San Francisco too expensive, overpriced. If you were in SF, first thing you'd ask is where are all the black people? But if you saw where black people stay in SF, chances are you would want to get out ASAP especially if you found yourself somewhere like Sunnydale.

SF is a shytty city for black people to live. The only places you will see black people in SF are the projects. There isn't a strong professional upwardly mobile black middle class in SF like there is in DC, NYC and ATL. Weather in SF is like October or November back East all year round even in the summer.

Ironically, the ghetto areas in the Bay are often the least racist and least segregated. Especially in the East Bay. Some of this is partially due to gentrification of hoods that used to be blacker. One block you could be in the projects around nothing but nikkas in the Fillmoe but the next block is Japantown. Bay Area folks are hella laid back and cool for the most part and generally aren't haters when it comes to outsiders like other cities and regions. A big part of the culture in the Bay is being yourself and others will support you doing your own thing no matter what that might be. You see shyt in the Bay you won't see anywhere else like blacks and Asians or blacks and Mexicans living side by side in the hood and getting along for the most part and treating each other like family or somewhat tolerating each other's presence at the least. You have Asians who know everything about black ghetto culture from living in the hood and blacks who know everything about Asian and Mexican culture from being surrounded by it there whole lives.

It's ironic that the city that birthed the Black Panthers can often be one of the most racially inclusive places in the world. I live on the East Coast now and race relations here are light years behind the Bay Area inner city.
