🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate it
. I used to go down there and the traffic was crazy during certain special event evenings. MUNI gets backed up and any car traffic... well you can just forget it. . The isolation and lack of people at certain hours was a bit scary. The expansion of UCSF medical complex is adding traffic issues. Not enough green space living in those towers and on the land it is isolating and emotionally depressing without trees or parks to hang out in alone. no thanks.

I actually really enjoyed living there-it was great when I was working downtown and they’ve done a great job creating outdoor park spaces. But they’re just not that big and it doesn’t feel like true SF living. Serves a purpose if you work downtown or South Bay tho
Did the transit options in that part of SOMA get better or worse after the "T" line that now runs to Rose Pak station got finished? Both the T and the N used to run on the same track past the ballpark, and now it's just the N-Judah.

Not sure. I never used muni down there because I walked everywhere so have no reference point
I used to work not far from there (would go to that Safeway a lot). The traffic on most days during rush hour was a non-starter.

Yessir!
Thanks for the info! I'm curious to know the difference in price between the two?

Over the past year Average condo in SOMA/yerba Buena/south beach areas is about $1.25m. Above $2m in Pac Heights.
Could you list the areas that are not great and areas that are great of SoMa?

Basically steer clear of 5th st and west, north to market. East of 5th toward high rises is MUCH cleaner, where the good food is, super walkable
San Francisco is also a huge plus for you because youre gay. SF is the most pro gay place on earth. That adds some bias heteros dont really get the benefit of.

I left one part of SF to move to another part of SF. How does sexuality factor into it?
