[QUOTE="Akrasia, post: 1859936, member: 23012"] I have lived here for 3 years now. The place is overrated. But then I am Canadian, and think that anywhere other than Toronto or Montreal (or New York or London ... if pressed) is overrated. ;) For a very negative (even by my standards) but nonetheless [I]funny [/I] take on the Bay Are (including, of course, SF) see: [url]http://www.nickdenton.org/docs/mtmar02.htm[/url] The best quote from that article: "Supposedly cosmopolitan, San Francisco is in fact a collection of separatist ghettos. Mexicans live in the Mission, Gays live in the Castro, Chinese out in Sunset, and transient yuppies in the Marina; and they avoid eachother as much as possible. The city is entirely lacking in glamour. The old money is inbred, and the new money is too geeky. The pretty people are in Los Angeles or Miami; the intellectuals are in New York; and the carpetbaggers left as quickly as they came. San Francisco's Clift must be the only Ian Schrager hotel where visitors pitch up with their tradeshow tote bags. Culturally, the city is still eating out on its reputation as home to Beat writers such as Allen Ginsburg. That was nearly fifty years ago now. In the meantime, San Francisco has produced Danielle Steel, and that is about it. Of the wilder writers I know, most have moved down to Los Angeles, which is warmer and cheaper and, believe it or not, culturally far more vibrant." Hope your game goes well! :cool: [/QUOTE]
