Is SF the most based city to live in, LRC?

The OP listed things that were CLOSE to SF, and that's a valid reason to like SF as far as living there goes.

I could list all day stuff just about SF if you like:

1) Cable cars

2) Hilly, BEAUTIFUL terrain for a city.

3) Gold Gate Bridge.

4) Fisherman's Warf and Ghirardelli Square...for some good food, for people watching, for wildlife watching (Pier 39).

5) AMAZING restaurants with world-class food from all parts of the world.

6) Chinatown.

7) Golden Gate Park.

8) SF Museum of Modern Art.

9) Mission District.

10) Alcatraz.

11) Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

12) Angel Island State Park.

13) Interesting buildings and architecture including of residential homes.

...for starters.

Almost all of your list is touristy dogsh*t.

You also left out the part about The Castro and how the city has let the bushes in Buena Vista park grow back.

What are you talking about? Residents go to these places all the time. West Valley Track Club even meets at GGP every week...many cyclists who live in SF bike across the Golden Gate Bridge and up Hawk Hill every morning...people go running in the Marina and the Presidio regularly... What is there to do in your hometown?

Nonsense.

How many Native San Franciscans have ever bothered to go to Alcatraz or ridden a cable car? Fisherman's Wharf? Chinatown? Ghirardelli Square? Angel Island?

You've been here as a tourist. Big deal. Why are you trying to peddle yourself as a native?

You are the sort of out-of-towner/carpetbagger SF has always had to put up with.

Buena Vista Park is awaiting your drunken homo return. The bushes have all grown back.

WTF does based mean?

This is factually incorrect. Usually people say this when they haven't actually been there. It's a massive city so of course there's some crime and drugs like normal. San Francisco is crazy expensive but it's a great city.
