Drive through San Francisco

[TheYungapostle]

Whats an avg. temp in san francisco in early to mid January? please dont answer avg low, just it dont normally drop below this except for a rare day...thanks.

[s4mnoon3z]

try driving stick in the city during rush hour traffic stuck on a hill

[commonskymedia]

This was an awesome tour. I've recorded something similar. It's on my page and is it's called "A New York Minute". Take a look and enjoy!

[funtyrone]

what do you guys think? when i'm done with college, and have ehnough money, i was thinking ofeither moving somewhere in cali, like san francisco, but if i do move out of state, i was thinking either, washington state, utah, idaho, arizona, montanna, south dakota/ND, texas, or colorado. but waaaaaaay out there, my first moving choice would be ohio! and what cities!

[DMon2369]

macilak... Seems like you had fun on your trip to my city.

I just wanted to state that us Northern Californians are not all about the money. That is more and L.A life style. In San Francisco we have nice people and well, you might come across rude people as well... But thats life and every town/city will have their differs. Overall San Francisco people are some of the most kindest, unique, liberal open minded people in the world. Sorry you came across people who think their better....

[macilak]

@DMon2369 I actually lived in the area not merely visited.

[infinitomare2009]

che bella ciittà very good

[RealEros1]

looks scary to drive a car around there what if your brakes break when going up a hill pretty scary lol i would just ride a longboard around the city problem is its going to be underwater in the futuer cause of globel warming lol

[SarangHae3]

In my opinion, SF is America's most beautiful city and I've been to so many places/cities,, big and small, all over the country. SF is incomparable!

Expensive though, you're right.

[WarGodKills]

Miami is better.That is what i think and thats why ill live in miami and leave SF

[texasman147]

San Francisco is a lot safer than Miami.

[jan8919]

miami florida their air is like 90 % of humidity are u sure you want to live there

[WarGodKills]

Yeah i dont like cold weather,like 60F.I like the Miami weather,very tropic.

[macilak]

Yes it can get pretty cold in the winter. And all that rain, too ...

[macilak]

@SarangHae3 Yes you are right., SF is quite beautiful (I can't really say the most beautiful because I am biased towards my own home town.)

[pharmacygirl80]

Thanks for this impression!

[forest1997]

i wish SF had more palm trees!!!!

[workingclasssociety]

Born and raised baby, it's a changing. Dad told me Castro used to be an Irish community full of working people. It's all good, home is where I put my head down. It's a mental state. I do agree many people that have moved out here as of late, we don't get along well, but if they can live without disturbing me, likewise, no qualms here. Peace and love all day everyday. Fall or late Spring is the time to come.

[nagaempress]

I agree with you 100% If the city was like it was like 30 years ago I would but no way....

[CaptGage]

things aren't always as they seem!

[kowshirts]

their is tons of traffic on the bay bridge ussually.

[bulaionionion]

i'm so happy when i see that us natives spell worst than me. and i haven't even been to the us yet. nice vid btw

[jan8919]

People say that new york traffic is worse than california's

[YesYesYoureRight]

4:25

Is that where you used to live in San Francisco ?

.

It is a good thing to say that you found somewhere (SF) more expensive than you wished to pay ... etc.

.

People often have great difficulty do/saying this; some people pay too much for houses and their lifestyle suffers, just to be nervously close to some icon thing, that they don't need.

.

Much happiness to you in your different location.

Mahalo !

[macilak]

Yes you put it well. SF is a great city but it is way too expensive to live there. A lot of people live or want to live there solely for the reason so they can say they live there... BUT it does not mean they are happy or happier than anybody else. The city is expensive and the job market is not very favorable either. I moved to another city where I was able to buy a house which I could have never ever done in SF, just like a lot of other people.

[MoilAndToil]

Dear maci.,

That is so interesting -when you say ... "so they can say they live there ...".

.

When ever I hear this I aways try to ask the speaker (not you) just exactly who is it they are preparing themselves to be able to say this to?

.

When I first saw San Francisco, I wondered what it was that made a city -any city, look the way it did, including painted ladies and opera house on the harbour, etc.,(Sydney).

Cheers.

[macilak]

For those who live there... Sorry to say but .. in my experience generally Northern Californians think they are better and happier than anyone else because they live in an area that is beautiful. However, beauty is not everything: no matter how beautiful your surrounding are you can still be unhappy, miserable and poor.

[sattvicwarrior]

Dear macilk. you QUITE right. you say...

"in my experience generally Northern Californians think they are better and happier than anyone else because they live in an area that is beautiful. " thast 100 % RIGHT ON . I have lived here for the last 50 years and its the most beautiful place on earth . ... the " unhappy nouve riche miserable and poor that y ou speak of live in the vast

wasteland of plastic called SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ...

[macilak]

Yes I agree Northern California is only for the happy and the rich.

[amorach]

@macilak The happy and the rich? Seriously? I've lived here all my life and I can tell you that not everyone is happy and even less are rich. Did you ever travel to the central valley? Woodland? Dunnigan? Corning? Hamilton City?

[itsadryheat11]

@macilak happy and rich don't always walk hand in hand.

[macilak]

@sattvicwarrior Yes that is the exact SAME attitude that I came across. I have heard your "story" so many times :)

[amorach]

@macilak Not all of Northern California is beautiful (Central Valley?). And trust me, most people here don't think they're better than everyone else. It's often the opposite.

[chompychomps]

It's not Northern Californians that think that just people who live in Marin County. :)

[naftowaa]

I love San Francisco, someday, i'll be there! ;d

[rumaz22]

I love SF, I think is THE place in the world

[teletubbyslayer]

anyone who lives in sanfrancisco can tell you that the city is definitaly not spoiled. when was the last time you took a walk into the haight, or the mission, or the tenderloin etc etc etc. It is an expensive city i will grant you, but you making a gross generalization.

[M3xicanxXxRaccoon]

yea mission is a bitch but i love the people and its so hard to drive there bruh (traffic)

[theseriousatheist]

SF is very spoiled, very expensive stuffs, not for me.

[GeneralHospitalmob]

i actually think you made a good choice leaving san fran. the bay area is expecting a huge 7.2 quake in the next 30 years at the oakland vaunt line. that was said in 2000. i suppose we still have 22 years to prepare ourselves for the big one.

[hihrd1]

was stationed on treasure island (navy) when it had frigates and minesweepers almost 20 years ago... going back next month! great post btw

[egorov14]

I´m 15 and i live in Estonia ,someday i´m gonna live in San Francisco , I WILL !

Love this down ... just a dream and im gonna make it true..

Just seeing this video makes me feel great.. nice that theres such a place on earth!

bw..thänkss for the vid :)

[Vaurena]

Great job!

I'm 15 years old and come from Germany..

and I would love to be and to live there!

I hope someday it'll be true...

[DrMengele2]

SF is a total waste of time, believe me I lived in the Bay Area for 3 years - totally sucks...

[khawerrabbani]

I was there from June 07 to Sept 07... Since then I am in Love with SF... I will go there again.. When? that I don't know yet.. :(

[tc123123]

ahh i live there!~ =D

[HYPHYintheclub]

[lenagomezfan123]

[OrgasmoDivine]

[hastalapasta69]

[henkschutte]

most beautifull piece of earth

[LCDG24tt]

man i LOved our vaction from her in Tampa to S.F its alot different though cause of the mountians and hills.Still a beutiful place to live in though...

[britsinsf]

Nice Job! Loved your still/video mix of this wonderful city.

[ninameINU]

I love this video! Great job! We are planning a trip from Chicago to San Francisco in May 2010. I can't wait till then. But your vid is helping! ;)

[setinfrance]

Cool Video!! Who is the sound track by?? nice tune!

[macilak]

Bruce Sprinsteen: Maria's Bed (Devils and Dust album).

[TFF1963]

Very beatuiful place.

Congratulations for the music. It was a smart choice.

[iwanagaa1919]

San Francisco is liberal and expensive, but otherwise great, and the buses aren't any worse than those in any other large city.

[sphinxrising58]

Wonders why it is so expensive to live in a city where at least a 1/3 of it is built over the ruins of the 1905 earthquake & will be the first area to crumble when another quake hits ?

[NotADood]

Everything is retrofitted the hell out of. If you're on bedrock, you should be okay.

I don't know why anyone would buy a place in the Marina district though.

[sphinxrising58]

I was watching a documentary about the marina, where they took old ships & sank them in place, dumped all the quake debris & dirt over it to build on, but a recent dig unearthed the remains of one of the ship's remains, pretty cool.

[dicanio150]

nice video. hope i get to move back to sf soon

[77musica]

The worse part about the city now is the fucking yuppies shitheads and the trendy assholes!!! It used to be a nice family oriented city!!!

[willzville1988]

LOL. I'm pretty sure having yuppies and 'trendy assholes' is suppose to be a good thing. Any city can be a family oriented city, but it takes advancement to be san fran.

[SilentKillah4Sho]

only bad thing about san francisco is the wierd people on the bus and some bums that are drunk all the time not all but smoe other than that its fun btw i live in SF

[macilak]

No offense but those weird people are the real people. If you drive you have a very sheltered experience.

[xb70valkrey]

you mean the city? then it's sausilito

[007deMafia]

wats the state accross the san francisco bridge??

[macilak]

Not sure if I understand your question right.. please restate.

[007deMafia]

accros that big red bridge. san francisco is in california, wats the STATE after california??

[ktsai7484]

Across the Golden Gate Bridge, it's Marin county , still in California. probably still 300 miles away from California-Oregon border.

[muvveroffour]

whats the soundtrack??

[IGORIGOR125]

SF - its' wonderfull city ! Thanks for a video!

[mileyhannahfankelly]

Nice SF footage.

[TranceAddict2088]

how would you get to san francisco from Irvine (Orange Country)

[LeChave]

going next month, can't wait. part of a 10 day road trip me and a mate are undertaking: start & finish in San Francisco, in-between taking in Vegas, Grand canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite & Sacramento.. we're gonna be dead at the end!!!

[winec00ler]

[25jennie]

[newyorkperry]

I lived in the white apartment building at 2:20 in 1957. Wish I had never left San Frisco.

[Jijiko1]

[vica79]

[mnty855]

Thanks for the drive through fantastic, I've never been to the U.S. It looks great and the music is gr8t too.

[macilak]

Thanks for all your comments!

Already two people asked me what the song is in my video, so I thought I post it in here in case anyone else wonders : )

It's "Maria's Bed" by Bruce Springsteen (Album: Devils & Dust)

[userrrr12345]

i miss SF so much. see you soon!!!

[korntwist1]

yo se que llegare a ese lugar, puedo sentirlo

[grudger]

[coolpapa73]

just got back from SF this last week, I absolutely love it there

[atrem0]

I live here in SF, and I'm still discovering places about it.

[redsoxMurphy]

Nice job! I like the way the drive ends much like it begins. Thanks for posting your work.

[jjfoster76]

I agree with profittlich; I moved to Atlanta for a job two years ago. I miss The City every day.

[smithcarljr]

I moved from Atlanta to SF!! I can't imagine ever going back.

[mactoreality]

truly one of the best places in the world...thanks for bringing me back!! San Francisco i miss you.

[profittlich]
