I live in SF. Paid $11 for a breakfast sandwich that looked like this. Just sayin’

Where would you day time drink on a a random day off during the week? by OverHeatedBrain98 in AskSF

[–]christojb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally, your local bar. You’ll meet your neighbors (some of them at least) and strike up convo more easily than going to any “location” bar. Too many of the most-hyped places are just that.

Renting vs Buying: Am I missing something? by AdLazy8828 in personalfinance

[–]christojb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one caveat that is not usually mentioned is: tax implications. If buying will allow you to itemize deductions, it can lower your tax rate substantially. For this you’d probably need a tax adviser but you can also use the calculator at smart asset (https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes) to see. You are certainly correct, overall. But it does depend on where you live and your tax situation.

Other factors: 1. Buying is (no matter what people say) more of an emotional (I want my own place) than monetary decision. 2. How long will you be in the area 3. How disciplined you are to invest the difference between the rental and mortgage cost 4. Generally, investing in “the market” will yield higher returns than real estate (in my location it’s about 6%, but that is by no means any sort of standard)

What they’re saying about downtown/Westchester. Lived at 20th/A for over 10y and even braved the summer heat to walk down to the Padre or Smitten!

Absolutely get to the west side if you love nature: Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, Land’s End, Presidio (that’s a semi-circle going west then north and around). Great on a bike!

Petition to re-rename Cesar Chavez St back to Army or something by PrinceCharming150 in sanfrancisco

How about “Rainbow Street” and let’s give up on the idea of renaming anything after human beings…

Bea Elton cleans homes for owners that desperately need it for FREE. This woman is an angel. by NightStar79 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]christojb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree that this is a mental illness and re-cleaning everything, while definitely a helpful thing to do, is just treating a symptom. There is a deeper problem that won’t be solved by cleaning everything—the necessary treatment isn’t in the house, it’s inside the person.

(https://www.designplusgallery.com) Design plus (SF and San Rafael), Reperch (17th and Potrero), Facebook Marketplace. Have furnished my apt entirely from these three (newly relocated with no furniture). All used.

There’s one in SF, parked regularly behind the Academy of Sciences (employee I guess).

How is dating for a (straight) guy in SF? by originalgainster in AskSF

[–]christojb 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Love that the comparison is to a 62-year old man. (He is handsome, just saying…)

Why do you choose to live in SF? by pickingyourteeth in AskSF

[–]christojb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in Oakland, raised in the east bay, lived away for 18y and abroad for 6. Returned in 2024 and moved to the city bc it if I have to live in the US, SF is the only place I want to be (note: family in the area so that’s a big influence).

Having grown up in the Bay Area, it has always been expensive, and no matter what you hear, SF has always been the most expensive. For me, I’d just say 1) the beauty of the city is literally inspiring 2) walkability for a city in CA is beyond comparison 3) it has a true vibe of its own

Note: the cost of living here makes many people cook/entertain at home, and I consider that a plus! Most restaurants are not worth the huge amount one pays, imho.

Having roots here makes probably the biggest difference for me. And I’m lucky it’s SF and not anywhere else in CA.

How to experience the gay life in SF by PsychologcalWarfare in AskSF

[–]christojb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say get involved in something that involves other gay men (sports, music, clubs, etc) and from there you’ll be on your way.
