The Neighborhoods of San Francisco

[RaiKonCA]

Hey. DId you know that Video Taping/Recording a Restaurant or a local butcher can get you arrested? And if your unlucky kidnapped. On every window, it says "Please do not record!" Assuming thats why your standing across the street out of plain view.

[SeraphimFenrir]

Thinkng about moving to San Francisco. Where should I settle at first to get a footing?

[TheSololobo]

Yes San Francisco is pretty but the people are smug and stuck up not to mention racist. As a liberal I thought I was coming home to my conrades but all I encountered was indifference and aloofness - I miss my home, I miss the south, where the people are honest and warm.

[chrystalsims55]

@TheSololobo ,,,,I don't know how you can say they are racists there? Aside from NYC, it's the most multicultural city around. Everyone stays to themselves, and could care less what you do, and mind their own business. It's the coolest place to live! I'm from Texas and yes, I missed it, and came home... I was homesick. But I made some really good friends there, and did some awesome stuff there! I go back and visit every chance I get!

[TheSololobo]

@chrystalsims55 Well there were more than several instances in which I felt the very intentional and deliberate disdain and contempt for my hispanic heritage in which I did nothing.But there was one occasion in which I interfered;it involved a hispanic family that wanted to go to alcatraz and the man refused to help them because they didn't speak clear enough english- which was a lie, he was just picking on them.I lost it and called him out on it in front of the whole place- he said nothing.

[dkson619]

man san fran. is the best and should be honor

[19Slim68]

Where's the Embarcadero?

[mignon888]

I guess the 6th St. Corridor is not good enuff to mention lol

[fozzyruler1312000]

I want visit San Francisco someday and also hopefully too move out there and live late in my 30's.

[lukebccb]

The Mission district is being turned into a "uber-kewl" 20-something whites "uber-kewl" district........ which means the Mexicans/Central Americans are being priced out.

Want to see real "hispanic" "latino" district? Get on BART and go to the Fruitvale station. No you will not get jumped......

[luverdude]

SAN FRANCISCO SEE YOU THIS SUMMER!

[bunnysurfer26]

Forgot the Heart of SF. The Tenderloin

[IlRezzonico]

@bunnysurfer26 that's not the heart - it's the gaping asshole

[atfatw]

that broad should hive her little boney ass over to folsom street festival where she can parade her skinny little self all over in the nude and get her ass paddled!

[atfatw]

[nandofrm]

San Fierro [=

[alwayson09]

How could they forget The Castro! 

[FundedByTheMob]

@alwayson09 casrto sucks

[RedroomStudios]

@alwayson09 I guess they didnt want to offend Rick Perry.

[Isreal4realz]

@alwayson09 i believe they were specifically forgotten.. and for good reason.

[Eduardo151515]

actually i live in san francisco and i was born and raise in san francisco!!! and is not that san francisco is homophobe is that people hate gays more in san francisco than another palces!! i have seen gay try to be them self in other Neighborhoods out of Castro and people look at them so bad with mean mugs in there face!

[WatchmenNo1]

Nut house capital of the world.

[jadplaya]

i want to move to cali some day...

[Eduardo151515]

@jadplaya why

[jadplaya]

@Eduardo151515 to see what its like new surroundings also for the weather

[Eduardo151515]

@jadplaya just dont go to the hood! and the weather sometimes is wired! sometimes is rainning them the sun come out!

[jadplaya]

@Eduardo151515 If i move to cali i certainly wont be going to any hood of any kind . i want to move mainly because of the weather coz im from london and we literally have 30 days of sun all year lol. i really like the idea of moving to cali on the basis of you can live in cities with almost all year round sun and a beach which is good enough for me.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

@Eduardo151515

lol. that is what it is like in Georgia.

it could be freezing cold in the morning, hot at noon and raining by the afternoon : /

[Eduardo151515]

@BabyGirlGoddess haha that exact like out here in the city!!

[BabyGirlGoddess]

@Eduardo151515

haha. that's..odd.

it's like almost four seasons in a day.

i guess if i do end up moving to San Francisco, I would be use to the weird weather patterns.

[Eduardo151515]

@BabyGirlGoddess why would u want to move over here? lol

[BabyGirlGoddess]

@Eduardo151515

i dont know really.

i am honestly thinking against it because it is freaking expensive and i dont want to be broke.

i think i just need a change from living in Georgia since i lived here all my life. time to experience something new.

[Eduardo151515]

@BabyGirlGoddess lol not realy just rent a room in the hood lol and yea i was thinking the same way u are but i dont even have a job lol

[BabyGirlGoddess]

@Eduardo151515

lol. well i am use to living in bad places. so i would be use to it.

dont feel bad, i dont have a job either,lol.



[ToNGanStuNNa650]

@BabyGirlGoddess dont move to san francisco, it's way too expensive; other than that its real nice!

[onefourthchinese]

I'm moving there in January to start college!

[Eduardo151515]

@onefourthchinese why

[BradNMarty]

Went to SF on my honeymoon (from Kentucky). I love San Francisco! Walked through many neighborhoods and realized what America is supposed to be like--a melting pot in a land of opportunity!!! Went to the Mission District, Chinatown and SOM--and saw AMERICA in all of it. Great city with denizens who are PROUD of their town.

[BabyGirlGoddess]

i want to move to San Francisco when i'm older.

that is one of my goals...

[Eduardo151515]

@BabyGirlGoddess why?

[ispinintights]

haha i guess the sunset isn't that popular with tourists

[animalkindness]

San franciscans are not homophobic at all, san francisco is a beautiful place!

[Eduardo151515]

@animalkindness most of san francisco is homophobic

[animalkindness]

@Eduardo151515 Actuallny San francisco isnt homophobic, I lived there. Youve never lived in san francisco have you? Im sure your hoping they hate gays because your a homophobe yourself, or maybe your from Oakland, the city right next outside of san francisco?

Either way Ive been to all the surrounding cities of san francisco & they are the most open minded than any other city in the uneducated thuggish USA

[BAYAREA4150]

@animalkindness actually SF is the most twisted city in the world

[UGLYFATASSREPUBLICAN]

2:02 what a hoser bitch.

[brazilnews]

what do you even do in haight and ashbury ? just shop and stuff? what is there to do?

[kayacatchafire]

@brazilnews first you should smoke some chronic, then stroll around admiring the beautiful victorian architecture, then you could have a picnic on alamo square, later visit amoeba records, then you could stroll through golden gate park where there are numerous sporting/outdoor activities in the park, maybe ride a bicycle, go then there's shopping, and eating, and lots of bars. the upper haight ashbury is very touristy and often overcrowded, but lower haight has some cool spots to hit as well.

[animalkindness]

san francisco is an oasis in the boring blan USA!

been to USA , been to texas houston, austin etc and san francisco was the only withstandable place!

[kidcuddi123]

@animalkindness

Somebody needs a hug and friends. You can't say USA is boring when you went the the most boring cities there. Have you tried San Diego, New York, Miami, Los Angeles,Philidelphia, Key West?

[TheSal702]

I love SF,god bless (also the narrorater is cuite!!!)

[davidpup415]

I love how we have every single type of ppl

[sammysf415]

i born and raised in sf and i know all the gays here wernt born here, they come from west hollywood with the snobby attitude

[thtktgrl]

I'm thinking about moving to San Francisco. What are the safest neighborhoods there?

[cgfootball30]

@thtktgrl Hunters Point or Sunnydale

[CasualDude]

@cgfootball30 : lol yea, and if you really want to live upscale, east oakland off international is just the place for you

[tvaddict69]

@CenturianRule i agree, sorry for using the F-word. i'm gay and it just frustrates me that people try to un-gay San Francisco all the time...p.s someone should really flag my comment. bad choice of words, my apologies...I shall mentally replace it with Queerdom.

[tvaddict69]

no castro...are shitting me

we all know san francisco is the capitol of Faggotdom..no offense

[MrChameleon2010]

Wow, Some foreigner must have got her info from Wikipedia. The South of Market is not a district. It is made up of 3 or 4 districts south of market street. It wasn't a "Gay community". Gays made up a small part of it. It was a place for Artist, Dancers, Performing artist, Painters and Musician and Poets to find old factories and warehouses to convert into cheap affordable lofts. The dogpatch (south beach) was an all Irish community as was much of Mission. Gentrification kicked the poor out.

[HaightStreetGroovy]

GROOVY!!!!

[blogegog]

Why no reference to Liza Minelli?

[BurlyBadass]

Warehouses that use to house discount clothing and other merchindise have been converted into gay pornography studios.

[OXOXblair]

i love this city

[Boeu13]

I love San Francisco! Peace, people.

[CuriousGeorge53142]

is this chick in porn?

[walkerth58]

You took a picture of Grace Cathedral, one of the largest Episcopian cathedrals in the world, howver neglectd to mention that.

[swampzoid]

why did they show the financial district pix when talking about south of market?

And why wasn't The Castro mentioned.

[kriseye]

the financial district runs into soma between 1st and 3rd streets.

[415kween]

where sunnydale, tower side, hunters point, etc. at??????????????

[dex1lsp]

How are Victorians trendy? They're more historic than trendy. SF Chinatown is THE largest AND oldest Chinatown outside Asia, not "one of" the oldest and largest. Other than that, this is a pretty good video. Why don't you come out here to the Excelsior or to some of the other areas that the guidebooks always forget about? That would be awesome.

[rnehdp109]

yeah, where's Castro??? that's like one of the defining sf neighborhoods...

[woosah415]

cause its all homos who arent true san franciscans..that district used to be a tough irish nieghborhood but now its hella gay..if u think castro defines sf u are a retard

[rnehdp109]

=(...you called me a retard, im gonna go kill myself now..

[woosah415]

good..or better yet, come to sf and walk around hunters point or visatacion valley (true fukin neighborhoods), they'll suicide u real quick

[workingclasssociety]

your right, all irish used to be there. Too bad. Now they are squeezed out in the inner richmond and sunset

[BatuSmoka808]

yes!

my friends dad (last name:o'brien) said they used to get into fights for fun before the school bus came everyday. but yea now its a gay neighborhood.

[chumtea1111]

@woosah415 i could tell ur from sf probably?.. b/c u say "hella" lol can tell right away.. :)

[swankrecords]

Get your facts correct lady. SF's Chinatown is THE largest Chinatown in the world outside of China. Not "one of the largest in N. America."

[BroodingARTist]

c'mon....no Castro?

[kf6rcktheradioman]

Get yours facts striate the mission deloris is the oldest building in San 1777 in short get it right or don't do it at all!!!

[NightinGal89]

cool. u have an interesting accent, too.

[iwanagaa1919]

Chinatown is a wonderful neighborhood in which to walk around. Plus, you can buy spices at low prices, compared to the prices in the Midwest.

[rvbgrifrules]

@iwanagaa1919 and knives, swords, throwing stars, billy clubs. fire works. crackers. pretty much anything.
