I don't live in CA, and have been to many places both in and out of the US. I 100% agree with the statement that San Francisco is in a uniquely beautiful natural setting. Yes I saw the encampments, the people shooting up in the street, and some of the negative stuff you hear about, but I also saw the bridges on the bay, Twin Peaks, Lincoln Park, Golden Gate Park, Hawk Hill, and I could go on.
On the other hand, I kind of understand the sentiment of not appreciating a place if you grew up there. I'm originally from Miami, FL, and it took moving away + a few years to be able to appreciate the beauty of that place for what it is.
