lol speak for yourself. In my opinion, SF gets plenty of sun, and shade is a good thing (i grew up there and used to work outside all day for a living, so i'm pretty familiar with SF's weather), especially to the east of twin peaks, where the fog is less common...and actual weather stats back me up on that. It may have foggy/windy and cool summers (which confuses a lot of visitors, though even foggy days see warm midday sunshine, much of the time), and it may be one the cloudiest big cities in California or compared to the southwest/a desert climate, but it's a pretty sunny place compared to most of America, europe, canada, etc.
But i agree that palm trees are nice.
