"Yes, Washington square park is great for dogs. Always lots of dogs there! Dogs are allowed off leash."

"Walkable (or bike/scooter) to FiDi, Embarcadero, and Union Square neighborhoods, will likely need to take public transit for anything further"

"Easy commute to the Financial District, especially for market hours. A quick zip to 101 of you beat rush hour! It’s not bad at all"

"15ish minute walk to fort mason, Alice marbles has a decent area for dogs. I wish there were more trash cabs "

"Russian Hill is home to many family owned businesses and restaurants. It feels safe and has a sense of community."

"It's relaxing and has a lot of good schools."

"I've lived in the Fisherman's Wharf/lower Russian Hill area for 26 years. The scenery is beautiful-- Fort Mason, Aquatic Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Marina Blvd. Iconic Fisherman's Wharf and Ghiardelli Square are here. The SF Opera, Ballet, and Symphony Hall are reachable by bus (or foot, depending on how much one likes to walk). The area is alive, vibrant, and very convenient with several large grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, post offices, restaurants, fitness centers, and boutique stores, you name it, all within easy walking distance. Many bus lines run through the area. You don't need to have a car in this part of San Francisco. Several wonderful neighborhoods are reachable by foot, including the Marina, North Beach and Chinatown. Several good shopping districts are both walkable and also accessible by bus including Union Square, Union Street/Chestnut Street in Cow Hollow, and the Polk Street shopping district . There is a relatively smaller homeless population here, although this is an issue everywhere in the city. On the down side, there is a lot of traffic congestion, bicyclists on the walking paths, limited parking, and , overall noise and dirt. These issues have been worsening in recent years. And, there is less of an actual neighborhood feel here since we are in between established neighborhoods, and incorporate so much of the tourist area. There are few single family houses. Most of the housing consists of rent-controlled apartment buildings . As the older, long term residents die, younger people move in and out often due to the high prices of rentals. "
