Though it does have its downfalls like high living prices, lots of traffic, and a large homeless population, the city is full of so many unique people, fun things to do, and beautiful sights that make up for it. I'm always as happy to explore the city as any tourist would be, even though I only live a short drive away!
BRRRUUUHHHH, i literally got back from San Fran yesterday, missed a load of it apparently!! you guys best send me back to do everything in this video??
Been to San Francisco twice. 2017 I drove in a Mustang Gt convertible from Toledo to Big Basin state park, then from the park to Pier 39 for lunch. And 2020,before the coronavirus outbreak, I flew my mom out to California for her 70th birthday and we went to Lake Tahoe, Muir woods, Alcatraz island, Pier 39 for dinner, California state railroad museum in Sacramento and Yosemite national park.
Saint Francis of Assisi (Italian, San Francesco d'Assisi) founded the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church. Born in 1181 (or 1182), he is remembered for his generosity to the poor and his willingness to minister to the lepers. However, what many people recall most favorably about him is his love for animals and nature. Many of the stories that surround the life of Saint Francis say that he had a great love for animals and the environment. He believed that nature itself was the mirror of God. Pope Gregory IX canonized Francis on July 16, 1228.
Coming from someone who lives in the Bay Area, San Francisco used to be a very charming and fascinating city many sights to see and things to do, but now it’s kind of a sewer. Dirty streets a lot of homeless people on the streets and drugs around. Not to say that you shouldn’t visit because it still has those same charms and there’s still a lot of cool things to experience and beautiful things to see, but it’s not exactly the same as it used to be. Again not discouraging you just informing you.
Dudes absolutely right its tweaker central and take it from someone whos gotten into countless fights taking the public transport system here... place is becoming completely disgusting. When i take the train, they open up the gates and by the time im down there i already see tweaks walking all over the place... when i was the first guy after they lifted the gates xD. Completely sad.
Umm, no. Nice try, but you're glossing over the real sewer that city has become. I'm glad to have good memories of when I lived there...very glad I got out!
I lived in S.F. from 1991-2010 down around Leavenworth and Bay St. San Francisco was a different town than, rent was pretty reasonable and the City, while still having problems was much cleaner than today. The Mission and even The Castro is being gentrified with Silicon Valley techies, hipsters & yuppies. Mom and Pop fresh fruit & vegetable stores along Mission and Valencia are disappearing and being replaced by Walgreens, Starbucks or "new" restaurants or brew-pub etc.... EVERY Mayor I had said he had a plan to fix the homeless problem.......and EVERY Mayor failed. What happened to my City by the Bay?
Those Chinese restaurants cooking American version Chinese food. How can be the best restaurants of the world? We took Chinese guest for dinning and they where keep asking “what is this “?
Ignore people who say SF is dirty. Yes, in some neighborhoods (the Tenderloin, which spills over into parts of Downtown), just like any other city. Here are some that aren’t: Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Lower Haight, Pacific Heights, Inner Richmond, Inner Sunset, Bernal Heights, SoMa, North Beach, the Marina, Potrero Hill, Japantown and mooooooooore.
Yes, it seems to me the mere mention of 'California' or "San Francisco' sparks hatred, intolerance and a whole bunch of falsehoods and half truths. I see it all the time on my channel too.
I'm from around there and I despise the city, too many people, no parking, plenty of rude wanna bees. I say just enjoy the food and that's pretty much it
Rosetta Walker yeah they’re kinda overplayed and overrated. It’s nice to hear about other less talked about aspects of San Francisco that not a lot of people talk about. They’re are so many hidden gems in the City that non-natives just don’t know about.
GoldenState you don't need to find, it's in a plane view: homeless, trash, needles all over. Unless of course you live in a gated community with those ultra rich democrats who live in a parallel world. Democrats = Republicans, same dirt.
No bathrooms drug addicts every where ! Very un friendly to tourists not a place for kids save your self a lot of trouble by a post card with the Golden Gate Bridge . Your car will probably be broken into the cops won’t do a thing !
San Francisco, unfriendly to tourists? I seriously doubt it. Maybe in certain neighborhoods but I'd say a good chunk of the city promotes and encourages tourism with all of its landmarks and beaches.
PangoPixel lol sounds like you have never been there ! It’s bad no parking no bathrooms there really are drug addicts and homeless everywhere in the city ! I live near tons of family in the bay area
San Francisco has gone through many changes over the past 50 some years. To learn more about this city, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2F4jjEe
I will surely go there someday...
Why dont you discuss how your city officials can get back to making it clean? I was shocked when I was there. I'll never go back.
Wait so on the arch it says this chinatown is americas oldest chinatown?
Ignores its major serious problems and plagues

I was there for 5 days about two weeks ago. I have seen Chicago, New York but San Francisco has a class of its own. So beautiful and so unique
Looks a great city for a few days getaway! Some great places to explore.
I lived in the SF area for 30 years. It's a wonderful City!!!
🚊
Maybe 30 years ago lol. It’s a shithole now
@Matthew Ramirez ? Eh. SF is a shithole. There’s no two ways about it
_Lived?_
So proud to be a San Franciscan
I am jealous❤
Makes me want to visit this place
I know it’s good propaganda isn’t it. I wouldn’t tho
My sister just moved here a year ago. It’s expensive to rent and she says there’s a lot of homelessness.
Go Green Chicas Yes that’s true
Thats democratic policies for you ,homeless and drug ridden streets
@@R.....1-56 I love drugs🤪
Hi
i hope she's enjoying the $3k/month studio :(
Best City in the World.
Wonderful. Thanks a bunch. :D
Love San Francisco!!!!!
San Francisco is beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope so. I'm going to there in AugustI.
We agree! If you'd like to learn more about this great city, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2F4jjEe
Oh and everything costs double the normal price
Dirty polluted overrated city populated with mostly strange people.
Most major cities have higher prices.
The value of the land also drives the prices.
not true but ok

SF is easily my favorite city in the USA
Went there once. Drove straight there from Utah. Crossed the bridge, drove around for 20 minutes, and left. Place is suffocating.
Whomping Walrus nice
@@WhompingWalrus you are just not used to cities
I'm in love with this town

Playing Watch Dogs 2 Will Give More Knowledge about San Francisco 😍
Meh,GTA SA is better.Stop praising Ubisoft's mediocre games.
@@AFT_05G true❣
@@AFT_05G Mediocre? Watch dogs 2 is probably my favorite game because of its map, story, and detail, is why I have been playing it since it came out.
@@AFT_05G to be honest ubisoft games now are mediocre. Watch dogs 2 was the last of the original ones.
_It reminds me of _*_GTA San Andreas_*_ !!_
or watchdogs 2
San Fierro
Yeah, San Fierro!
Anyone know what is the name of tune in 00:41
I visit SF often and its usually not that clean. Its getting worse with each passing year.
City of colour and diversity. Perfectly described. Would love to visit it some day. Thanks for this NG.

Completely sad.
It's fairly diverse but it could be better. Oakland,CA is actually much more diverse although it's gentrifying.
Love all your videos, my inspiration to do same niche
Umm, no. Nice try, but you're glossing over the real sewer that city has become. I'm glad to have good memories of when I lived there...very glad I got out!
Glad you did too, non locals like you is what has turned my city into a sewer. Great never come back again! Music to my ears.
You know absolutely nothing about what I did for that city.
😥😥😭
@Sam Rummer great never come back!!!👍👍👍👍👉👌
City with the needles in our arm bart station.
I lived in S.F. from 1991-2010 down around Leavenworth and Bay St.
San Francisco was a different town than, rent was pretty reasonable and the City, while still having problems was much cleaner than today.
The Mission and even The Castro is being gentrified with Silicon Valley techies, hipsters & yuppies.
Mom and Pop fresh fruit & vegetable stores along Mission and Valencia are disappearing and being replaced by Walgreens, Starbucks or "new" restaurants or brew-pub etc....
EVERY Mayor I had said he had a plan to fix the homeless problem.......and EVERY Mayor failed.
What happened to my City by the Bay?
@Ramen Lover yep!
I like this city
*San Francisco* 👌🏼😎 🌁🌁 ☕
I'm going to San Francisco in a couple of days wish me luck
Please anybody knows the name of the music at 0.20 ?
I love SF
The national geography of San Francisco
I just love your channel very calming nature videos and very informative.
How much is the distance from California to San Francisco?
San Francisco is a city inside the state named California.
Smh
870 miles
SF is a city in California, in the Bay Area to be more exact. It's in the northern part of the state
💀
SF is my fave city no matter what.
Starfleet headquarters is located in San Francisco.
Do more of these please
There's so much more then this in San Francisco
Oh you mean like drugs and meth heads right?
Now Rocksteady needs to make GTA VI set in SF.
Wow
WHERE ARE THE HOMELESS?
Fubar
EVERYWHERE THERE ARE LIBERAL CITIES!!!! Homeless are like mangy pets to liberals!!! They love em!!!!
@@politicalpartyagnostic268 imagine shittieing on liberal cities for homelessness and not realizing the poorest counties in the US are conservative
Carefully edited out lol
If you're homeless, why be somewhere cold and foggy?
Those Chinese restaurants cooking American version Chinese food. How can be the best restaurants of the world? We took Chinese guest for dinning and they where keep asking “what is this “?
AMERICA WHERE YOU CAN HAVE IT OUR WAY WILE WE ERASE YOUR HISTORY AND WRITE OUR OWN
You are in the US stupid....not China 🙄
You obviously made a very poor choice in restaurants, don't blame the city for that.
@GoldenState more likely to find good ones on Judah.
Sometimes I wonder if San Francisco could be a great place to film a super hero movie the perfect scene for one
The Hulk 2003, both Venoms movies,X-men Last stand, Both Antmans,Shang Chi, have taken place in SF or had some scenes
Yeah kind of more like Batman Gotham city.
Lot of crime their
@@ramenlover1727 sometimes I wonder if SFS has a lot of really tall buildings to swing around
From someone born and raised in the bay.
You see Oakland? Don't go there.
why?
pin gu check out chappelle’s special in San Francisco... he’ll tell you why.
Olawz
What??? Are you saying that people shouldn’t got to Oakland and risk their lives???
It's where San Francisco sticks all its black people.
You forgot about the homeless people and dangerous driving
Maybe the best city in california 😍
Very nice commentary. Artistic photography
Love the buffalo with its tail up. They only do that for one reason. Looks like you cut the clip before the volley.
Lmao I thought the same thing
Amazing. 🇮🇳

RIP Cliff house

govinda adhikari You mean like the double decker freeway that collapsed and killed dozens of people?
You didn’t even talk about Alcatraz or Pier 39

If they made a video about all the iconic locations in SF it'd probably be hours long tbh

Its every expensive though
SF is my hometown
Kinda low budget on the 'stock' aerial footage there NatGeo-Salesforce Tower??
Visited once, went to Lombard and Chinatown and LGBTQ community. Nothing else. Total regret.
GoldenState seriously.. it was so rushed.
Unfortunately, San Francisco is full of hobos and litter now.

@GoldenState this is what I am saying - many folks live a parallel world, trying not to go to the East side, where is the real Sewer Francisco.
@GoldenState thats my neighborhood baby! Born and raised in richmond district. Hope she loves the area

You forgot the homeless a drug problem
I come here after watching san fearro
💙💙🌳🦋
No bathrooms drug addicts every where ! Very un friendly to tourists not a place for kids save your self a lot of trouble by a post card with the Golden Gate Bridge . Your car will probably be broken into the cops won’t do a thing !
GoldenState Sewer Francisco that's the real name
San Francisco, unfriendly to tourists? I seriously doubt it. Maybe in certain neighborhoods but I'd say a good chunk of the city promotes and encourages tourism with all of its landmarks and beaches.
PangoPixel lol sounds like you have never been there ! It’s bad no parking no bathrooms there really are drug addicts and homeless everywhere in the city ! I live near tons of family in the bay area
PangoPixel It’s the most unfriendly tourist location I’ve ever seen ! You can take a Alcatraz tour or go whale watching but the filth is everywhere !
But what if you're broke...?
It's no one's fault than the person who got themselves broke
Then you go negative because thats more or less how the problem with the homeless gets worse every single day here in the bay.
What about all the homeless hobos and the poo all over the streets ? It's part of the quintessential San Francisco experience.
SF condensed into a 3.5 min vid sounds about right
Mirip GTA san Andreas
WHATS THAT SMELL ? SMELLAVISION IS REALLY GOING TO PUT THIS PLACE IN LAST PLACE FOR DESTINATIONS LOLOL.

All you techies ruined fri$co yall need to bounce
Lol techies..? What about the drug addicts/homeless
@@noturavgdude8262 They're here because the techies indirectly increased the prices of everything
