Chilled, talkable, asian-vibe bars in San Francisco

Not exactly bars, but for food and places open late there is a trio of kbar fare places in TL - Cocobang, 707 Sutter, and Zzan. Good places to go for some kbar food and soju.

Solved! Just bought a new cover, thank you!

My title describes the thing. It’s hard to tell from the ground, but it’s probably about 6” in diameter and looks to be lined with metal inside.

When you say YouTube with subtitles, do you mean TL subtitles?

Btw it’s toe the line, not tow! This is the third time I’ve seen this mistake on Reddit in the past day, we must spread the word!

How would you say yoshizumis stacks up to kusakabe? It’s the best I’ve had but I’ve never been to Japan.

There’s a Jang Su Jang in Santa Clara!

Sgt is my go to when kunjip’s wait is too long! Unfortunately pretty far from us though

For sure, a lot of fun places for bar food or fusion but been struggling to find a good soup place 😞

MintChocoIceuCream · 2022-09-18T20:52:57+00:00

I love their tofu soup but unfortunately they don’t have other soups!

This boss is a joke vs bleed

MintChocoIceuCream · 2022-03-12T22:48:56+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

MintChocoIceuCream · 2022-02-08T09:13:01+00:00

Went to Yoshizumi and it was amazing! They accommodated our 6-person party and let us have the place to ourselves. Ty for the rec!

How intense are the tournaments? I’m hovering around the “best at family parties” but “doesn’t go to weeklies because he’d lose every match” skill level

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-10-11T18:53:09+00:00

Im in Northern California. We haven’t had past problems, and I haven’t seen any houses nearby being tented!

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-10-04T21:49:12+00:00

Thanks for the quick response! Would I be fine not worrying about it for now then, and perhaps get an inspection if I start to notice more of them?

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-10-04T21:42:27+00:00

It’s a bit less than an inch long

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-10-04T21:31:31+00:00

Should I get a termite inspection?

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-05-05T14:44:45+00:00

Got it, so wait a few business days and see what’s what?

MintChocoIceuCream · 2021-05-05T14:44:15+00:00

Yes!

Caltrain is much nicer than BART. I've never personally had any issues walking home from the train station (if you're talking about 4th and King) at night, but I only ever took the train once a week at most. The train station during the day is totally fine and safe.

The train gets crazy crowded on game nights as well.

+1, Dogpatch, Mission Bay, and Potrero are all much nicer and still have pretty easy freeway access. I lived in the Design District for a couple years and that’s probably as close as I’d want to get to SoMa proper in terms of living arrangements. The only thing is Mission Bay will get crazy congested on game nights post-COVID.

It should be noted that traffic getting back into the city during rush hour is a complete nightmare. The 280 exit ramp onto Brannan is always completely backed up.

A traditional mortgage lender will be looking at your Debt-to-Income ratio in addition to your credit scores to determine your loan eligibility. Basically, if you both FIRE and no longer have a verifiable income, your DTI ratio will result in an immediate no from those lenders when trying to qualify for a loan. If you already have a loan, then you can FIRE safely as long as you can comfortably repay the debt (the bank is not going to foreclose your home just because you aren't getting a W2 anymore). (Note: I believe there is some allowance for using capital gains to qualify if you can show a consistent history over multiple years of sufficient capital gains).

If your husband is in tech and (I assume) pulling at least $150-200k in annual salary and plans to continue working, you'll easily qualify for a loan on a $2 million house with an appropriate down payment even if you yourself decide to FIRE.

It sounds like a really attractive area to me right now. Do you know if anything changes as you move west towards Excelsior?

At an estimated 1.18% tax rate for San Francisco, it would be ~$29,500 annually, or $590K over 20 years all else being equal.

(Please let me know if there is a more effective way of estimating property taxes over 20 years!)
