Growing up in the East bay I was always told to bring a sweater whenever I go to the coast, all year round.

[@livinginthesfbayarea]

That is definitely good advice. Layers are key when you live near the ocean!

Dress in layers. Then you’re prepared to go anywhere in the Bay Area.

[@livinginthesfbayarea]

Yes, layers are key in the Bay Area!

I hope to move to San Fran one day but since the house prices are so high I need to get some money first.

You live here for 14 years?! Wow. From where originally? I’m from Georgia.

[@livinginthesfbayarea]

Yes, it's hard to believe it's been that long! I grew up near Cincinnati

Keep up the good work Zach...please do a video on the constant muggings? are they really rampasnt as portrayed on twitter?

[@livinginthesfbayarea]

Thank you, Jake! I'm working on a video along those lines now. The short answer is: not really. People on Twitter, Reddit, and KZbin often exaggerate the extent of those issues. Many of those people don't even live here. While crime stats aren't always reliable, a quick search will show that Bay Area cities have violent crime rates in line with other major cities. That being said, crime feels much more prevalent than it used to. There is a serious issue with property crime here. Police departments in many Bay Area cities are understaffed and prioritize violent crimes, so property crime often goes uninvestigated. I'm happy to discuss this further over the phone since it varies from city to city. It's definitely frustrating, but I still strongly prefer living here over anywhere else in the US.
