Let's talk about THE SUNSET (Exploring San Francisco's Biggest Neighborhood)

San Francisco's Sunset District is big, but it's more than just a suburban labyrinth of single family housing. It's a sprawling, yet surprisingly intimate neighborhood full of life. Join me as we take a look at what makes this place so special.

This is a little late to your posting, but as a resident on Moraga between 48th and the Great Highway from 1971 to 1973, I wanted to tell you how much I love your take on the area. I remember the sound of waves crashing on the beach at night, and hearing the band The Tubes practicing around the corner. It isn’t the tourist’s San Francisco, but it has its attractions nonetheless.

[@bloodgirl4]

My bestfriend lived in Ocean Beach & it was probably one of the most "chill and relaxed" places that made living in SF reasonable.

[@SanjuroYojimbo]

Love the Sunset. Although I don’t live there, I practically grew up in The Avenues. Went to Lincoln and played basketball at Lawton Gym. My relatives live here and bought their houses in the 70’s for only 40K. Those same houses are wroth over a million now. Used to hang out at Komiks And Da-Kind at Noriega. My two gripes: You can’t drive through 19th Ave. and Sunset Blvd. without hitting a red light. Back in the day, the lights were calibrated so when you go a certain speed (30-35 mph) you’ll keep hitting a green light all the way through. That’ll give you a clue on how old I am.

[@JoeyYee]

I remember the Sunset Blvd. lights being timed as recently as 2005. (same with Great Highway!)

[@soyarysunthorn]

This made me laugh. I used to time it so I could just cruise through each light from the mall down to Kirkham, while laughing at tailgaters behind me slowing down as they got too close to me just to realize it’s green by then. That all changed by 2013ish.

[@SanjuroYojimbo]

@@soyarysunthorn Don’t get me started on those stupid drivers who tailgate you and speed up only to hit their breaks when they reach a red light.

[@choosyangel08]

For someone that will be moving to SF in two weeks and still havent chosen a place to live yet, this was not only highly informative but very entertaining. I would absolutely love for you to feature all the other areas of SF!

[@visualpun650]

Sunset is pretty safe and close to amenities. And has more street parking than the Richmond. That is a big deal. In the richmond parking can be maddening. It is not very exciting though.

[@aspartame27]

I'm moving there next month as well but I was warned that Sunset is largely under fog when the rest of the city is clear

[@visualpun650]

Jorjo Peralta Yes, not really fog, mostly overcast. But it sees more sun than in the 1980s and 90’s thanks to climate change. Drive 15 min into the more eastern parts of the city and you are more likely to see sun.

[@kevinl6231]

Thanks for the video. I grew up at 38th and Kirkham. Actually, you don’t want to go further than 36th if you want to buy a nice house. If you haven’t already done so, check out the 1500 block of 34th to 36th Avenue. Those are mostly Rousseau homes, by the guy who built much of the Marina. Very ornate homes. You’ll also hear Gramma boasting to her friends that they live in the Sunset. It is the Chinese Pacific Height! Those who have been priced out are in the Bayview and Portola districts.

[@rfrover]

Joey, your videos are so well produced and thoughtful. As a sixth generation San Franciscan, I really appreciate the light you are bringing to these dark times. It’s a difficult period for us all and The City has taken a lot of hits of late. Your videos make me optimistic and appreciative of the privilege we enjoy living in this beautiful and vibrant place on the edge of the world. Thank you.

[@Archamitect]

I'm from Chicago (gridded city streets) & have lived in the Outer Sunset for 5 of the 7 years I've lived in SF, easily my favorite neighborhood. Regarding the "confusing" street layout, the Avenues go from 1st to 48th and the cross streets are all alphabetical to help you remember... Ortega, Noriega, Moraga, Lawton etc. Shout out to those who know Hugo street!

[@minimonkey252]

Woah! I just discovered Hugo last night! I'd driven on it before, but last night was the first time I realized it WASN'T Irving.

[@mur3038]

Love this vid so much! I'm in the Outer Sunset myself and have lived in this neighborhood for almost 7 years. Every day I appreciate it more. Being mere blocks from the Pacific Ocean and walking distance from Outside Lands is beyond a treat. I don't think I'll live here forever, but every time I'm running down the Great Highway I have to ask myself, 'does it get any better than this?'

[@mocheen4837]

Look at all of the mobile homes, busses and vans parked on the streets. There are many homeless living in the neighborhood now. San Fransisco is a former shell of what it once was. The city lets the criminals walk and steal from the stores. Homelessness is increasing along with crime. The streets are covered in feces. People are rude and self centered. I have lived here all my life and now that I can work from home want to pack up and leave.

[@conniemiholee]

So glad I found your channel, this was the first video that popped up in my recommendations. I was going to list the Richmond district, but noticed you did a video on Clement Street, which is where I was born and raised into with two nearby schools in the Inner Richmond. Absolutely love the way you talk about SF in this romanticized way, but with these lesser known areas of San Francisco as opposed to what's typically shown in tourist guides. This feels more like a channel that shows light in what makes SF so special to the people who have lived here all their lives and it finally feels good to see something like this, in the same way that NY or LA is talked about. There's a rich history that I feel makes SF special, with it's many ups and downs as time goes on and yet you can still continue to see historical landmarks that never seem to completely go away as you go from place to place within the city, along with glimpses of the past with long-lasting local businesses and restaurants. Can't wait to see what else you have in store with this channel and what you have to say!

[@liannebedard5521]

I lived all over town, from Marina to Pacific Heights and a great south facing house in the Sunset. But the best by a mile…a downstairs flat at 19th and Clement. Homey but still in the city.,,

[@conniemiholee]

​@@liannebedard5521 Exactly, that's the appeal to me with what Clement St. represents to me, it feels like a small + local neighborhood that you can enjoy away from the noise, yet if you walk down to Geary and take the 38, you can make it to the "city" with Downtown. Each neighborhood has its own charm with its culture and architecture, but nothing beats the smaller neighborhoods within the larger ones (: Similar to my love of Clement St., I really like 32nd to 37th & Balboa as well, but it's much more quiet than 3rd to 10th & Clement.

[@polaroidjay]

This video is awesome! My cousin used to live in the Sunset on Judah. I slept over a few times and there was one time I stayed over during Outside Lands 2010 weekend. We pre-gamed at his house and walked to GG park to check it out. Also, I LOVE Toyose, my favorite restaurant. There have been times where I’d start my SF weekend adventures at Japantown and just drive all the way down to Sutro Baths, go down further and hang out at Ocean Beach, and end my day driving to Daly City for some Jollibee to head back home in the South Bay. I still need to spend more time checking out the restaurants on 19th, it’s been too long!

[@jamesmack3314]

Moved to 39th and Lawton in 92...it was like going to another city after living downtown,completely different atmosphere but I learned to like it.The rent for the house back then was like 1150 a month! Quiet,easy parking,few homeless but the fog was bad back in the 90’s..now like everywhere else it’s slowly becoming somewhat gentrified but it’s still a great area .great Asian food on Irving.

[@AdrianMarticio]

extremely grateful to have lived in the sunset for 2+ yrs!!

[@neilanderson9151]

I lived there for 7 years around 46th and Judah. I submit that the Judah Beach area is the single best spot in the outer sunset. From Natural food store to epic coffee and decent eating spots… it’s also the main spot people go to park and visit both the beach and the park, and also enjoy the various shops and restaurants. Not sure what it’s like now, but when I revisited it years later, it was even more built up

[@ProjectWProduction]

Love this video on Sunset! I lived in the neighborhood for a good 6 years and loved it all! Great eats, chill residentials, close access to Ocean Beach. At times when the Great Highway would be closed I would walk down the middle of the road like a boss! I miss it a lot.

I love the Sunset. I had friends who lived on Vicente and 45th while he was in residency at UCSF. I loved being able to do all the touristy stuff in downtown, the Marina, North Beach and Castro and then driving out to their house on the quiet side of town. Even still, it was so different than the Sierra Nevada gold rush town where I lived. Still so urban with the attached row houses and the various commercial strips. If I were to ever live there that's where I'd want have a home (not that I could ever afford it - they were renting themselves).

[@marianne8182]

I'm glad to see the Doggie Diner sign made a brief cameo in this video! I mean, when I think of the Sunset, the Doggie Diner sign and the zoo are the some first things from there to pop in my mind. Those, and of course, Ocean Beach. Some of those shots you took of Ocean Beach, man, at times, you'd never know you were in a city like San Francisco; it was more like you were in a remote coastal area far from The City. One thing I like about the Sunset (as well as the Richmond) is how you can get a general idea of how far south (or north) you are from Golden Gate Park by the alphabetized east-west streets. I like to keep my mind SF sharp by reciting them in order every now and then.

[@JoeyYee]

Right! I totally forgot to mention the alphabetical streets. They’re also a good way to help situate yourself if you’re feeling lost.

[@paddywhack9261]

They go A-B-C in The Richmond, then I through Y, and no X or Z [at least, that is my old memory] in The Sunset. We lived at 32nd btw Rivera and Santiago from 1952 to 1962. We went to St Gabriel's for grammar school, then I went to S.I my brother to Lincoln, my sister to "the Convent" on Broadway. We moved to NYC in late '62, I moved back -to Oakland - in 2002. Our house at 2222-32nd Ave had an extra bedroom added on, perfect for us 2 boys, sis, and Mom. That house cost way less than $10,000 when built [late 1940s?]... I looked up its assessed value 2 years ago: $1.3million. THAT.IS.INSANE. Now S.I..is at 37th, but was on Stanyan when I went there. I go to The City for the V.A. out on Clement, and always stop for food somewhere: Asian Fusion, Thai, Vietnamese, italian, Lebanese, Burmese, Mex/Tex-Mex, Indian, Veg/Vegan, Seafood, Chinese, Sushi: you can't beat San Francisco for food, booze, and views. . Iy's not the city of my youth, it's not a 60's hippie paradise, but goldang, it is physically the most besutiful city that I've ever been in, whether in Europe, the Csribbean, Mexico/ Central America, Southeast Asia, or the U.S. . But it needs a more effective-while -respectfully-humane way of dealing with the homeless/unhoused thousands. Too many hurting people in awful conditions.

[@weekendtrailblazers]

Great video’s but one thing. The Sunset actually goes from Lincoln to Taraval then Taraval to Sloat is the Parkside then Sloat to the border is the Lakeside not Lake Merced as some maps say. Don’t forget driving thru the Sunset is dangerous with so many uncontrolled intersections. We called it “Sunset Roulette” growing up.

[@sterlingwu7222]

So true! Locals tend not to leave their district. I spent my entire upbringing just four blocks north or south of Geary! In hindsight what a loss.

[@lorraineling6878]

I think there’s definitely different vibes between inner sunset and outer sunset. Enjoyed the visual effects in this video!

[@briandoucette5290]

Great video. The Sunset's a surprising place. I live on 6th so a walk over Golden Gate Heights out to the Reservoir at 24th, and down Pacheco to the ocean is a nice hike. Sunset Blvd. is a nice getaway, I don't mind the traffic, very few people, lots of trees and the new water catchments, even though some are still being constructed, are interesting and beautiful. Beautiful views in all directions along Sunset Blvd and it takes you to Lake Merced, not part of the Sunset, but a nice part of a hike.

[@ugob1985]

This video of sunset brings back the nostalgia. Excellent video and animation Joey Yee

[@FrankFarm]

I’m a past resident of Parkside (4 years) and a current resident of the Sunset (15 years). I thought your video was great! The Wikipedia entry for Parkside ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkside,_San_Francisco ) and its supporting, well-researched documentation both say that Parkside is (usually) considered part of the larger Sunset district, and I did not have a problem with how you represented it. This is similar to how the Inner Sunset is distinct in region and character yet still part of the Sunset. This was my first time watching one of your videos, and I’m now subscribed and looking forward to exploring your others. Thanks!

[@cathyfong5699]

Thanks for the tour of the Sunset ... will be looking forward for your next video.

[@ronniebush2898]

I grew up in the "Sunset". Well, actually the Parkside which is a small neighborhood stuck in between the sunset around Taraval! Anyways, shout out to the Parkside. I love where I grew up and I there's those of us there who are multi-generational so when people say who cares how many generations you are, that's fine, but there's something to be said about people who get to know the history of a place during a time of corporate ownership trying to constantly push people away from their own unique story & history!

[@vivienda4490]

You should do Ingleside district or West Portal too near CCSF! Lots of history and the forgotten El Rey theater 🎭

[@Turbotundra]

this video is absurdly high quality. great job

[@Zeyev]

Another great episode. When I was about 2 we moved to 41st near Wawona before we left for Nagoya in 1948. Do I remember that house? Not a clue. But it's part of family lore and I'm happy you ventured down there. You could have mentioned the sobriquet that Caen often used from the early days of the development of look-alike houses: The White Cliffs of Doelger. You could have talked about the reason for the creation of Sunset Boulevard. And then there was the defeated proposal to extend the Junipero Serra freeway up the east side of The Sunset. Of course there is that anomaly that a "suburban" neighborhood has two Muni streetcar lines (N-Judah and L-Taraval) while the "more urban" Richmond District has none. PS The garden center is amazing. A small space but so great. It admittedly does not have the cachet of Flora Grubb or Bay Natives but it compensates by being a place that serves basic needs. Some day you may do an episode on gardening in a dense city with infamously small or nonexistent front yards.

[@NosTikGaming]

I lived in SF temporarily for 5 months in the richmond district. This was pre-covid in 2019. The sunset district was actually my favorite part of sf. It's was a quiet area with good ocean views. I also liked the fact it in some residential areas it felt as if you weren't in a big city due to how peaceful it was. Nice vid man.

[@dASHsnucky]

Very well done! As a Native who's lived in the Richmond for about 30 years, I have to say that was a very kind portrayal of The Sunset ❤️ The part about ocean beach was hilarious. I've lived in various parts of the sunset; outer, inner, and middle. I also went to Mac, and spent many many hours hanging out on 9th Ave. The Sunset has such a different vibe than the Richmond, and a different quality of light. One of the things that I have a problem with is that there are NO TREES. It didn't used to be like that, but since the early 90s, it became like a vast concrete wasteland. Also... It has a problematic history from my "days" re: the WPOD. Since it was the last resting place of the Irish in SF (moving from the Mission to EV and the The Sunset), it was known for a long time for that flavor. I think for folks my age, that association makes our relationship with the Sunset more complex. I was not familiar with all the food places you mentioned, but please don't forget Marnee Thai (the one on Irving), and Henry's (for coffee beans). Though there are some great views in the sunset, I think Turtle Hill is my favorite spot. Considering the undeniable rivalry between the Richmond and the Sunset, I think you did a really good job staying neutral, and showing some of the beauty that exists there.

[@ebeyslough]

The lack of trees is the deal breaker for many who consider settling in the Sunset. For sure.

[@mr.michaelshaughnessy7497]

Having lived in the Sunset for most of my 72 years, I appreciate your perspective. I think the WPOD vibe is gone, but the lack of trees is harsh. It is good to be near OB and GGP.

@5:57 Doggie Diner, a much loved commercial image from my youth. I used to live in the The Haight and loved walking down to Ocean Beach and back on Saturdays while filling my backpack with fresh fruits and vegetables along the way. I also loved crossing the park to the Richmond to shop at Acorn Books back in the day. All this was back when my one bedroom attic apartment cost a mere $850 per month in the 1990's, but I miss The City even though she's fallen on hard times of late. I have no doubt she will rise again. Thank you for the video Joey.

[@alibol2343]

Thanks for this video. I had never head of the sunset district.

This was a great video! As someone that called the Sunset home for the past 3 years and am currently waiting out the pandemic out of the state, it's definitely made me realize how much I miss it. Special shout out to IPot + Kogi Gogi, my favorite hotpot/ kbbq places in the city!

You were lucky to get out when you did. The crime here is horrible now. The criminals from Oakland are allowed to come over and rob from the elderly Asians. Too bad not all lives matter only BLM. Look at all the hate crimes against Asian people now.

Wonderful! I am from the best of both worlds. I was raised in the Sunset, and live in the Richmond. (I even love the words: "raised in the Sunset." How beautiful.) I've been a Richmond girl, for decades, now. But, they're both "home." I'm a little puzzled by your mention that you can "get lost" in the Sunset. Joey, if you know your alphabet, and can count to 48 ... there's NO way that you can get lost, in the Sunset! ( ; .

Joey Yee, this video is excellent in every aspect! The sub-topics and videography are especially well-done. I watch a lot of KZbin and I would put yours at the top of the list!

Sunset people, doin' it right -- night after night

[@Jarvis4889]

Lived in the Inner Sunset for 5 years and think your representation was very fair. Too many that only know of the marquee SF neighborhoods disregard the Sunset entirely, but I think the vast size and lack of specificity on economic corridors when talking about the Sunset contributes to the misunderstanding.

[@ericjordangoingplaces]

All this is so true!

[@bethellen45]

Very nicely produced, and you have a charming way about you, and a lovely voice. More please.

[@wonhome2711]

I'm so happy you got out of your comfort zone of The Richmond. The Sunset was the last neighborhood anyone wanted to live and the prices of houses are comparable to the rest of the City. Being a native, I don't know that area as well.

[@lilixmck90]

I love the sunset! I was born and raised in the sunset, and I hope to raise my kids in the sunset as well:) Thank you for making this video!

[@catherinekellington3091]

Thanks grew up miss it a lot. Hay don't forget that the Parkside District sometimes just added to the Sunset.

[@eviez6574]

Loved your video! As someone who lived their younger years in the Avenues, it was great seeing the views of the ocean again.

[@bobwallenberg6668]

Good job! Was born & raised there. Lawton Grammar, Lowell, SF State. 1933 to 1957. Fond memories.

This was a great video. I’m from the Sunset. I lived my childhood there on 47th Ave. We had the beach, that huge salt water pool near the zoo, ice skating, Golden Gate Park, The Parkside movie theater, and great Transportation to easily get us to these places. It was great!

i love the drone shot at 1:12, i am from canada and on a trip down to LA i went through san fran for the second time, and this time i stayed over in the sunset area for the night, and was just blown away, very cool vibes, loved the nice slope all the down, one side golden gate park and the other just thousands of homes descending to the ocean. , the colourful kinda spanish looking square houses, it was rad, but like all stop on a trip to somewhere else it wasn't nearly long enough,

[@musclehead1992]

One of my favorite part of the city! I live down the road on Daly City but close to the sunset district

[@elysarosko]

Thanks for spotlighting the Sunset! Such great gems. And those steps are no joke.

[@kemek3000]

Growing up on the Peninsula, as a kid we often drove in to the city to go to the zoo, so for me the Sunset IS San Francisco.
