GAH!!! Use your feet dammit!
Nothing gets my goat more than laziness and bitching about where you are currently living.
San Francisco is not like New York City so accept it.
They may both be major cities, but they are on different coasts and have different lifestyles.
Things work differently here. Enjoy the city for what it is and stop bitching about what it's not.
Or leave.
I have purposely chosen to use walking as my main form of transportation.
I do this for a variety of reasons:
1. I chose not to bring my car. The hills here are brutal on your brakes.
2. I'm close enough to everything that I can walk.
3. I can't afford to do the monthly transit pass. So I only take the bus when I need to.
$1.50 a ride isn't bad [esp. with transfers].
4. I'm trying to lose weight...so walking is good for me.
Ne who...San Francisco [the major parts of the city] are within a 3 mile radius.
So when a person says they have to take a taxi to get 1 mile...I get a tiny bit frustrated.
You would rather pay money or not go somewhere than take your feet and use them.
Sigh..
As for the comment that everything in San Francisco closes down at 7pm.
Do you ever venture beyond the Financial District?
Because most of the stores near me are open at least until 9pm or 10pm the latest and I live near Union Square [the heart of the action].
The financial district, however, shuts down when people go home--except for the restaurants and bars.
SO take your feet and walk.
Rant over.
