Downtown SF is fun to walk around in. It makes one feel down right normal compared to the locals. It is a neat place to visit but I am sure gland I don't have to live there.
From what I hear almost all the police, firefighters, and city employees can't afford to live there.
I do remember in 1967 going down to Haight-Ashbury area. We were moving from Oklahoma to Hawaii and I had never heard of a hippy. I looked up the word in our Encyclopedia Britannica year book and the definition was "One who is hip" which did not help me much. When I saw them in person I just knew they were quite different and it did not appeal to me at all. We shopped in the poster shops and walked around a bit.
