such encouraging video.
Sorry, my English is bad.
Huge thumps up from India.
Hey Tom, I decided to watch your video thinking "I am sure I will not like this", but you surprised me. I don't like the music choice (I like the song so much more in its original - but that's personal choice) but I did like your attitude that you're making the city your own. You surely love the city as I do. I live here for three years now. And you made the point clear that everybody has to go outside of his comfort zone, which is so true. Especially when you move here from Europe. Don't worry about all the criticsm that you receive. This city is for everyone and everyone discovers it their own way. My way is more activism and "summer of love" attitude and the city's big power of healing (like in the old times) but I totally respect that people see and love different things in it. I am German tour guide in the city and people tell me all the time what I need to see in the city or how I should react to certain things. But we all have our own lifes and our own decisions. So I had fun watching your video. Big hug from Nopa.
Thanks for the video ❤ I hope to be there next month 🎉
*I don't have a pithy quote about San Francisco, but I lived there for thirty-five years and consider it my "true" home. I move from Memphis to SF after college in 1976 and was practically forced out in 2010 after retirement. For the first five years I lived solidly in the Tenderloin, the last thirty years I lived on the perimeter of the TL, in the Civic Center. I remember the days before the AIDS hoax, and when Blacks were a solid 12%. I remember sunning on Baker's Beach when I was 100 pounds lighter and forty years younger. It's the people of San Francisco that makes it the wonderful place that it is. It could be the old hippy 'summer of love vibe, that make the people of SF so giving. Or it could be the 'found' love that folks of the LGBT...community exudes. Or maybe Hetch-Hetchy is micro-dosing the folks with lithium or ecstasy. I found my old 400 square foot studio on Zillow. It has an estimated value of $1.2 million. If I had the money, I'd move back there yesterday.*
Lucky he didn’t step on a needle running on that beach . I live in the Bay Area and it’s the most disgusting place I’ve ever seen.
Were you even born in the bay area? Smh.
Thanks for making this video Tom. I used to live in SF on a $45k salary and it was my first job out of college from Ohio State. I wasn't sure what to expect. I got recruited to other roles in LA and NYC. I miss the Bay Area and loved that town. I'm currently interviewing at a couple of jobs to get back to the area and this is an insanely accurate description of the push/pull effect I felt of SF. You embrace it and make it your own, or you can choose to be dissatisfied.
I'd love to connect if I end up getting a job and moving back to town! I'd at least love to learn more about your experiences and enjoy the city in the way that you do. Just subscribed!
Very nice video of my city. I moved here in 1986 from Santa Barbara. I had a bad split with my boyfriend and needed to get away, so found a couple in the Oakland Hills that needed a housesitter for a month. I was a Santa Barbarian, I was just visiting. A month later I had a full time job that paid twice what SB was giving and I relented. I have never looked back. I've lived in the same apt. for 31 years - know most people on my block - got rid of my car - and absolutely love the diversity - which is a far cry from where I started out - a farm in Ohio. lol
MY 13 YEARS IN SF: At age 33 I’ve walked and experienced this entire city inside and out many times. I only stay at this point because even though it’s expensive, with a place that has money flowing into it comes with the latest cutting edge tech, restaurants, connections, businesses while always having great weather year around (including fog). I’ve never considered this place to be part of California. It feels like it’s own location separate from the world. And the biggest perk is all the amazing places that are a short drive outside this city. Muir Woods, Half Moon Bay, go further and you have Yosemite, Monterey Bay. I love that we have the bay on one side and the ocean on the other side. Take a Ferry boat and you’re in Sausalito. ‘Bar Bocce’ restaurant over there has the best prosciutto chicken pizza! Yes predominantly this city is white men, and lot of people stay for a short while, but with 13 years of living all over this city from the TL, Glen Park, upper Fillmore, Dogpatch, SOMA, Twin Peaks, now The East Cut (where Salesforce tower is located) my greatest take away from living here is that the homeless need more attention / help with getting housing (navigation centers are happening luckily), low income residents need more affordable housing / activities in SF, less sea salt and GMO free food options that make all the meals around $17 to lower the price tags on the menus at overpriced pretentious restaurants would be swell. Man that is annoying. If pet owners could stop having their dogs piss on the plants that are now dead that would be nice. If Uber and Lyft could kindly hire drivers that actually know how to drive in SF that would be splendid. The bright side is this beautiful city at its roots will always be here for the ones who were here long before the tech boom. The ones who moved here because of its beauty and opportunity, but not because of its paycheck. We pride ourselves for having small businesses which is slowly getting washed away. Luckily Philz Coffee, Trader Joe’s are here but even deeper Crossroads, Sightglass, Super Duper exist. San Francisco is a piece of heaven, flaws and all. It doesn’t care if you’re here, but it’s here if you want to experience it.
Try paragraphing
Yawn....zzzzz..
Beautiful job on this you really show what San Francisco is. I love San Francisco too. I live 3 hours away and go there all the time.
beautiful video
Thank you from algeria
Sorry bro. Shouldn't say "we" after a year. Still a tourist....
I was so annoyed by that. This derp isnt apart of the city.
reddit.com/r/gatekeeping
So whats the time frame. Where is the city code. Because after 30 days you live there
My sister and I say you're not really a California Bay Area person until you've been here for 5+ years....maybe 10 to actually have lived in the city and experience everything there.
If you still have to ask how to get around town without a map, you're still a newbie .
When you’ve been in a place like sf for only a year you’re hardly an expert on the city. and no, that’s not ‘gatekeeping’. You have a very different experience when you know a place as home and when you’re just arrived (and likely to leave )
I love this!!!
Ugh the “musical background” is god awful.
Horrible
I went in 2022 on a solo trip through SF and came home with a clipper card with some bucks on it. And it looks that I will do that again by the end of the year. Despite "everything is so damn expensive"... I am German, visited SF for the first time 30 years ago. So many things changed over the years, but I am still in love with this city as a tourist.
That’s my city Bro. I would love to live there again if it wasn’t so.....
San Francisco?, no thank you. California?, no thank you. USA?, no thank you.
I can't wait for you to do 10 minute videos on every city that you barely know! "Budapest is a city of contradictions!! It's both Buda....and Pest!"
Superb editing, excellent choice of music!
If it wasn’t for Oakland I’d left the Bay Area a long time ago. SF is wack, no diversity, overpriced everything and people in general do not seem happy.
I have read that gentrification was happening in Oakland now
Andy w 100%
I was really happy living thrre
Wow. Thats sad. I live in SF and I get by just fine. I'm happy there. Oakland is way different lmao.
If you ain't got yo shit together FRISCO ain't for you..... people had decades to get get there shit straight but decided to waste time.... And spend their money on stupid stuff besides property.... I love FRISCO I'm just setting foundation for my kids... I've been here since 1983 (40 years young next year Lord willing) I ain't going nowhere.. I'm just getting started.... 41$......
This is my comfort video
Honestly great video. Thinking about moving there and this gave great perspective.
I watch videos like this all time and this is without a doubt the best one I’ve seen. Excellent job!!!
Great narration, it has an Anthony Bourdain feel to it. Maybe your next videos can go deeper into each of the neighborhoods. Let me know if you’re in China town I can show you around and get a Chinese Mai Thai
It sucks that the Pacific Northwest has to be so expensive.
Why not go to Golden Boy for Pizza? Real Franciscans would do that!
One thing you have right is the love vs. hate, the high vs. lows, the disparity vs prosperity...and the traffic. The traffic sucks!
Also, Peet's sucks...go to Snowbird!
F'ing love golden boys, one slice of clam, around the corner to Tony's for a slice of pepperoni. My mouth is watering 🤤
Tony’s has the best pizza!
This video was well put together. Very enjoyable to watch. Cheers 🍺
im from san Francisco. but i would never move there
U from daly city stop lying
Good East Coast pizza at Amici's.
I am a Philadelphia ex-pat, moved to SF in 1993, and have lived in the city the entire time.
I love this city.
I just got back from a long birthday weekend in San Francisco and did NOT want to have to go back to New Mexico! I'm determined to move to the Bay Area where I belong. I lived in Los Angeles for 22 years and miss CA. But, I much prefer the Bay Area over Los Angeles. I felt alive in San Francisco this past weekend! I rot in NM.
wow. this is a captivating video.
This video touched my soul.
SF is totally cool place to go.
It smells like urine and every bathrooom is pissed from floor to Ceiling
Tom, You are a classy honest guy. Thank you for a great video.
It would be fun if you did a video on the different neighborhoods. Noticed you were driving through the marina, that would be a fun one to start with lol 😅🤪🙃
Great idea, I have something like this in the works, please subscribe and stay tuned!
I really enjoy the way this video was constructed. You really know how to summarize information in cool ways, with visual cues, symbolism, music, quotes, etc. I'd love it if someone could do this for my city
Great and factual video of my home city - thanked you by leaving a thumb up rating for you, handsome one. Ideal editing job, you must be using a great editor app. Take care and be SAFE in the city, always. Just a San Franciscan native transgender elder pioneer named Tamara
