Lived here all my life, in the Sunset to be precise. Yeah, the sun doesn't come out here too often. Either it's overcast (and depressing) or the fog drops lower and starts billowing over the houses and streets, at which point it has officially graduated to 'cool.' Our large homeless population is generally attributed to San Francisco's past stance on giving money to homeless people. I believe it was about $350 a month or so. Add in the large number of free shelters, soup kitchens, and a (comparatively) polite atmosphere, and you have homeless people from all over the country flocking here in droves. I didn't really hear about the NorCal/SoCal rivalry thing until I got to college, and even then I don't care about it much. I think of it as a localized version of the US/Canada rivalry. I met a few SoCal people who knew about the rivalry, but they mentioned it in passing or in jest. quote:sinistersimian came out of the closet to say: I'm planning on moving into an apartment in January. Do you have any favorite places? Do you know which districts strike a nice balance between accessibility/crimerates/nightlife?

North Beach Pizza is also good, with plenty of locations throughout the city to boot.

Guerrand posted:Any recommendations for American-style breakfast diners in SF? I've already tried the two big-shots, Mama's on Washington Square and Dottie's True Blue Cafe. I'd like some place with a slightly shorter wait than either of those places. I love the Pork Store on Haight. The Daily Grill on Mason and Geary is also excellent for breakfast, with a classic NY-style bistro feel to it. Zoccoli posted:There's also the Lucky Penny at Geary & Masonic, which is pretty good considering how cheap it is. I've never tried the biscuits and gravy there, sorry. It's open 24/7, though! Lucky Penny's pretty terrible in my experience, even for the price. If you venture out into the Sunset towards Taravel you'd find the Taravel Cafe at 22nd and Taravel with the $5 breakfast that includes pancakes, bacon, eggs and breakfast potatoes. There's also a host of breakfast places on 9th and Irving that are excellent and affordable. If you're in the neighborhood for 24/7 places, there's the Video Cafe on 21st and Geary, the Baghdad Cafe near Castro and Market and Sparky's Diner on Church and Market.
