I've lived and worked in SF. Thankful that I'll probably never have another work-related reason to go back. SF is marked deprecated in my eyes.

It’s easy to pile onto articles that highlight some of the city’s mismanagement, but San Francisco is one of the most naturally beautiful places in the country. If you’re out on the west side by Golden Gate Park, Baker Beach or the Presidio it feels like you’re in a nature movie.

Even with all of its problems, I will always love that city.

I live in SF and honestly I don't see it. Any city in Europe is much more pretty, I was in Medellin this month and it's much more pretty as well.

SF to me is just empty, cold, and only has big roads for cars.

I agree with you, but that has nothing to do with the city’s management though. SF is a tragedy considering all of its natural gifts.

It's hit or miss. I find large swaths of the Outer Sunset desolate and depressing. Places like this: https://goo.gl/maps/QQbarT8iGEqLfNuN6

Agree. Much of the Richmond/Sunset is quite flat and doesn't exhibit the natural beauty of other parts of SF.

There are tons of naturally beautiful places up and down the Californian coast; San Francisco is just one of them.

Or on the top of any hill (Russian Hill, Nob Hill, Potrero Hill, Bernal Heights, etc. etc. etc.)

Yes, I loved GG park on weekends, but that's about it. I'm very sick of working there or even visiting. It did not improve since I left.

Golden Gate Recreation is working to mess all that up.
