There's a lot I like about SF. Most of all is it's walkability. We don't own a car and I only have to get in a car 2-3 times/month. Once you get used to this type of lifestyle, it's pretty tough to imagine going back to a life that relies on a car/public transit. We walk/bike everywhere we go. If we need a car, Getaround makes that super easy.
We spend 95% of our time within 2 miles of our apartment yet never feel like we are at a loss for interesting things to do/see, though we are pretty easily satisfied (e.g. sitting in parks watching boats sail is an A+ activity).
The above is mainly due to:
1) Weather
2) Density of the city
3) Size of the city's footprint (~49 sq/mi)
4) Diversity (lends itself to the "interesting" part)
5) City's prioritization to public spaces (parks, stairs, are plentiful)
6) Topography also adds to some interest to our primary mode of transit
