>I couldn’t be paid enough to live there.

It's all personal choice. I lived there for a long time, and if it wasn't so expensive, I'd move back in a heartbeat. I wouldn't care about SF specific laws, it's the cost of living in ANY city. Personally, I would rejoice if all cigarettes were illegal -- that would make me want to move to SF even more, to take such a wonderful stance against cigarettes.

All cities have laws that other places don't have. Why you for some reason only confine it to SF is strange.

I just adore SF.

Even all these things about homeless - that is true where the homeless are, but last time I went there a year or two ago, there were no homeless, or exceedingly rare - I went to Glen Park, Noe Valley, Inner and Outer Sunset, Excelsior, Forest Hill, Parnassus Heights, Cole Valley, Marina, Pacific Heights...so many places in SF - no, or rare, homeless.

It's the same exact thing in Los Angeles. If you go to where the homeless congregate, there they are. But I could drive around Los Angeles for days and not see a homeless person.

But people like to catastrophize. ALL San Francisco is horrible, ALL Los Angeles is horrible. No, sorry.
