I live in Ohio. The farthest west I've ever been is New Mexico and only for a few days. I normally just go on vacation to Cape Cod or Fripp Island. I think it'd be cool to visit San Francisco sometime, though.

You said it first!! You live on Nob Hill, better known to the locals as Snob Hill. You're sheltered from the (ghetto's of SF) and yes they DO have their areas. When's the last time you were in the Excelsior district.-hanging about? Yeah. OK... Stay happy!!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I live in Nob Hill in one of the nicest areas in the city and I pay $1,100 a month...that's nothing. Also, gang activity in SF is so laughable it's funny, try LA, NY, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, etc etc and you'll see much, much worse.
