Makes some good points on why SF is becoming duller and less fun by the day. Funny too.

SF has plenty of free music events, fairs, and natural beauty and outdoor attractions.

What about the annual jazz festival in Stern Grove? I tend to run into free events when and where I least expect them, like free concerts at the Embarcadero restaurant/shopping centers. The city has great film festivals. Roller skating in Golden Gate Park on Sundays, when the park is closed. People who think SF is dull are people who lack imagination.

Part of the problem is that any event held after dark will eventually become violent.

I think much of San Francisco has a different idea of fun than this guy. He should move to LA.

I guess Europe also seems to have a "different idea" of fun than SF. I guess he should move there too.

*Everybody* has a different idea of fun than San Francisco. Making it boring.

In the four months I've been here, I have not been bored a single second between things to do in SF, Oakland, and Berkeley.

Actually, my absolute favorite thing to do is just walk around and take pictures for hours at a time.

Funny. It's not boring to people in the Bay Area.

For the most expensive city in the country, SF is severely lacking in certain areas, namely nightlife. But like others have said, one can always move to somewhere better.
