SF

Before I went to SF, I was
concerned about having a lack of
friends there, but that has been
dispelled by the last 2 trips.
Friends won't be a problem, although
a boyfriend may still be a challenge.
Problems:
2nd most crowded[crowded highlighted in yellow] city in US.
No easy access to restaurants.
Hard to park anywhere.[highlighted in yellow]
Not warm; not enough skin(likeLA)[not warm highlighted in yellow]
Too many leather & SM bars
Lots of ugly, tired queens (twinpeaks bar.)
Castro is dirty[dirty highlighted in yellow]
Expensive for most people [inserted arrow] low STD of living.[highlighted in yellow]
Too cloudy
Few parks
No pretty neighborhoods with views [inserted text above- very little
underground wiring; inserted text below- torn-up streets; inserted text
beside list- SF doesn't solve my winter weather problem. Cloudy Sundays.]

Advantages:
Places to go on weekends (Tahoe, Yosemt, Carmel, R.River Napa Valley
Lots of gay friends (but influenced by env't)gay friends highlighted in yellow]
Good gym & I Beam on Sundays [ highlighted in yellow] [inserted bracket beside these two with side note-But that's only advantage over Seattle- with arrow pointing to good gym]
Interesting geography
The big question is whether I'd
like living in the city. It's very crowded, and by a lot of trashy
ugly, [inserted text- japs& blacks]poor[inserted text- ex-hippie] people.[highlighted in yellow] And weather
is not inspiring usually.
