    "most things are on my doorstep, shops, groceries and public transportation. Rent is high, parking is a nightmare, but if you don't need a car to commute to work and don't mind some riff-raff walking around on occasion. its great...pubs and bars and restaurants are amazing, variety and convenience at its best."

    "full of homeless people during the day and especially at nights. Also hokers, not that much during day, but full of them at nights. its very dirty, all done by homeless people, they just go to the trash can and star taking garbage out and throwing it on the street and sidewalk"

    "Don’t let your kids walk around alone. There are hundreds of highly mentally unstable people whose behaviors can be unpredictable, threatening, and dangerous. The neighborhood has been in steep decline"

    "If you live in this area you don’t need to have a car. Easy walk to union square, Chinatown, north beach and other great attractions. Many restaurants to choose from and plenty of shops to go to."

    "I love the diversity and dynamic nature of the neighborhood. There's lots of activity, like the farmers' market on Sundays. And I like the hole-in-the-wall places for their authentic gritty vibe."

    "There is a wealth of local flavor to be had in the polk gulch area. There is a little something for everyone here. Some rough folks here on the streets so still be mindful, but still lots of good times had here"

    Downtown, San Francisco
    "I lived in the Lower Nob Hill area for 2 years. What I loved was waking up to city life every day. Bush St is super busy most of the day/night, so you can feel the hustle and bustle of people and cars. The energy this creates is amazing! I lived a few blocks from Union Square and one street over from the cable cars. I had the best market next door at Bush and Mason! Even though prices were a little higher than a Trader Joe's, the convenience and the nice owners made it worth it! Having a car is challenging in this area due to limited parking; however, I kept my car in a 24/7 garage a couple of blocks down. The service was there was awesome, and I had complete peace of mind. I have a small dog, so we often climbed the hills to Grace Cathedral to enjoy the park. Walking around Union Square, Nob Hill, and Chinatown was fun and full of history and charm. And, I worked in SOMA so my 20 min walk to work made life easy."
