    "History. I live in a cottage built in 1875. The neighborhood would be great if it was more neighborly. It has a homeless issue that needs the city to clean up. "

    "My neighborhood has easy access to public transit. I work from home so my commute is pretty quick lol. But when I did, downtown was just 30min walk. The walk is usually pretty safe. However I am a 238lb 6’ black man so you may have a different experience. "

    "Nice neighborhood. Very quiet and pretty. Not as many homeless here as the hills are too challenging for them most likely🙃"

    "Seems like lots of dog owners live in this area. May not like the fact that there aren't many grassy patches like living in the suburbs. "

    "Getting downtown is easy either walking or by bus, but getting back can be a slog with the hill. Some hills are steep enough to be problematic walking down, too."

    "no trash cans for blocks. I get it, it sucks. Go to a city council meeting. Stop leaving your dog poop bags all over our streets. Where's the dignity? Dogs everywhere, which I love, but the owners have become complacent due to the lack of city garbage cans. Time for a change. Speak up, tell the district supervisor. Something! I'm leaving because I'm fed up."

    "Lots of transients coming up the hill from the Tenderloin. Trash everywhere. Dog owners through poop bags wherever. No trash cans anywhere nearby. Lots of traffic. Lots of construction. Young people drink heavily and often fight verbally at loud, obnoxious levels on the weekend nights. Very scarce parking. SFMTA does not mess around with ticketing. "

    "This is a 55 plus neighborhood. Children can visit, but there aren’t any who live here. I wouldn’t walk anywhere at night, being a single woman. This is a good area though, and seems as safe as any!!"

    "It's a residential area with mostly apartments, a walkable neighborhood that's close to the Financial District and Union Square. We have Grace Cathedral, and the cable cars on California Street are often empty."

    "Because it's so central, there are tons of options for commuting from Nob Hill. I can walk if I'm feeling sporty in the morning (all those hills are a workout!). I can call a Lyft or Uber and get downtown in less than 15 minutes. I can also grab the cable car if I'm feeling adventurous."
