ASOLUTELY!!! San Francisco is probably the most beautiful city in the United States, there are no major mountains in San Francisco itself but it is surrounded by higher elevation and there are mountains that are very visual in the near distant like Mt Diablo, Mt Tam. the San Bruno mountains and theres even hills with cliffs on them.

The palm tree fab is catching on, my street which is Dolores street seems to be one of the first city corridors that was lined up with palm trees and the Embarcadero's Herb Cane Lane, AT&T Ball Park and Market Street are aligned with palm trees.

San Francisco has a very attractive skyline tons of tourist visit every year, the food is great here the people are good looking especially the women and theres never a dull moment in San Francisco.

It's a concrete jungle. I mean that in a good way. It depends on the areas. San Francisco brings out all types of beauty.

It's nothing like Beverly Hills though. It's not a must, and by far, I see more eucalyptus and Dutch elms in the northern peninsula and SF than palm trees. The scent is intoxicating when you drive down El Camino Real in Burlingame.

The city itself is dirty and unkept.

The location can be breathtaking.

In some parts the city is dirtier than other parts of town, people here tend to dump their unwanted or broken furniture out in the sidewalks, but yet regardless one can overlook the filth and move on because the city is still very attractive and interesting.

I've been to many cities in the world and I think SF is one of the most beautiful. It and Sidney Australia have magnificent locations.

Much of SF is pretty IMO. For a big city, it's one of the cleaner major cities you'll ever find (well, as long as you avoid the Tenderloin) and BART makes getting around town a little easier. I've always said that SF is Los Angeles done right.

Now, if most SF residents would leave it would be even better.
