Amazing pictures, for the 1000th time. I'm guessing you don't get tired of hearing that though.

I'd take some real, down to earth people over the classist, overprententious yuppies/hipsters and associated faux liberals anyday.
Montreal, Berlin, NYC and Buenos Aires are the only cities I feel are truly cut out for me.

LOL, they do not! SF's people remind me most of the types you'd find on the Westside and recently gentrified locales such as Silverlake (near the reservoir and Gelsons's/Trader Joes) -- hardly emblematic of the city as a whole. Also, how the people in SF look the same as us in LA is beyond me. How can the people of SF look the same as us Angelinos when LA is 60+ % Hispanic, lol? By contrast, SF is far more uniformly white; make that, white & upscale.

Dude...you've been to SF for a grand total of a couple weeks combined so far, right? Just give it some time and check out more areas and people before you make a judgement on the entire population (though i agree hipsters and yuppies can kiss my ass by and large...but they're hardly emblematic of SF as a whole either). Also, i'm curious as to what felt sterile or prefabricated to you. Those are two words that i've never heard to describe SF. Regardless, kick ass photos, and can't wait to see what else you come up with once you move up here.
