Born in SF. Lived there until I was ten then my parents moved to pleasant hill. As a adult moved to SF and lived in the Mission D on 19th and Guerrero. Now live in Oakland because of work and cheaper but I’m a 20 min Bart ride into SF and while I miss living in the city at least I’m close and not in some desert with 100 degree everyday.
I just moved out of SF with my partner a few months ago. I love the way you said "Our order of operations is all messed up. But we had the fortune of being able to be here first." We can totally relate.
I don't know how I've never met you, only being 1 year apart and a fellow SF native, but I got all the feels from this video. I've lived in Davis, New York, LA, and San Jose... but there's no place like home. Although my wife and I had been working toward purchasing a home here, it seems more like a distant dream due to the rising cost of housing and yearly income raises not matching. I think we're starting to resolve to the fact that we may forever rent here and not own a house. But that's doesn't make SF any less of our home. As always, looking forward to future videos from you, regardless if it's SF, San Pablo, or in between.
Don't be sad. Your heart will always be in SF and you're a short drive away to "come back" to SF. I've experienced the same and know what you're going thru. Its a new stage in your life. Great videio work and story as always. Good luck in San PabBLOE. You new house looks great.
I moved to SF after college, met my husband there....but his Navy career took us away. I am now well into retirement, having lived in 17..,honest!! different American places. With one exception, , I have loved them , all, and given me a broad view of my country, . I honestly can say that I could not move back to SF. Not for the social decay..,I just like the life I have built in my current western city. You are a very compelling storyteller, and you will do well in your new digs..,
Joey, you are missed. I am watching your old videos and realize how much i really enjoyed not only the content, but your thoughtful and pleasant demeanor. What have you been up to? I am sure we'd all like to know. I pray you are well and look forward to your next chapter.
So on point, the city is our hometown so that is home for us. When I'm in the city so many memories come up but thats why because 'we were already in the city' no matter where we go it will always be that way. Looking forward to you discovering a new place! My family left SF years ago but you'll find places with similar vibes all over the Bay Area as well as ones just unique to where you live. It takes some adjustment because we tend to have everything we need in the city but the adventure of finding it out in a new place is exciting and creates new lovely memories!
Just remember, Joey, that this is your final week in San Francisco...for now. It's my feeling San Pablo will be a place you temporarily live until you eventually return to San Francisco, your true hometown and the place everyone knows you belong.
Great video, Joey. Thank you for sharing. Very emotional even for me as I struggle to justify the financial challenges of remaining in The City, home-ownership & raising a family. Looking forward to the next spot!
yo Joey, thanks for making these videos :) ... I appreciate the history of SF after watching these videos and it reflects the true spirit of this city , I moved here recently and watching your videos to see spots to visit , would love to meetup and discuss the history of this city or walk the crosstown trail!
Joey, you might want to keep your doors and windows shut for a couple weeks. That way the plants will get used to the new house and not try and escape and make their way to the old house.
How far is your new place from SF? I visited SF twice and I really liked the city it's not too big and yet there's a little bit of everything. Amazing 360 panorama everywhere it's truly unique, it must be hard for you to leave. Best wishes from France
Moved out of the city more than 20 years ago. I'm so glad I did. I don't need to look for parking for 20 minutes in my neighborhood just go walk back home every night. I don't need to pay for a permit just to park in my own neighborhood. No more stuck in traffic or MUNI delays. I've been so much happier. SF is just a city of rip-offs. So happy that you're moving out.
Opposite experience here. Moved to SF from Chicago and there is parking on every corner here, the food is amazing, the nature is everywhere, the national parks nearby are a gift from god, the arts and entertainment here are on another level. Its expensive, but like most things in life, you get what you pay for. And I would happily pay even more to stay in this amazing city. Cheers.
Hey, take care of the city for me while I'm gone.
You already know that's gonna be rough
we’ll try

I love how you're caring for the pigeons
Thanks, Joey. Good luck in San Pablo. Remember, the City is still here.

Pro tip... It'll suck for a minute, but then you'll come to love San Pablo and vicinity.
Just remember, Joey, that this is your final week in San Francisco...for now. It's my feeling San Pablo will be a place you temporarily live until you eventually return to San Francisco, your true hometown and the place everyone knows you belong.
Not until he becomes a millionaire
as a native who left, once you leave; you can't come back
I would love to see more vlog videos from you Joey!
Enjoy San Pablo and hey… show us around.
Great video, Joey. Thank you for sharing. Very emotional even for me as I struggle to justify the financial challenges of remaining in The City, home-ownership & raising a family. Looking forward to the next spot!
All the best to you in the new place. Beautiful aviary, and love Dandilion. Specials are my heart.
Where are you moving to?

I echo the others who say we'll miss you. I hope the new adjustment is an exciting one, and I look forward to seeing what you share with us, next.
Reminds me I need to drive over the Dreamcast games I borrowed from you years ago, haha. Best of luck in the new place and congrats on the move!
Where’s the pigeon videos
Hey, that is a great place with an awesome view.
I am so sad 😭😭😭😭
Why did you delete the video that you made when you came back to the city????
yo Joey, thanks for making these videos :) ...

Joey, you might want to keep your doors and windows shut for a couple weeks.

God damn will always think that sculpture in front of the conservatory of flowers is ugly as all shit
The answer is no, I still haven't played Looney Tunes Space Race.
Swear you wore that strfkr shirt like half the week

This is sad.
