Here's the wealthiest neighborhood in San Francisco, California

- Can you believe how expensive these homes are? Who can afford this??
For this episode of dashboard tours, I wanted to show everyone the richest neighborhood in San Francisco. Now, this city gets a lot of bad press because of the huge gap between the homeless and the elite, and has become one of the most unaffordable cities in the united states.
The average home in San Francisco now costs $1.5 million dollars. And that was when I wrote this on November 4, 2021. But the time YOU watch it, it might be close to 2 million bucks for the average house. It is officially the most expensive city in the nation and it’s not even close.
There’s no way most of the young tech people who move to the bay area can afford to buy a home here and they never will at this point. Most rely on renting crummy apartments across the bay over on the oakland side or cramming into a small bedroom in a bad part of town.
And up here where we’re heading, this is the elite status fella. The area we’re going to now is called Pacific Heights. Here’s a map of where this neighborhood is. It’s on the northern end of the peninsula. The area is roughly defined by Union and Jackson Streets and Lyon and Buchanan.
The first street we’ll take is called Broadway. This is Billionaires Row. The man who created PayPal, the guy who founded Oracle, the founder of Yelp, key Apple execs, famous novelists like Danielle Steele and other super rich people live here in an area with amazing views of the Bay. But this area is ONLY 10 minutes away from the Tenderloin, which looks like this. The Tenderloin might be the most poverty stricken and sad place in the state of California where many of this city’s homeless drug addicts live on the streets.
That’s San Francisco. A place where the elite rule the day, and a city that’s totally out of reach for just about everyone.

San Francisco has old money. They're not all tech billionaires. This neighborhood was never poor or middle class.
how old's the money?
The Getty's...
@@cruelpulse the Pritzkers, the Fishers, the Schwabs, the de Youngs, the Johnsons...
But most of the tech billionaires live in Pac Heights, I think they’re usual in Seacliff too. That being said, many rich tech bros have fled the city
@@muhlaynee Haas, Folger, Heller, Crocker, Huntington, Flood, Hearst, Stanford, Davies...
As someone who lives in San Francisco, the most expensive neighborhoods are St Francis Wood, Sea Cliff and Pacific heights...I can only dream about living in one of those houses some day...
Same, I drive through st francis wood everyday and I always stop to just admire the homes. Most of the homes value at like $3 mil - $4 mil right now (I recall seeing some going as far as $6 million). I could never afford to live there.
Yeah this guy acting like he can just speak on the city and he not even from here.
@@kaaynn-rn my husbands boss bought one for 3 MiL….spending almost 1 mil in renovations since the whole bottom floor has black mold and mildew everywhere and they need a new roof
Meh. Just a pretty prison cell. Place is basically North Korea lite. I'd rather sleep in a ditch and have my freedoms, than live in SF, anywhere, any day of the century.
Don't forget Diamond heights and SNob hill.
Most people in California that don't own a home already will never own one.
Maybe when grandpa dies.
Victim by choice
@@alfre4554 Very true, then again, everything is by choice. Someone once told me that no matter how crappy your situation is, you still have a choice (A crappy choice, but still a choice). Also I read from somewhere that Denzel Washington once said "You do what you have to do so that you can do what you want to do later."
Just don’t live in San Francisco
@@alfre4554 so if you're young it's your choice to never be able to buy a house?
Just an FYI to people, that house in the thumbnail is the most expensive house in SF at roughly $50 million. It's remarkable to see in the evening as it looks like an absolute palace. Larry Ellison also has a house down the street (the boxy chrome/metal exterior one)
Way too small to be a palace.
Yeah I deliver all around that area for amazon and soo beautiful
And even that is hidious, and in a corner. win no privacy. Ridiculous
@@BaYbOi41510 that's hidious. Nothing beautiful about it.
These Modernist Era houses are complete eyesores. Too much money and no taste.
I learned how to drive a stick there. It was terrifying. I was at the Presidio back in the mid-80’s. The city used to be a beautiful place.
How ‘bout that 17th Street hill from Market to Clayton in a traffic jam😬
Growing up there at the top of a steep hill, I had no choice but to learn how to drive a stick shift since the '73 Toyota Corolla my grandfather gave me was a 4-speed. You master it after awhile. You also master parallel parking in tight spaces. ;)
Still beautiful at the Presidio and many other neighborhoods.
@@sharonb378 I had a 84 Honda Accord. I got really good at it but can remember being stuck/terrified on one very steep SF hill.
@@robtangent4664 Some great views at the Presidio too. I was there for an overnight.
Ha, yes I was one of those who had a stick shift in SF for almost ten years. I got real good at it let me tell you.
Plot twist: Nick falls in love with San Francisco and buys a $1,500,000 house there 🙂
Lol noooooo waaaay jooooose
@@NickJohnson Oh, sorry, I meant $45,000,000! 🙂 Cheers!
I'm rooting for Mappy to buy a family home there. Have you given him a raise yet @Nick Johnson? LOL
@@NickJohnson you couldn’t even get no where near half a million. Lol
SF unaffordable because the amount of people who want to live in SF. If people did not want to live in SF, the housing prices would crash. But just the opposite is happening. Prices keep going up. Do you really not understand economics? Why do you think it is so cheap to buy a house in Texas and other poor red states? Low demand. If the poor red stats were desirable places to live, the prices of housing would skyrocket. People only move to the poor red states because housing is so cheap and taxes are low. Can you imagine if houses were cheaper in California compared to Texas. There would be an avalanche of Texans moving to California. Thank god houses in Texas are dirt cheap.
Rent in some Texan cities is already going up because of the increased demand
It's the Silicon Valley influence. The names they mentioned in the billionaire rows are all founders of high tech companies in Silicon Valley. The average home price in San Jose' is around $1.3 million - and SJ is not a world class city, there's no GG bridge, Ocean view ... It's just a city near high tech. Oh, and weather doesn't hurt.
Yeah it's pretty simple, value is value, San Fran is tech. Views are all over the country, tech hubs are exclusive.
But also San Francisco was expensive even before the internet.
Pacific Heights was the most expensive neighborhood in San Francisco long before Silicon Valley came into existence, although the tech boom did accelerate home values as more high paying tech companies moved to the city in the early 2000's. Many San Francisco homes in this part of the city are prized for their architectural and historic value. With all it's problems, it is a beautiful city and many people who want to live in an urban setting want to live in San Francisco. You're right when you say San Jose is "just a city near high tech". San Jose and the majority of the other cities in the Bay Area have more of a suburban/sub-rural feel.
Novelist Danielle Steele lives there too
SF Pacific Heights has always been expensive, although the tech boom has inflated it more so. Pacific Heights had multi-million dollar homes 30 years ago, when $500K was expensive in most places. The wealth and money has been there since the Gold Rush in 1849, followed by the Silver boom. It’s the Financial District of the west coast and home of Venture Capital. Many noted families in this neighborhood have recognized household named companies. Folgers&Hills Bros coffee, Pope, Getty, the Fishers who own The Gap/Banana Republic, the Haas family from Levi jeans etc etc. Our Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and senator Diane Feinstein both live in PH. The SF Bay Area has an ideal climate, exceptional natural surroundings and public places. Location location location. A great place to live if you can
Pro tip: I’ve got several friends that live in SF (Sunset District), they pay $2,000 a month to live in a remodeled garage (rooms upstairs are rented separately for more) and it comes with a small bathroom, kitchen and curtain for closet
and they're glad to be there
that is lemmings behavior at best, and stupidity at worst
my MORTGAGE isn't even that high
but I guess I lucked out and got a nice house during the 08 crash in north San Jose
what a joke lol
They got a curtain?! Goddamn 1 percenters!
I lived in the Richmond and was there for almost ten years. Paid 1300 a year for a big efficiency with a separate kitchen and only remained because of rent control. I left when I realized I'd never be able to buy or upgrade.
I had a friend who lived in one of those Sunset setups back in the '80s. I loved it. It was really cozy.
Sunset is like another country
I've lived in SF for 40 years, the last 23 in Pac Heights. By far, the best 'hood to live in. I can leave my car in the garage for a week and walk to dozens of restaurants, food stores, shopping etc. And, 2 spectacular parks you failed to mention -- Alta Plaza & Lafayette, with postcard views. This is a totally urban luxury neighborhood -- no sprawling grounds like you find with SoCal estates. Pac Heights also has better weather (i.e., less fog) than Presidio Heights or Sea-cliff. Sea-cliff is too far out and offers zero amenities without getting into the car. And the views -- I look directly at Alcatraz in one direction and Twin Peaks out my front windows. Perhaps no better city view anywhere in the US, if not the world. And, if I want, I can be down the hill and onto the GG Bridge in 10 minutes, & in Sausalito for lunch in under 30 minutes (which I do regularly).
Must be nice…
who cares. One man's meat is another man's poison
Very cool Jon. What is your opinion of Cow Hollow?
@@rayray4192 Cow Hollow is OK. Lot of good dining and mostly flat walking, but no views. And, importantly, it's built on landfill (not bedrock like PH) which is VERY susceptible to earthquake damage as we saw in 1989. BTW, my comment had a typo -- I just had my 30th anniversary of living in Pac Heights (June 1, 1992 was my "move in" date).
@@jonblock1871 Must be nice to be anything but one of the Freedmen, a Black American since nationwide everyone else gets to hold onto and protect their heritages and their enclaves, even FOREIGN Blacks, ethnically Caribbean/West Indian cultural groups like those Jamaicans, and ethnically Sub-Saharan cultures like those ETHIOPIANS, Tunisians and Eritreans get to move more freely while all of the Freedmen's townships were destroyed and those damages were NEVER COMPENSATED FOR.
Million dollar houses with Tent City 15 minutes away, just a matter of time.
The million dollar homes are right next to the tents, it cost several to tens of millions to be 15 minutes away.
EXACTLY how can someone pay that and/or be ok with that, it doesn't make sense to me! Maybe when they get tired of the stench or step in someone's feces they will care 🤮
@@payableondeath9091 I don’t think it’s a matter of not caring, Many folks have roots in SF, or are getting rich working at tech companies so can tolerate it while their options vest.
@@cyberft nah, not in this neighborhood. They are down the hill
@@californiamade5608 what do you mean?
You forgot to mention the Mrs. Doubtfire house!
I drove a taxi in San Francisco for almost twenty years, you're on Scott Street, it's ritzy and ritzy 😃🇺🇸💕🇩🇰 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK NICK 😆🇺🇸💕🇩🇰
I grew up in Presidio Heights, which is right next to Pacific Heights. I'd say the Real Estate in the Presidio is comparable to Pacific Heights also.
If you notice when you drive into the Pacific Heights neighborhood. All the poles with wires disappear underground. It’s the little things.
Fiber optics?
@@phyllispetras3369 yes and power lines.
You’d think that Pacific Heights being where the money is would be ideal for the tent people..all the rich people could practice what they preached then & help out giving dollars out when they passed by being chauffeur driven eh
Yeah right. A delivery guy who looks out of place can't even go through there without being harassed. Meanwhile I can't even remember when the Van Ness or Geary projects started because the city is so corrupt. I can't imagine they would even allow a single pothole in Pac Heights.
Sea Cliff is pretty posh as well
I work in SF it’s a beautiful place one of my favorite cities but the cost to live there is no joke
Where do you live? Just curious.
It's also attractive to those who can afford it because of many nearby amenities. The coast is beautiful, Marin county, and a very well known wine country a short distance north. Plus Stanford University, UCSF, UC Berkeley, Silicon Valley, so much in a relatively small area. A lot of the well educated and wealthy people who live in this expensive neighborhood have some kind of connection to those institutions and businesses.
And those Universities have professors who are members of the Communist Party U.S.A!
If someone is rich enough and smart enough I hope they would avoid sf and live in Marin County like George Lucas...
@@alainkessler3247 Book smart, but useless. You could list all their skills on 3 fingers with a jumbo sharpie. Zero gun smithing, zero mechanical, zero plumbing, zero drywall, paint, carpentry, metallurgy, metal work, nutritional science, gardening, preservation science, masonry, landscaping, etc. If society collapses, these people will be dead weight and the first people to be turned into soups.
@@manictiger idk if I would go that far and I'm sure some of those people have knowledge of different kinds of skill sets. I just hate sf is all im saying
@@alainkessler3247
I know tech types. They wind up specializing in a skill that winds up aging really poorly and they don't deviate from that skill, except maybe pick up a side-hobby. Learning useful things is not something that interests them. Only exception might be electronics, but some of the most reliable and important skills are for super simple objects. As NASA said, KISS: keep it stupidly simple (TH-cam will probably delete this comment if I say it correctly).
Regarding 6:42, San Francisco encompasses 7 miles by 7 miles = 49 square miles if you also include Alcatraz Island & Treasure Island in the Bay as well as the Farallon Islands which are located 27 miles West of the Golden Gate which are all technically part of the City and County of San Francisco. However, San Francisco itself as a contiguous City land mass has a slightly smaller area of 46.7 square miles.
Sure, Tech people got rich and could easily afford to buy here in SF.
If you bought $1000 shares of Google in 1998, you reaped $20 millions today, ha ha ha!
Now you might want to take a drive through ATHERTON, CALIFORNIA!

San Francisco is a relatively and small compact city - it has always had affluent neighborhoods close by poorer neighborhoods. That's one reason why residents will likely tell you where they live by naming the neighborhood rather than the street, or naming the street AND the cross-street. One street usually passes through all kinds of income levels. About 35-40 years ago I rented a tiny studio apt in an older building on California Street (cross-street was Fillmore Street, a trendy shopping & dining street even then), in a neighborhood called "Baja (Lower) Pacific Heights," for $410 / month (no garage and hard-to-find street parking). Little old Italian lady was the landlord that used to (illegally) enter your apartment when you weren't home (no prior notice) just to check on things if you were a newer tenant. Today's rent would be...??? Her children / grandchildren must be rolling in $$$.
Broadway is an example of a street that changes character. As it crosses Columbus, it has bars and strip clubs. Then, not far away, it becomes Billionaire's Row.
I heard there's so many destitute there's an app for fecal matter bcuz it's so bad
Was it better back then? More fun than it is now and less homeless? What was the tenderloin like?
@@payableondeath9091 Is that app for the State Legislature from the Governor down? That place is certainly full of fecal matter...
@@dennisguilder1 There didn't seem to be the severity of problems. There were drugs, car break-ins, robberies, homeless, like any city, but not at today's explosive level. Real estate in SF was expensive then, but a lot of neighborhoods hadn't been gentrified yet, so there were more average wage earners living in SF.
Danielle Steeler’s palace is perhaps the most impressive home in San Francisco (Pacific Heights).
And yes, you have little idea what you are talking about.
Do the wealthy people have employees to clean the excrement from their sidewalks?
There would never be excrement on their sidewalks.
There’s a reason the tenderloin is concentrated with hobos, but nowhere else
Go to Seacliff. Those homes there easily cost 30 to 50 million dollars.
Seacliff is gorgeous with a true Mediterranean vibe. I actually like Seacliff more than Pac Heights.
Robin Williams used to live there in my day.
Poor people hate rich people and rich people hate poor people. And never the twine shall meet UNLESS.. you are a a very lucky individual (like a Cardi B or a kid selling toys on YT and worth 30mil).
It is expensive for many reasons including the weather: you almost never need a heater nor an air-conditioner. The area is limited, about 7 by 7 miles. It is historic, lots of technology companies, hospitals, etc.
Don't need a heater? San Francisco is cold 10 months out of the year. You have to go to Marin, the Peninsula or the East Bay in order to warm up.
@@hurryandleave9680 The average low is about 50 F. With windows closed, I rarely needed a heater.
Many nights it gets down into the 40's. An ongoing joke among the residents of San Francisco is all the tourists in the summer shivering in their shorts and t-shirts as the wind picks up and the fog rolls in from the ocean at 3:00 P.M. Mark Twain is said to have written, "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." When I lived there, the coldest time of the day was between 3:00 P.M. and 1 A.M. Then, with the fog finally covering the whole city, heat rising from the city streets would get trapped and things would actually warm up a bit.
Yeah I need a heater
i guess it’s because i was raised here but to me the weather is never really cold or hot.
What happened to "SEACLIFF"?
Some of the best shoplifting in the bay area.🤯🤔🙊
I believe the California government is about to make shoplifting a legal form of employment.
Why you hating on us rich San Franciscoins? I have a two room cardboard box, no roommates. 💸 😂 😭
San Francisco has a nice climate. It doesn't rain a lot, never freezes and It doesn't get THAT hot.
@@enriquerodriguezjr4466 this is false. Havent seen 1 homeless person in the vid lol
@@ショーン-x7f no. As it is said in the video, it’s the rough areas like Tenderloin only.
Tis true.
To live in PACIFIC HEIGHTS of San Francisco??? Mappie would have to earn closer to $26,000.00 *_per DAY!!!_*
(PS: Nick... I love your videos.)
Still think the overall cost of living across the US is becoming insane but even crazy expensive CA was not that expensive 7-10 yrs ago. When did the "average" CA home price of $100K jump to $500K or more? It's a ridiculous jump in pricing & I can't believe there's *that* many super rich who can afford these prices. It wasn't _that_ long ago in OR good homes were in the $30-$60K range.
You're right Mappy would need a lot more $$$$$
@@celestepalm6949 My mother's modest 1,400sf home in San Francisco sold for over $500K in 2004. So prices in the city have been relatively high as compared to other parts of the Bay Area and country for at least two decades.
Young tech workers who move to SF need to rent a crappy apartment outside of the city? I think you're out of touch with how much young tech workers here make. $200K junior level out of college. That will get you a rental in Pacific Heights easy with plenty to spare.
If your upset,.death of a loved one, for therapy you walk the hills of presideo to let off steam you walk the hills. Best therapy ever dude 🚶🌴
Mappy might find a rental in the rough part of Stockton for $26,000.
Yep I think you're right jim
LOL!!
Yep, the average price for a detached in Toronto is about the same as San Fransisco, so I can relate lol
Nobody asked about Canada. Thanks anyway.
@@LemurJackson 😂
It should be illegal to charge the same to live in Toronto as San Francisco. All the price, literally none of the benefits.
They don't look very nice. Most are dull. Come see our Shaughnessy neighborhood in Vancouver, B.C. World class crap!! Literally and metaphorically.
The poor "Okie" town of Brisbane just SOUTH of San Francisco has more than a few properties going for a price that will attract people not used to cleaning their own laundry.
If you want to live in San Francisco you had better be young. Old legs do not work out well at all. There are few flat neighborhoods so climbing is a necessity. I used to climb Nob Hill years ago but doubt I could today.
Nick your video never miss and I never fail to watch them. Keep doing a outstanding job mate. Cheers
Ok John thanks!
I mean, there's no space for everyone there. If you can't afford it, then leave! 🤷♂️ there are many places to inhabit that are cheap.
Real estate prices in and around Campbell (Saratoga, Los Gatos, West San Jose, Santa Clara) are about the same as they are in the City. There are a lot of affordable apartments in San Francisco, also.
I was told about and looked at the bay area prices as I have family there, and was born there. Homes are going for 2-4M, so the city doesn't look horrible anymore.
I learned how to drive a stick in San Francisco. Pretty sure I was going to die a few times. It was a little green Ford Ranger. Truck is long gone but the memories will live on forever.
Oh, but the satisfaction of holding the clutch at a stop sign at the top of a steep hill is priceless! :D
@@sharonb378 Hahaha I know right!! It took me awhile to figure that one out but once I did I was a pro!! Also I got it down to a one point parallel parking spot. Hey those thing are worth gold in a city like SF. I miss that town but really glad I got a chance to enjoy it.
You have to experience the city..you have. To smell the ocean
I Love San Francisco ❤️
What about Camping in the usa 🇺🇸
FYI - most expensive with the best views is Sea Cliff Ave, to the west of your area
I Think Sea Cliff Is Stunning As Well🌉!
Castro is expensive and trendy
I heard that majority of the homeless people in SF were once high in status and were rich, but unfortunately bad decisions + drug use took over … so sad bless those people.
Sometimes that's how it starts. People drink and drive, come to work smelling like alcohol, never recover from a divorce, etc. They could not recovery mentally or financially.
I ran into an older woman who used to be a ballerina. She was a mess but so sweet. I gave her money even though she didn't ask for it. We were talking about how I was wearing the wrong type of shoes.
Not sure where you heard that from but I assume most SF homeless are in need of mental health assistance and have alcohol /substance abuse issues plus if you talk to them they’re not even from the area, either came from out of town or out of state willingly or forcibly from states who do not want them and bus them for SF to take care of them and and provide assistance from city funds 🤷🏻♂️
The “majority?” Do t believe everything you hear kid
@@fergomez3817 yeah you’re right it’s common for people to travel area to area regardless, and I stated I heard, not that it was statistical data.
It feels disgusting, the vast wealth disparity on full display. With all those people living on the streets...horrible political system.
How come the hoods are that separated, why not move your tent up the hill? Get a tent with a view. You could then grab for $949 in a really fancy shop.
I would always hear the phrase “Crime doesn’t climb”. My last apt. there had Danielle Steele’s estate and the $45m penthouse featured in this video one block up hill and tents one block downhill.
How about Seacliff?
A overpriced dumpster is still a dumpster.
Bellevue, WA is very similar, our homes are around 1.2 million average.
Don’t compare wa to sf
Well, price wise similar, yes it is very differnt than SF
I’m shocked this conservative dude is showing the nice parts of liberal cities in liberal states
San Francisco is a beautiful city. I love the Victorian and Edwardian architecture! I have visited many times and always had a great time. It was expensive to eat and drink and do things but worth it. Pacific heights is lovely.
don't forget the urine, feces, vomit and freak/weirdo culture..
@@Snowboy2015 get a life.

grew up in visitation valley. we own our house and another property in oakland. don’t plan on leaving the bay, i love it way too much.
Beautiful! Hold on to your properties and keep them in your family!
That’s not good neighborhood
@@sukhsingh5101 yet, but the house are over million dollars
I think the most poverty-stricken part of California is actually Skid Row in LA because at least in the TL, there are all types of folks who live there.
If you're homeless, you can afford to live anywhere that you want, and Yes, San Francisco as well.
Uh...I get your point, but I have a hunch no homeless will be living on any sidewalk in Pacific Heights. Hell I couldn't even sleep in my truck hardly anywhere once a few years back where Sunset Blvd in L.A meets Highway 1/ The Pacific Ocean. Apparently those folks didn't even like any BEACH BUMS.😐
I’ve seen homeless people just walking by the sNob Hill area be escorted out and told they can’t be there by private security .
Sounds illegal.
I suspect you'll never see homeless in the areas with money. They'll just pick up their red phone with a direct line to city hall and have them removed immediately otherwise risk a withdraw of campaign funds.
@@Boogietized exactly right! you hit the nail on the head. You just described corruption. Ultra wealthy pulling the strings by leveraging their wealth. The politicians dont run this country, its the ultra wealthy elite in the shadows behind the politicans that control all of the campaign funds that control everything.
Its funny these ultra rich consider themselves "liberals" but theyre the least compassionate people in the world and the biggest hypocrites. Theyre all about affordable housing and helping the homeless and what not but just not in their neck of the woods where their property values might decrease.
@@Boogietized I guarantee you that will happen. The homeless are allowed in certain neighborhoods to DESTROY THEM. Then the rich people buy the entire neighborhood, change the zoning laws, and redevelop it. It becomes a nice neighborhood again. The homeless are then pushed to the next neighborhood planned for destruction.
Based. They don’t want their neighborhood to turn into the tenderloin.
A few months ago, I saw in my dream😴💭 I went to a city I never visited in reality, I realized after watching this video, This was the San Francisco I dream of, What a strange experience
The fog keeps SF cool while the rest of America suffers heatwaves. The views from Twin Peaks are not bad either.
Prestigious, but probably unsustainable. Probably why the rough neighborhoods are only a short drive away.
That's literally everywhere lol
@@Dev-zd3rx exactly
It's coming for the richer areas. It IS unsustainable.
Coastal cities of the US is as sustainable as properties go. I mean... is London, HK, Tokyo, Dubai really more sustainable? Not really.
I feel like in today's world, sustainable living is the way to go for sure. Need to start living off the land sustainably,and stop laying pavement/concrete. History is just repeating itself.
Funny, all your other videos said SF was a toilet, Make up your mind,
I guarantee you that people that live in San Francisco aren't any happier than other people that are in other parts of the country
@Tatsuya Nakamurata Lol. You act like you're the only people that have money.
I guess the name Beverly Hills or Malibu doesn't mean anything to people living in Pacific Heights? Oh yeah of course it does....That is where the super filthy rich have a 2nd or 3rd property? Or would that be a ranch property out in Texas or Wyoming? Somewhere in Colorado?😂 No doubt a penthouse apt in New York overlooking Central Park is one such property as well huh? And for the OBSCENELY rich there is always some vast estate in Great Britain or some nice yacht in the French Riviera.
@Tatsuya Nakamurata Doubtful. And even if they did, have you ever heard of standard of living? A gardener making 100 grand in the bay is living in a shack. A nurse living in my state making the same owns a home. You haven't a clue how economics work or you wouldn't make such a sophomoric statement.
I think you need to reconsider both your name and your guarantees.
Happiness is highly subjective. I know there are very rich people who are very unhappy as well as poor ones. What is really scary is obscenely rich people who are so rich that they can afford to screw with much less rich people, to perhaps relieve their boredom. Of course that implies some kind of "Squid Game" type scenario which I have my doubts about. But I have NO DOUBTS about rich people becoming POLITICIANS, then in their haste to be seen as "saviors" or "good guys" and even just "normal everyday people" make decisions and changes that will 1) Make THEM richer and/or 2)Cause unnecesariy misery and inconvenience for the rest of the schmucks they "serve".
Your camera is facing the wrong way as you drove along Broadway. The right side of the street has the views and is where Ellison and Gettys live.
Nope
Remember that movie "Pacific Heights" with Michael Keaton? This yuppie couple buys a multi-family Victorian in Pacific Heights for $800k. I remember thinking how insanely expensive that sounded. I think that was the early 90s. Probably $8 million today.
That house is actually in the protrero hill neighborhood
San Francisco is expensive because it's a magical place. You have to live there to discover the magic. I lived there in the 90s. My rent was 300 dollars a month. A friend of mine had a huge studio in the tenderloin. So, I spent a lot of time around that neighborhood. It wasn't a big deal. Drug addicts are pretty harmless people. Most of them don't want to be bothered. I spent a lot of time hanging out with the homeless. I learned quite a bit from them.
Ok. But do live there in the '20s.
I believe Sea Cliff is the most expansive neighborhood in San Francisco, not Pacific Heights.
It’s around the same I think St Francis woods is also up there
' the most expansive' - big and growing area, or 'expensive' - costa lotta dolla?
Nope... but close.
I do not believe that is true. I have no need for belief. You are factually wrong, I know you are incorrect, If you want to know, ask.
YES! SEA CLIFF IS BREATHTAKING 🌉 AND 2 BEACHES BAKER AND CHINA DON'T HURT EITHER 🌉.
Beautiful San Francisco
I have a friend who lives in this area.
It is beautiful.
It’s weird how the super rich and poverty ridden areas are just 10 minutes away.
Constant Reminder On Both Economic Levels As To Never Say Never🌉! And That Anything Is Possible 🚞!
I'll tell the homeless to resettle there, it's a very beautiful place to set a tent!
A lot of folks are already ahead of you.
Most young tech kids who live in San Francisco actually don't live in crummy apartments. They live in high rises and I know this because I use to work for a property management company out there that owned all of them. Most people are starting off in the tech field at a $100,000 salary which would never qualify them for a crummy apartment and that's even after taxes. Great video though.
San Francisco, is known for its good foods. 25yrs.ago San Francisco, wasn’t like this. Any and everyone could afford to live there.
I have yet to find restaurants as great as those in San Francisco. Some of the best restaurants you'll find anywhere. It has definitely changed. We can thank decades of bad governance and failed policies.
I agree with you. I Stayed at the Hyatt Downtown for Vacation in the 90 s. It was great place to Visit. Coit Tower, Alcatraz, Lombard Street, Fogg city diner, Pier 39, Ghirardelli chocolates, and Chinatown. I felt safe. It’s a shame this happened to a beautiful city.
I love watching old movies and tv shows that were filmed in San Francisco, .Like that show, the Streets of San Francisco, so iconic.
Me too you can see the massive deterioration since the 1970’s.
Streets mostly filmed in LA. But there's vertigo, bullet, doa, dirty harry series, conversation etc.
@@roadtrip2943 You must be thinking of "Nash Bridges", or possibly "Ironside". SoSF was filmed almost entirely on-location (so interiors were actually movie sets).
Also notice how (in those old movies and TV shows) it was middle-class folks, with middle-class jobs, living in SF homes. Back in the 60's and 70's, SF was one of the CHEAPEST cities to live!
@@travist.7279 No, it was expensive then, unless you wanted to live in a bad neighborhood (with much higher crime than today).
The tenderloin is no where near as bad as skid row in downtown LA.
these house's don't even have a front yard with real grass or swimming pol in the back! Move to Texas or Oklahoma where 1.5 million gets you a lot of land , a big house , a running creek with plenty of trees, and good neighbors! Amen!
Know what I miss about a few other states? Fireflies. There are no "lightening bugs" in California😭😭
Oklahoma, no. Texas maybe, because at least there are things to do in Texas. I wouldn't be bored to tears. I took a tech job that paid really well in Kansas City once. I lasted 2 1/2 years. I was so bored by that time that I quit my job and moved west again. The people were nice, but I had nothing In common with them.
Billy Horton, you are so real. Buy a beautiful house in TX. or Oklahoma and come to visit the city by the Bay. I was there in 1989, we had the big-one ( Earthquake) it damaged the city.
@@jebidiahnewkedkracker1025 the fire 🔥 burned them.
@@judywilson9003 What fire burned what? The lighting bugs??? There have NEVER been fireflies ANYWHERE in the state of California! I believe they thrived no further west than perhaps (Kansas??) I don't know if they were in the northern part of the U.S. but they certainly lived in Virginia and Kentucky. You tell me otherwise, I want PROOF. I'm fairly certain they thrive in areas with much more humidity in the summer months than states out closer to the west.
I used live in city raised since I was 8 months old
I lived in mission district
Potrero street on 20 th
And silver ave near Hamilton
San Bruno ave near Dwight
Alabama and 22 nd street
Hampshire and 21 street
Gates street
Then moved to east bay purchase house in 2005
*Why don't wealthy people that voted for a democrat let a homeless person sleep on their couch?*
Hi, you did an excellent job ❗ Last time there was 1969. My brother lived on Lombard street in the 70s. The good old days ☺️
Ok Carol!
The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Mark Twain.
He never ever said that. total myth.
@@doriemckay6935 thanks for shattering my dreams and forcing me to take back my like from Lee.
Summers are cold, mostly on the west side of town.
My favorite music artist *Larry June 🍊* stays in this area of San Francisco! Good job Larry! You're doing good! Keep going! *Aye🍊 Aye 🍊 Aye 🍊*
In my humble opinion, there's nowhere in San Francisco worth purchasing.
Probably. If the crime, drugs and homelesness isn't handled properly, you know it's going to infect even the wealthiest neighbourhoods too in the end.
Where does Nancy Pelosi live?
Finally some eye candy! Pls do other nice parts of the bay area, please!
All the poverty in the US & not to mention we are one of the wealthiest countries on the planet and look at this extravaganza of income yet we can not seem to solve the basic of social issues like HOMELESSNESS
I think they don't want to stop it. Those non-profits are rakin' in the dough. :/
If its really that important to you. Buy about ten acres in the country and name it Pacific heights that way you can say "I live in Pacific Heights". Savings to you, $44, 900,000.
American drivers are so polite, taking turns at stop signs. I think they’d be really scared if they drove in England, it’s an everyone for themselves and not much politeness, they drive aggressively here
I’ve driven a stick shift in SF for decades. It can be done, never an accident.
Try Broadway /Gough
Isn't San Francisco losing some population? Maybe that could help the city get cheaper. Also despite it being the most expensive city, there's still plenty of non-tech ppl there, especially Latinos in the area who definitely aren't making 6 figures but still live there, I wonder what is their secret?
For the most part just being in the same apt/house for years
You should cover Millionaire’s Row over at Mountain View Cemetery.
GREAT IDEA
Yeah & check out the masonic Pyramid-shaped crypts on top of
Mountain View cemetery while you're at it... yes, they do exist.
The whole city is millionaires row.
Awesome Super great and Nice Home
Keep em coming ,Nick from Australia 😉 q
Views are great but the roads are not that great.
Do a tour of Atherton next
Atherton is too spread out. Most lots are 2+ acres. It would make for a boring video, but Menlo Park, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, and Los Gatos(my home town) would be an eye opener.
Send the homeless to alcatraz in the muddle of the night, and don't tell anyone
