I am a 79 year old SF Native now retired and living in Kona Hawaii I retired as a Bus Driver from the Golden Gate Transit District---I traveled back and forth across the Bridge between 5 and 6 thousand times a year This video brings both tears and cheers---Mahalo Nui Loa
That bridge, absolutely stunning ! And all around lovely and characteristic places roads buildings trees, and the sensation to be actually driving myself, unforgettable, thank you very much from Milano, Italy 🇮🇹 homeland of the craziest drivers♥️.
BEAUTIFUL AMAZING SCENERY OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY PLENTY TO SEE AND ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL CITY PLENTY of the best city 🌎 ❤️ is great for all ages and enjoy the great outdoors with great views over the city 😀 😊 👍
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to bring back the memories! Here's some off-highway LA if you're not bored with the city yet 🙂th-cam.com/video/2zxYLKE8hnY/w-d-xo.html. Which of the cities you like best so far?
Thank you! I have never been to San Francisco, I dream of going there. I appreciate this drive which creates a beautiful virtual experience for me. The hills, trolleys the Bridge. Exceptional work!
THANKYOU For Your Video, Is Absolutely Great ! I Love how you drived through the residental (HILLS) , you covered a large part of Sanfransico , I cant wait to visit, THANKS to YOUR VIDEO ! Greetings from Indiana, 🙂
DANKE für das schöne Video. Ich wollte immer einmal im Leben über die schönste Brücke der Welt fahren. Es war immer mein Traum, aber leider ist es nie was geworden. Ab heute fahre ich mit dir. Ich habe die Entstehung dieser schönen Brücke auf Videos gesehen. Einfach einzigartig! Nun bin ich zu alt(81) und 13 Stunden Flug ist mir zu viel. Aber ich fahre jetzt mit dir, das reicht mir auch. San Francisco ist wunderschön. Danke für das Video
I know this is September, 2022, but it's amazing to see the difference between when I worked in the Pacific Heights and Presidio Heights neighborhood from 2017 to 2020. Seeing how few people there are on the streets and the very light traffic is amazing, compared to a few years earlier before the pandemic. I know this is a Sunday afternoon in the video but it's still amazing to see how few people there are out and about. Kind of reminds me of when I was a kid, growing up in the City.
I've seen many TH-cam videos of San Francisco. They're all nice because San Francisco makes such beautiful subject matter. I have to say though yours is the best. You've really captured this amazing Californian city. At times, I felt I was literally riding in the front passenger seat right along with you. I like how I could really focus on the wonderful San Francisco residential architecture. That's not always the case in the other preceding videos I've seen. Driving on the Golden Gate bridge at night made a great conclusion. Keep up the excellent work. I just subscribed to DRIVING USA and I look forward to exploring the rest of your content. By the way, have you filmed Downtown San Francisco? Thank you.
Incrível condução pelas ruas e avenidas de San Francisco - Califórnia da terra do Tio Sam, USA, DEUS abençoe a América, é tudo muito bonito, mas a ponte é simplesmente magnífica, muito obrigado meu jovem pelo o seu excelente vídeo.
Enjoy your videos but would love to see the attractions like painted ladies, Grace. Cathertal church, Golden Gate Park, the giants baseball parl, Mark Hopkins and Fairmont Hotels. Also Golden Gate Park. Places people from out of state would like to see.
Thanks for the comment! I do understand your concern. Actually I always try to show as many landmarks as possible but unfortunately they look different from the car 🙂. Many times the view is obstructed by trees, other objects, etc. For example, you can check The Painted Ladies at 53:11 - 53:45.
Were there toll barriers south of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1998? I drove across it a few times and walked it too (didn't seem that long when walking!) That was the only time I've been there or to the States (Irishman in the UK). Great video! Was this filmed in Sept 22? No new cars thay I could see. I wonder what day of the week it was, to gauge how not busy it seemed in places.
Thanks for asking! Unfortunately I don't know anything about tollbooths as far back as 1998 (wiki might know more :)). The video is recent and was filmed in 2022. Hope this helps!
@39'40" The Bellaire Tower on right @1101 Green - the most SENSUAL of all the old 1920s scrapers in the city. 2 bad it won t survive the Big One, most likely ..
thanks for Ubisoft and Watch dogs 2 to have discovered this incredible city in the game and now i would travel on Airlines to journey in S.F and the test of north California with my personal car who will also travel with me on a cargo plane from France.
Thanks for commenting! Looks like the homeless problem is there to stay, but the locals should know better - maybe they'll write it here in the comments... Can't say anything about the song as it was picked along the ambient street noise from some car or café, hope the viewers/subscribers will be able to help. Stay tuned!
That’s why the driver didn’t go to Haight/Ashbury. Last time I was there there were several street sleepers. Just wondering if you will do an update! The street signs were hard to see - many couldn’t be read. Also, would love to see how lower Mission was transformed by the dot-comers. Name some of the stand out buildings, hit the very best part of SF, the Noe Valley and don’t forget twin peaks!
@@Bunny-ii9ks the dot commer gentrification is over. Mission is back to being a rough dangerous area. Most of these areas he drove through are tourist safe areas
I think it missed many of the most interesting spots. Golden Gate Park, Twin Peaks, Market, Castro, 24th Street, Haight Ashbury, The Mission, Chinatown, the beach, Lake Merced, Lincoln Park On the plus side I liked the absence of commentary or a commentator.
Thank you for the feedback! All these are well worth filming but San Francisco is too big to cover all areas at once. I plan on filming several more parts to show more. Thanks again for your input and stay tuned for more!
San Francisco is truly a magnificent city, however the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor are doing a Horrible job and attracting business and residence. Crime, homelessness, drugs, and sky high costs are driving people out of the city. Still, no other city in America has the natural beauty and wonderful weather that San Francisco has.
Thanks for asking! Actually all streets names can be easily seen in the video at every intersection. Sometimes they are placed overhead hanging from traffic lights or wires (mostly at major intersections). Other times they are placed at separate posts (often combined with traffic signs). For example: 8:57, 43:06, 53:44 (street + place name) etc. Stay tuned!
Great driving. I like the vid, but not SF…From a bird’s eye view, SF is like a jewel on the golden coast. At street level, it’s one of the most hideous places in America. It looks like a giant, sprawling ghetto.
@@antoniahamilton3201 thanks for the prescription, Dr. Antonia Hamilton. I will be sure to follow your recommendations🙄 God forbid anyone from having an opinion.

Fantástico conduzir pelas ruas de San Francisco.
There is an annual adult big wheel race down the crooked street on Potrero.
Shoulda woulda coulda hit Twin Peaks for sunset.
Goodunya, great drive...

1:27:42 what a view!
San Francisco is always cloudy when I travel, so it's so cool to see such a sunny weather video. I watched the very nice video.👍
that 488 spider at the beginning tho
Were there toll barriers south of the Golden Gate Bridge in 1998?
I drove across it a few times and walked it too (didn't seem that long when walking!)

@@DrivingUSA Thank you. The shopping streets look peaceful compared to the horror that is London now. Different cities for sure. :)
To enter the city of S. Francisco you allways had to pay a toll-bridge, either Golden Gate or Bay Bridge unless is more than 2 people in the car.
@39'40" The Bellaire Tower on right @1101 Green - the most SENSUAL of all the old 1920s scrapers in the city. 2 bad it won t survive the Big One, most likely ..
why there's some spots on cable rail buzzing, anyway I always dream to stay for a long time to work there and visits of course.
thanks for Ubisoft and Watch dogs 2 to have discovered this incredible city in the game and now i would travel on Airlines to journey in S.F and the test of north California with my personal car who will also travel with me on a cargo plane from France.
流石にアメリカですね。何処の町寄りも最初に行きたい町です。車で走ると気持いいでしょうネ。行ったら帰りたく無くなるます。
7:15 song??? Also how bad is the homeless problem in San Fran these days?
Thanks for commenting! Looks like the homeless problem is there to stay, but the locals should know better - maybe they'll write it here in the comments... Can't say anything about the song as it was picked along the ambient street noise from some car or café, hope the viewers/subscribers will be able to help. Stay tuned!
I'm a local and the homeless problem is still bad. Hasn't improved but it hasn't gotten worse...

Sf had higher crime in the 70-early 2000s
Please name the streets or show street signs and other signs that will help the viewer , identify the parks or locations.

Um that's me self thinking this fram the orphanum think there is what is it south San Francisco ¢ coin gold giet it right.

Thanks for commenting! Yes, unfortunately there are ugly spots but luckily there are some quite nice areas!
You sound like a very depressing person to be around. Please stay away from any gatherings where people just want to enjoy themselves.
