San Francisco was our first taste of the US a few years ago now. It is very expensive, especially down near the piers where most of the tourists head. We have usually had a car but as you say it is not a necessity if you are staying in the city. We have usually just spent a few days before/after/during road trips. As the transport is so good we tended to stay a bit out of town close to a BART line. We have once stayed in the Tenderloin without any problems. It will be interesting to see your impressions.

Love it, I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (the nine counties that touch the San Francisco Bay). SF is one of the world's greatest cities. 🙂 As far as expensive, do note that our median household income in the Bay Area is quite high: 136,689 USD. It's even higher down here in "Silicon Valley" (Santa Clara County), 153,792 USD. 🙂 I would disagree with you that one needs a car in LA....I fly down there often, and never need a car. I would suggest flying into BUR airport; the train is literally across the street from the airport, literally a ten minute walk from the gates, and like SFO, you can get to downtown in 30 minutes on the train. 🙂

Good to see you’ve started your trip Matt 4. San Fran is an interesting place was there about 6 years ago. I thought parts of it were great and other parts not so, a lot of homeless made us feel a bit unsafe didn’t really go out late at night as a result. It was as bitterly cold being from Queensland Australia noticed that. But you should have a great time as you’re a bit more of an explorer from all accounts. Anyhow looking forward to following your journey, stay safe mate. Cheers.
