Recently moved to the Bay area and I am already so fucking depressed. 1. Why are the roads so narrow and uneven? 2. Why do we have so many homeless people around?š±. This should be classified as a national emergency. 3. Why is everywhere so grey and depressing? People stare so much yet, no one gives you a smile on the street. Where are the skyscrapers? Beautiful streets? Happy people? I feel completely out of sorts. I miss Texas so much. And heaven knows I will happily go back for less TC. I was very happy in Texas. Maybe because I had friends and loved ones there. I should have visited before accepting the offeršŖ. I really really hate the mountains around. Maybe things will get better when I start making friends at work. Until then, I am going to try not to jump back in my car and get the hell out of here. If you have recommendations for fun, hip bars/events around, kindly mention the name and location. Female. TC: 110k (only adding this because it's a tradition. kindly do not remind me about my low TC, I am honestly very happy with it. Thanks).
What part of the bay are you in? Recently just moved home from the bay area for the exact reasons you posted above and am way happier now
Somewhere around North Park Apartments
Where did you move to that's better?
It may get better as you spend more time there and get used to it. Iām sure youāll make new friends at work
I hope so too
I think youāre confusing the city youāre living in to the ābay areaā which is definitely not homogeneous. Maybe you need to spend more to get away to a better zip code, but I doubt 110k TC would do it.
Ouch.

Give it a time. Socialize.
This is what unchecked liberalism does to a country. Take note. Stick around, make yourself heard in local government. Maybe we can change things.
Jesus dude give it a fucking rest with the bullshit right wing propaganda. Yāall sound like parrots without a single original thought in your empty heads. ā*squawk* libruls bad.... *squawk* immigrants bad... *squawk* guns goodā Fucking tool.
Homeless in the Bay area is a civic crisis and I think it's time we try something, anything, new to try to fix it. I'm sure we both agree on this. Why not look for a way forward instead of being a cynic?
Which city in Texas are you coming from?
Dallas Texas. Best City on earthš„°
EWWW I'm stuck in Dallas and I fucking hate it. But I can see why someone born and raised here would like it. I'm an international student from a small village town in India and I'm really allergic to small-town vibes even in the slightest. I was in the Bay Area over the summer and loved it. Definitely moving there after I graduate.
Iām sorry you feel that way. I heard you have to watch out for human feces too on the streets š. I donāt live there.
I hope I do not encounter such.
Is this a joke? Did you just compare TX to SF š Might be depressed because of the low TC?
Smhš¤¦āāļø. I am not a TC farmer like someone above mentioned. I am very happy with paying my bills and being able to travel sometimes. Contentment is what I have.
I admire that you've found contentment with that TC. I felt like I was barely scraping by. It wasn't until I hit around $150k that I felt like I could finally breathe easy.
Ohh boy, wrong place to post. The only replies you're gonna get here are from salty elites in denial trying to convince everything outside bay area is shit and it's a paradise here. Good luck. Bought a $2.3M house only to find a junkie taking a huge turd on the doorstep within the first week. And no it wasn't in tenderloin.
This is no paradise. It's hell.
Have you seen the homes in pac heights?
But have you seen my beautiful Python (leet)code?! Have you witnessed the graceful skylines? Bay Area is for TC farmers, not cow farmers. Sorry, dear Texan.
Smhš¤¦āāļø
What shironeko said. Texas fucking sucks. There is nothing to do, the weather sucks. I will never go back there. Nothing to do. āTechā Companies suck and have terrible structures and donāt know anything about real tech.
