Great job on this video. I have lived in Cole Valley and currently the Inner Richmond. As someone who has never had a car, I enjoyed how you covered the public transit in each neighborhood. It is clear you have explored many of the neighborhoods in SF. I know some people who only live and work downtown and feel like they miss out on so much of the city.

Very great tips dear, and yes I have been living in SF almost 10 years now, totally agree which you here, please stay connected!

Hi! I live and grew up in the sunset. :) one little thing you didn’t get (but most people don’t so it’s perfectly fine) is that the sunset is actually divided into three parts: inner sunset, which ends at 19th avenue, central sunset, which goes from 19th to Sunset blvd, and outer sunset, which is from Sunset blvd to the beach. The Richmond is similar, having a central Richmond neighbourhood, which starts at park presidio and ends at 32nd avenue. Most of the Asian culture that you see in the sunset tends to be in the central sunset. Inner is now more transplants and Outer is usually families who have been in the city for multiple generations. I grew up with a bunch of them, so I can attest. Also, some history for you since I’m an SF native: the Irish and the Russian immigrants came out here and kinda “settled” it. Back in the days of big Irish population here, the San Francisco faction of the Irish mob was headquartered in the sunset. Russians also had headquarters here, but a lot of business moved into the Richmond district neighbourhood of Little Russia, which spans 17th to 27th avenue, and from Clement to Anza St. Kinda funny that I’m talking about Irish and Russian population in the avenues, since I’m half Irish and half Russian Jewish. Great video! I’m glad my hometown treated you well while you were here. :)

I used to live in the Richmond across the street from the park and it was so much fun and really easy to get to the beach and other cool neighborhoods-- loved it!

Hey great video- Sunset/Richmond/Haight was already my focus (Rincon Hill is too noisy for me so I"m moving out of downtown)

I used to live in Pacific Heights now I’m in lower Nob Hill, I love Pacific Height a lot more than Nob hill, they both good, but Nob Hill is too crowded for me, but good side is Nob Hill is so close to everything and I love to walk to Embarcadero in the evening which is my favorite part!

Thank you! Really helpful.

This was a great video thank you!

This is a great video 👍🏻 I visited San Fran in 1998 and things have changed a lot 👎🏻 Tenderloin wasn’t like it is now ! Pacific Heights and the Bay Area were my favourites , ohh and the trams are so cool ♥️

Great video. Moving to SF in a month and I loved this!

I’ve lived in SF the past 5 years. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with everything.

Good video. One note that was missed is that the Richmond has a higher population density than the Sunset. Less of a suburban feel.

Great video, thanks! A map being shown quickly would be helpful though.

Thanks for the video! I hope that I can hear your opinion about Soma, The Mission, Potrero Hill and Mission Bay in another video :)

I LOVE BRENDA'S FRENCH SOUL FOOD!! Also I'm laughing because one of my closest friends lives in visitacion valley and I hate going to visit her- it's like a 10 min drive from my house but like an hour via bus because the transit to there is so limited and visitacion valley isn't even walkable to other neighborhoods!! I used to live in the richmond and it's 100% underrated (I just hated that it was so freaking far from everything) Great video and you provided a ton of useful info!!

I have gotten some criticism lately on this video about my mentioning of different racial demographics and I wanted to address it because it saddens me that people are calling me a racist when I am not. I had mentioned racial and nationality demographics because I know that can matter for some demographics to live in a neighborhood where they are surrounded with people who look like them and can also relate to each other. My goal was to try to prevent gentrification even more because it hurts communities and it seems that I didn’t address that in my video. I made the mistake of assuming people would know what I meant and I was wrong. I really am sorry for not giving context in the video as I failed to do that. I appreciate anyone who addressed their concerns with me about this. The last thing I ever want to do is to upset people 🥺

Relocating to SF from LA. I visit SF frequently and as a visitor love North Beach along with Cow Hollow / Marina. These are ideally my spots, but noticed you can definitely get more bang for your buck in SOMA. I love to walk and concerned SOMA might be a bit out of range from where I normally like to hang out. Curious what others think. Would I feel "isolated" in SOMA and having to Lyft everywhere? Not terribly concerned about work commute, but will be working in the area of Folsom and 11th.

I really liked your video. I lived in SF many years ago, (very briefly, less than a year), and stayed accross the street from Lake Merced, near SF State. I remember it was very close to the ocean. I'm guessing the area could be considered the outer Sunset, but I'm not sure, because it's not mentioned much on the youtube videos about SF that I have seen. I used to go to the Sunset, near Golden Gate Park often, and really liked that area. I was just wondering what kind of neighborhood Lake Merced is now? I worked downtown, and didn't have a car at the time, and I used to take a bus to a tunnel, (I think they called it the West Portal), where a streetcar went through the tunnel, and ended up on Market St. Downtown. This was many years ago. I imagine it's probably changed considerabaly over the years.

I find it interesting hearing transplants (I am assuming you're not from SF) give their perception of the city. Nice video and you're spot on about North Beach. It's the best imo as well. and nobody calls it Little Italy except euphemistically; the name of the neighborhood is North Beach and nothing else..You missed a few neighborhoods/districts that I would mention. Bernal Heights is a great neighborhood especially around Precita Park. The Mission: you mentioned outer Mission and Excelsior but the The Mission should be mentioned as a good neighborhood, also the Dolores Park area is cool. Castro? . Also Mission Bay and Dog Patch are worth mentioning. Potrero Hill. Around North Beach is Chinatown and Jackson Square both very livable and fun neighborhoods. Also FiDi around embarcadero has some good living spots. I would also add Soma especially the areas around Rincon Hill and the area the developers are calling the the "East Cut".( I hate that name but it's what they are trying to call it). Also, I'm going to add that the Tenderloin is a great neighborhood but you gotta know where to stay away and not go. cheers!

I used to summer in SF, in part to avoid the Texas heat. I love the fog, especially in GG Park. I stayed in Inner Sunset, I stayed in Haight-Ashbury, and I stayed in the Mission. I liked those neighborhoods a lot. I would definitely live there.

Thank u 🙏🏽

i've lived in almost all neighbor hoods including near stonetown mall :D best spot, but muni doesn't run very late after 1am. gotta uber or bicycle home

My Nolan family used to live in Pacific Heights, on Washington St. near Alta Plaza, from 1892 until 1973. That neighborhood survived the 1906 fire, and today the old Victorian homes are worth millions.

would you consider releasing an extra version of your (future) videos without the background music? i find it hard to concentrate on what you're saying.

20th Ave!!! Baby Sunset area, lived there for 4 years.👍🏼👍🏼 a kid from NY definitely had a blast there. Correction: outerwear sunset is pure Asian

I'm staying on Clayton street in April overnight layover about 26 hours in the city should be fun

You didn't go over all the neighborhoods but whatever. North beach seems like a cool spot. The sunset seems cool.

Hi Ilana, how come you didn’t talk about The Mission? Which is one of the most popular neighborhoods in SF. Also Japantown which is pretty cool

Dude if only you had posted this like six months ago before I rented a place here

Yes, I lived in the inner sunset for nearly 2 decades, 4th and Irving, tram right outside, UCSF hospital right there, jump on the elevator and cross the road to the hospital cafeteria, so much to choose from, all day, bullet style, make your own whatever, extremely inexpensive, it was like a 5 star restaurant in a hospital, fantastic. can do lots at that campus, shopping, banking, etc, the great stores @9th and Irving, dining,, Pluto’s - amazing steak sandwiches and salads extremely inexpensive, Very clean neighborhood, UCSF, golden gate park and local police all around, nothing horrible ever happened to me there, very very safe. Travel out a few more blocks, Molly stones supermarket, pricey but the quality best to none, surrounding that area, little Eastern Europe stores, more on the other side of the park, but inner sunset only 10 minutes on the tram to the Castro, 15 to the city, If not less, what more could you ask for, pretty much something for everyone. Well, I only left a couple of years ago and yes i will brag, my rent, 2 bedroom, top floor Victorian with attic. $700 a month - the owner actually felt bad increasing it from $650 to $700 , I was very lucky, I think he gets around $3000 a month now. I lived in Hayes valley for nearly 10 years before that, closer to the city, great shops and restaurants on Hayes street, easy walk to everything, but my rent for one room in a nice old Victorian was very high and the area could be dangerous, projects close by, my “local” corner store at least one shooting a week, our Victorian had angled steps leading to the front door, you can guess how that tiny closed off section from the street was used, not nice. I had a wonderful place in ducose triangle for a while, just above the Castro, great area, very wealthy, however no shopping, had to walk down into the Castro, fantastic views, lived in several other little neighborhoods, I love all the little different neighborhoods of SF, so much to see and do in such a small amount of space, never really have to leave, it’s a mini New York. By far the inner sunset however was the best, just over twin peaks, some would say that is so far away, if you consider 2 minutes on the tram tunneling under twin peaks far, I did not have a car, no need of one, really believe that the inner sunset is the place to be - for a long term home in a very safe area with excellent shopping, dining and easy access to everything. Cole valley would be my second choice. if I was a multi millionaire - the little area just above UCSF. Very small area, extremely hilly, very close tight little community, only a couple of streets but everybody really knows each other, lots of neighbor dinners, parties, some celebrities and very wealthy. I think it is called parnassus heights, only 2 ways to enter, once you hit Belmont Ave, every property around that area has character, surrounding views, of course are amazing, this is the area Armistead Maupin once called home. It really is beautiful, quiet, hidden away little area. Visitation valley 😂 seriously never heard of it, I am guessing closer to south San Francisco yuck that is miles away,

good job from a native, left many memories behind

What about The Marina or North Beach?

We have lived in both Inner Sunset and Noe; we preferred Noe

As someone from the Central Valley whenever I go to San Francisco I feel like I’m visiting a completely different planet. It’s probably the only city in the first world where you can you literally walk from a slum to a neighborhood with million dollar homes in minutes. And I’m not sure who disgust me more: the drug addicts and drug dealers in the Tenderloin or the millionaires in the Marina drinking their $50 cup of coffee in those tiny toy coffee cups.

I like cathedral hill I live near the St marry right above Hayes valley, it's all parks schools churches families. Places near by 5 7 blocks New hospital above me by Tommy's joint Fillmore left of me music food Japantown top left food festivals Hayes valley below me a open area strip of stores park small one Next to Hayes Valley near City hall Ballet & Opera

I m in love with your channel ⭐⭐⭐, you are authentic and genuine and i can see that you love doing videos , for sure i will be here for the next one 🙂!! we also create video and i would love if you could check them ❤️

When you grow up maybe you’ll be able to appreciate family neighborhoods. People don’t remain young forever. And they still want to live in SF

You should mention that UCSF is a major employer for the inner sunset neighborhood.

What are your favorite neighborhoods in your city?

How do you manage to afford SF?

Show the places on a map dude. I dont magically know where all of these are.

Too much to live there. Go Hawaii! Even Honolulu has 1 bedrooms for $1,350

The Irish lived in the Mission before and during the war but when the Sunset was developed all the Irish went and settled there. The Mexicans they took over the Mission.

I can’t listen fast enough
