Is San Francisco, California a good place to live? How is the quality of life?

Living in San Francisco requires a high tolerance for contradiction. Parts of it are beautiful beyond belief; others are slums filled with derelicts and discarded trash. These wildly different neighborhoods often sit directly adjacent to each other. Living in any part of the city requires accepting surroundings, expectations, and contexts which constantly shift suddenly and without warning.
San Francisco is a beautiful city with an abundance of culture and history, as exemplified by its incredible collection of diverse neighborhoods. Since the rise of the technology bubble over the last two decades, however, economic inequality has risen to the point where homeless people live in tents right outside of luxury condominiums owned by wealthy, young entrepreneurs. Therefore, caution is recommended when navigating the streets of San Francisco alone, especially at night, in areas such as the Tenderloin.
