Have you been to SF recently? It is a real shit hole now. And in rapid decline.

Homeless will sleep at your doorstep and piss on your door. Homeless are not confined to the tenderloin. They are everywhere.

Crime is increasing. 13 walgreens have shut down, due to blatant thievery by criminal gangs. And no arrest or prosecution of thieves.

As for dating. The male-female ratio is skewed male on the west coast. Opposite on the east coast. And in the bay area, many more males vs females.

There are many better options and locations. Why even commit to a location? Why not explore them all? 3-6 months at a time?

Austin, Boulder, NYC, Singapore. The world is your oyster. If you go international, you save money on US taxes. Foreign Earned Income Tax Credit.

"The male-female ratio is skewed male on the west coast. Opposite on the east coast."

Do you have any source for that? I haven't really seen this, but I haven't exactly travelled enough to evaluate two entire coasts.

Edit: Why downvote?

It has always been this way since frontier days.

Your source doesn't support this. M/F for: WA - 100, OR - 98, CA - 99. So it's basically even but slightly skewed female.
