I noticed minimum wage in san francisco is higher than other parts of california.

What makes San Francisco such a valued location?

maybe the houses are more expensive and its a pricier place to live so the goverment raises minimun wage so the town mantains a rich sorta feel to it.... I dunno though ive never even had a job before lol

Not sure exactly what you mean by highly valued, but as far as valued from the drug/pot user standpoint, San Francisco was the birthplace of the counter-culture movement back in the 60's and has continued on that path ever since.

If you are referring to the literal "value", as in home prices, mainly due to being in California as most property there is higher priced and again also due to the history of San Fran.

bud, what is awesome about san fran?

I have a opportunity to get paid $1700/month for the next year if I move there due to the percieved military cost of living there.

I only get 1100/month here in San Diego

I live in san Francisco and the reason we demand that people be paid more is because the average person deserves more.
I own my property but there are many who dont and need the income to pay bills, take care of kids, etc etc.
I raised my kids here and have no regrets. I couldnt think of a better place to have raised them. The different cultures, the hundreds of different languages, the food, the schools, are IMO an experiences that all kids should encounter. SF is a beautiful city. The weather is perfect.
SF is a valued location because we are a beautiful city filled with people who genuinely gives hoot about our neighbors and our country.
We are a very tolerant bunch and we dont back down from authority. We believe that the people, not the government, are the authortiy, and that we the people have the last word.
We are a very compassionate city. I wouldnt live any place else....., except maybe Santa Cruz(70 miles down the coast).
You can feel like you are the only person like you in your home town and feel left out, and come to SF and find a thousand people just like you, and others who are ready and willing to embrace your being "different"

Word man, SF and SC are the places to be.

And we get paid more here because it costs more to survive here.

Yes, san fran is amazing. I've heard they have the most medical weed dispensaries, and generally incredible weed.
I went there last summer... it's such a beautiful place. :)

The medicinal cannabis clubs are thriving. Well over 40 of them now, and 6 or 7 within 2-8 blocks of my house. Great cannabis, oils, clones, mother plants, edibles, and many other extracts. The places to eat in the area are also seeing more buisness than usual. Cannabis clubs are an asset to the neighborhood. You really dont see many street level cannabis dealers anymore, which is ok with me.
Let me know if yer ever back this way:thumbsup:

Minimium wage is 8.50$ per hour in San Francisco. I know people that work at fa(s)t food places that make over 10.00$ per hour.

I give guitar lessons based on a sliding scale(translation...you pay what you can afford), but i am actually retired now. (50 years old)

Housing in the San Francisco Bay area is unbelievably expensive compared to the rest of the country. I live in San Jose which is about 45 minutes from San Francisco. My wife and I bought a small home with an incredibly tiny yard(5' of grass between our house and the street) two years ago and for what we paid for it we could have bought a mansion somewhere else. Seriously! And I don't mean the hills of Arkansas, I mean somewhere like Portland, Chicago, etc.

As expensive as it is, I'll never leave. Although I live in the 10th biggest city in the U.S. I am surrounded by mountains. I have access to hundreds of miles of hiking/mnt biking trails within minutes of my house. I can go hiking all day and clubbing all night. The ocean is 45 minutes away and the BIG mountains are 4 hrs away. I could go skiing in the morning and surfing in the afternoon. Most of the year we have sunny skies and avg temps of about 75-80 degrees with no humidity. Plus, Northern California has THE BEST WEED in the country.

'Cause it's purty and diverse and tolerant and full of plenty of nice, left-leaning intelligent people who also happen to earn lots of money and can afford to live there. I adore the place!

A large gay population, combined with other child-free people, creates a higher standard of living.
