San Francisco is becoming a deeply unpleasant place to visit across the board. Large parts of the city stink of human refuse. The downtown core is a corporate wasteland. The other half of the city is a NIMBY wasteland. The public transit is embarrassing. Everyone is grumpy and pretentious. You don't feel safe walking across town alone.
It's a city that seems to hate itself. It is constantly offering you a protective bubble - private cars, bars on rooftops, an apartment with a doorman.
It seems the only people who earnestly enjoy SF are those who can afford to maintain their own world somewhere in it.
