As someone who's not American and had a couple of job opportunities to move to San Francisco, I'm glad not to have done it.

What kind of hellhole is that city? I had an impression it was extremely expensive but also very wealthy. The more I hear the worse it seems.

It's expensive because of the concentration of wealth, not the quality of the area. There's a ton of crime, homelessness, car break ins, etc.

People often leave their car doors unlocked or their windows down to prevent their windows from being broken, but instead they find random people sleeping in their cars.

On the plus side, the weather there is quite nice.
