    "I drive now, but I took public transportation and Muni when I was a kid. I didn't mind taking the Muni trains, and I still occasionally do when I go downtown. I do think the cost of public transportation is outrageous. If I'm not going downtown, I travel everywhere else in the vicinity by motor vehicle."

    "Great area for dog owners! There’s Golden Gate Park, Ocean Beach, Sunset Blvd, the Great Highway, and Fort Funston- all good places to walk your dog. Just be aware that there are Coyotes and to be cautious. Usually not a threat to other dogs."
