Great video. As an SF resident myself, it's nice to see some videos that highlight the many positives of the city.

[@DotsonaMap]

Thank you for watching!

[@pastense]

Lived my life in SF until my family moved to the South Bay when I was a toddler. Worked as a route driver throughout the city for almost a decade straight. So I know every nook and cranny of this beautiful city. I’ve been to nearly every major metropolitan city in the US and a few around the world and its only closest rival in the US would be NYC. But my bias will always lean towards the city by the Bay. Every time I’m there, I always find a reason to fall in love with it over and over again. The good, bad, and ugly. Just no place like it.

[@DotsonaMap]

Agree! We love it - it's such a special place.

[@Powerhaus88]

The good, the bad, the fentanyl, the homeless, the riots.

[@mennettecamberos1078]

Thank you for showing my beloved San Francisco in a positive light. Born and raised in SF and will always have my heart in San Francisco❤

[@DotsonaMap]

We love it here!

[@marcosmorais5628]

fantastic job you guys, I love how culturally open this place is

[@theathjr]

Thank you for the recommendation for Cioppino. I have been a fan of The Tadich Grill’s Cioppino for 20 plus years but now I have yet another more “down to earth locals spot” for it. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@DotsonaMap]

Thank you for watching the video and for your nice comment!

[@juanwhite3242]

Good work. Thanks from Lima, Perú

[@dkuiv]

As a frequent I for the last 20 years I’m glad to see all is not lost.

[@DotsonaMap]

There is still a lot of beauty in the city!

[@PhotowalksTV]

such a great video--fantastic production.

[@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821]

Now, I know why you looked so beautiful. I thought you were mixed with Asian!! You look a little bit like Phoebe Cates!! You also seem very educated and intelligent!!

[@neotheoneness9363]

Grew up in SF and moved and lived all over the Bay Area from Daly City to Pinole and every city in between and I gotta say,you have to go to the Mission District in SF if you want the best burritos.

[@SandraLaura]

This is such a great video to watch especially for a person who intends to make SF their home. Lovely one !

[@mikelee3101]

Worked in SF as a City employee. I am very familiar with all the neighborhoods of the City. You covered them nicely.

[@wherearewe-yt]

You guys made us want to visit San Francisco even more! I (Brandon) have never even been to California. Anja actually used to live close to Palmdale. It's looks like such a vibrant, beautiful city. And that food had me droolin'! I want that burrito! 🥺🤤

[@davidcarmack5074]

North Beach has always been my favorite neighborhood, so many great places to eat and great coffee houses.

[@maykeweiber7758]

Fantástic documentary!! 👋

[@sweetaznboi209]

Thank you so much for the video , I haven’t been to SF in awhile.

[@jlbraswell5961]

Great video! I love San Francisco for 20 years despite what you hear in the media or how the media portrays the city. It is still a beautiful city just crawling out of the pandemic.

[@DrinkInDigital]

Every video is unique! Keep up the good work!

[@MGTVUSA]

Great Documentary and History Great Production Work Thank you Dots On a Map

[@LMiraculous]

I’m moving to San Francisco I have job opportunities there I’m supposed to head there in November 🌁 my dream city I haven’t even been yet

[@stephenweeks5267]

Beautiful Hostess ✌️💞 Beautiful Production 💖 TY You Dorothy 🍄🌹👣🍀🌈🌬️🌎🥂⛵

[@MikeBrown-dk7or]

Excellent filming. I especially liked the Carnaval footage and the dancers from Brazil. A big thank you, Dottie.

[@DotsonaMap]

Thank you for the kind comment! We appreciate you watching :)

[@oldrock9]

Fantastic documentary. God Bless you

[@elimlinrr6898]

This is such a well put together documentary style like video on San Francisco. The sights and sounds and the festive atmosphere were beautifully captured, making the city come alive. I was there in early 2000s but managed only to go see the Golden Gate Bridge.

[@bballerryday]

I’ll always believe in San Francisco, I moved here during the pandemic and I don’t regret it at all. There is just so much to do and explore! It would’ve been great to hear about Japantown, North Beach (Little Italy) and the immigration of Pacific Islanders (Samoans, Tongans, etc) and Filipinos to SF!

[@vestelmobile5255]

Omg..what sweet smile😴❤🌷

[@choifayue9848]

I think you are a movie star are you ? Great vid you have here, very enjoyable to watch keep up the good work PEACE

[@katherinemarcil5481]

Great video!! ❤😊 I learned a lot

[@mikvas8088]

excellent video...very informative. btw she's beautiful. 😍

[@jdvlog7098]

My biggest dream is come from UK 🇬🇧 nd explore the San Francisco. That's my dream to makes come true 👍

[@cf5914]

The Mission used to be the Polish neighborhood. No one mentions that anymore.

[@davidjeffersjeffers7918]

Speaking as a sixth generation San Franciscan who was forced to leave due to economics, I can tell you the great diversity of the City no longer exists. The wealthy have taken over and forced the working classes out. My family included Firefighters, Cops, Dock Workers, Railroad workers, bank workers and many others who used to be the backbone of San Francisco. None of them could afford to live there now. Much of the homeless population is a direct result of "market rate" housing and unfairly low working class wages. Leaders and the media are all too quick to politicize the thousands living on the streets as criminals, drug addicts and the mentally ill. While those aspects are in the mix, and always have been, unchecked Capitalist greed and corruption, along with overpopulation in general, are a much bigger cause of the current situation. This truth aside, I hope you have future videos planned to cover the many parts of the City you have not touched on. Foremost would be Golden Gate Park, a place many consider the most beautiful urban park in the world. Also, the Marina, Japantown, the Castro, the Embarcadero, North Beach and dozens of other neighborhoods. San Francisco also has an incredible history in the fine arts, music and sports. The children's playground featured in this video was once the location of The Blackhawk, a world famous jazz club whose stage was graced with the likes of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Dave Brubeck and countless others (Note the building sized murals surrounding the park).

[@pastense]

From the South Bay, but still have family there in the Excelsior district, also been there for a few generations. I agree, it’s so sad to see this change. Even the Mission, where I lived the first two years of my life, is clinging on ever so delicately to what the true heart of the city represents. Still one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We’re biased of course lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DotsonaMap]

Lots of good points here. Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful comment. And we do have more SF videos up our sleeves along with other destinations around the world!

[@Jeannified]

@@DotsonaMapif you did nothing but videos on San Francisco, I would watch them all!

[@user-dp5fc6ws6f]

❤🎉

[@MB-xq3ol]

You should make a video on SF Earthquake shacks . In 1906 they made 6000 of them and in 1907 they moved them and lots were 100 and not they sell for 2.5 million they were stacked put together and there still some original and with your looks people would let you in for a great video

[@MillennialRescueOrg]

“I left my heart in SanFrancisco” and you left your wallet too! Seriously, Alcatraz Island could be used to clean up the City. How you ask? It’s a place to stay just remove the bars and turn the place into a habitable living project. They have a mess hall etc… You could have a clinic in there to help treat those in need. That would get them off the streets.

[@dyrectory_com]

The ABCs... and other Chinese easily got that a 03:31, lol ☯

[@calikalbocalikalbo6082]

It's a freaking toilet and clad I never have to go back.

[@Toto-cl8rw]

Great city, have been there many times. I would live there if I had the good fortune and opportunity to live there. Open minded, progressive , liberal city, beautiful sites and non stop fun.

[@infostar-wx6fp]

👍💜🌹

[@corymiller536]

Are you mixed with Chinese yourself?????

[@trevornewkirk3224]

Chinatown’s story has a Happy Ending? 🤣

[@DotsonaMap]

😅 Had someone else make the same joke

[@Kindmale]

😂

[@libcommi]

What's the point for those "artists" to "fight gentrification"? Increased demand in certain areas always leads to price increases that's the simplest causation, I highly recommend educate yourself about the market economy

[@funnykeymonkey]

Another theme park town.

[@craigch2005]

and btw, the best thing about SF is the Asian massage parlors, OH yeah

[@cf5914]

Its always been funny to me how San Francisco prides itself for its diversity, yet it is one of the most clearly racially segregated cities I've ever lived in.

[@user-tx6fd5os8l]

I think I'm falling in love with you but it's an impossible dream because woman in America are very difficult to date. Plus, I relocated to Thailand 🇹🇭. I was however born and raised in San Francisco, Ca

[@Powerhaus88]

Half white and half taiwanese, too difficult to say? People who look like you? You look halfway like them. Or are you ashamed of being half white? I'd be half (no pun intended) tempted to use the word "racist", but then again, I'm not a leftist.
