Is Frisco the most overrated place on earth? (San Francisco, Santa Rosa: neighborhoods, shop)

What's the big deal about the weather? On-shore winds push the marine layer onto the peninsula in the late spring and early summer, creating foggy and chilly conditions. This isn't news. In a few hours, it will burn off, and you'll get your sun.

You need to realize that just because YOU don't like foggy weather doesn't mean that other people don't. Not everyone feels just like you Andy..not everyone is depressed about being in the City. I don't know anyone from the entire Bay Area region that would tell you it was 75degrees year round in the City...that's a flat out lie.

Nobody's forcing you to live in such misery. You spend so much of your day complaining yet San Francisco hasn't changed for Andy. It never will. Break your lease and move already so we can be rid of you here. Time to grow up and stop blaming everyone else..YOU are only a victim of yourself.

Isn't Frisco a town in Texas? Geez, who outside of my grandfather's generation ever called SF "Frisco"? It's freakin' 2010, dude...

Anyways, no place is perfect, and any place can seem "overrated" if you're a mindless, lazy lump who never brings anything to the experience and who passively waits to be entertained or wowed by someone or something else.

Yeah, SF is dirty. All cities tend to be fairly dirty. I agree that SF is dirtier than most, and the types of dirt (human and dog feces everywhere) are particularly troublesome and problematic, but that's a function of the usual our-minds-are-so-open-our-brains-fell-out liberal idiot syndrome infecting most native San Franciscans. That's a people thing.

The city, however, is a jewel. It is set into what has to be one of the most beautiful locations in the world. There are great restaurants in which you can enjoy almost every cuisine imaginable.

The rest is up to you -- you choose your activities, your friends, your attitude.

I am depressed early morning to see this pathetic weather. Fortunately, I will be in south bay over the weekend- I will never buy a house in "Frisco" even if someone pays me to do so! Yes, this place is way way overrated!

I have lived there and done that. The best time for 'Frisco', is the fall.....gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

If you do not like fog, don't move to Pacifica....it rolls in ever day promptly at 3:00.

And to the op, and others with no class, Frisco is a town in another state....I believe it's Colorado.....

Yes, it is. Sweet little mountain town just up I-70 from where I live now.

Well, heck, I just checked: Frisco is in both states.....and maybe there are more, too. I just know there isn't a 'Frisco' in California.

This thread has really taken off and has some great posts. I'd rep a lot of people but I am out for the day......

No city is perfect, but San Francisco has such a great history......there is a reason why Tony left his heart there.....
