Making the most of SF

If you were moving to the city for the first time as someone in their twenties, what would you do to make the most of your time in the city?

I’m moving there in a month, and I want to get the most out of my experience. I love swimming, being outside, live music, and most importantly building community.

What tips or activities do you recommended that might be underrated?

Moving Soon: What Should I Do With 2 Huge 8ft Plants? 🌿

I’m moving out of San Francisco for a few months and I have two large indoor plants, both around 8ft tall. They’re beautiful and healthy, but too big to store or transport easily.
I’m trying to figure out the best option:

  1. Sell them?
  2. Donate them?
  3. Give them to a local business, office, or plant lover?

Any good places in SF/Bay Area that accept large plants?

Would love recommendations on:
Best platforms to sell them fast (Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, plant groups, etc.)
Donation spots or plant rescue communities
Tips for moving or transporting giant plants
Thanks xoxo 🌱

Car rental drop off - Napa to San Fran

Traveling to Napa then San Francisco in November. We will fly into Sacramento then rent a car but would like to be car free once we get into the city. Many suggest to drop off at SFO and use BART to get downtown. After looking at the rail system, I'm wondering if it would be wise to do a drop off on the other side of the bay and use BART from there. Was looking at Richmond, Berkeley, and Oakland. I am not familiar with any of these area so wondering if it would be a time saver, safe, and convenient. Other suggestions also welcomed.

SFO hotel

Hi there. I have a 530am flight out of sfo on Saturday (I live in Morgan hill and just doesn’t make sense to drive or Uber to airport that early 😅) so I’m just attempting to make a night out of it and stay in a hotel. I’d like to stay in an airport where it won’t difficult to get to the airport in time but also will allow me to have a dinner and walk my the ocean. Thoughts? Budget is $250

first time visiting

Hello everyone! My family and I are visiting San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas from late June to mid-July. We’re from the Philippines, and it’ll be our first time visiting America!

We’ll probably be staying in San Francisco for about a week, so I was wondering what fun things we should do or places we shouldn’t miss. I’m especially excited to see the Golden Gate Bridge, but I’ve heard SF can get pretty foggy around that time — is it usually hard to see?

Also, how’s the weather in general during these days, and what are the people like? Any tips, food spots, or advice for first-time visitors would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any chance someone found a custom baseball glove in a bathroom at SFO tonight (Terminal 1 departures near Door 7 around 9pm)?

My son accidentally left his custom baseball glove on the bathroom sink counter and realized it within minutes, but when he went back it was already gone.

This isn’t just an expensive glove — it has deeply personal memorial customizations including family initials sewn into it, so we are really hoping someone turned it in or may have seen it.

It’s a custom 44 brand baseball glove - black leather with bright yellow laces and unique embroidery/custom details including:

-Nickname “Benny”
-Initials SD and PP sewn into the glove

Lost around 9pm on 5/22 in domestic Terminal 1 departures bathroom near Door 7 at SFO.

If anyone happened to see it or picked it up to turn in, please DM me here on Reddit or email me at: candcleary@sbcglobal.net. We’ve already contacted SFO lost & found and airport police. He’s devastated and we are remaining hopeful that someone found it and turned it in.

Thank you!!!

When to start panicking about finding a place

I’m planning to move to SF the week of July first so about 5 weeks away and I have zero housing lined up. I’ve got two roommates (one lives out there) we’ve been doing an okay job finding spots but nothing has stuck. We got a tour next week hoping for the best.

I’m just worried I’m not gonna find somewhere

Moving to SF, neighborhood audit

Hey all, I recently just got a job in SF and will be moving towards there or maybe a neighboring area depending on rent. Was hoping to get an idea of which neighborhood might fit my needs best.

Me:
- 28M single (looking for a GF), this is somewhat important 😅
- im pretty active and want to keep it that way (gym, boxing, biking, pickleball, basketball, ultimate frisbee)
- I try to walk every day or every other day so a nice walking route would be great
- I’ll actually be driving up to SF with my car and stuff so would ideally like a garage or safe parking access
- not a huge nightclub guy, but not opposed
- like board games, gaming, comedy, more chill type hobbies
- want to build my social circle through repeat interactions either with activities, local food / cafes, etc basically I don’t have golden retriever energy and confidence but find I can connect with people I see often

I was looking and feel like dogpatch and mission bay really hit on these but would love to hear from locals and what not. Also was considering maybe living on the outskirts and taking public transit into the city for work, but I think for the social aspect city might be better for me.

Are wool skirts usually too warm for SF?

I collect vintage maxi wool / wool blend skirts and I'm planning to move to SF soon, I'm just worried I'll never get to use them. 😞I know SF isn't aways the hottest, but is it cool enough a lot of the time to wear that kind of fabric in a skirt?

Anyone Recently Entered the U.S. via SFO on a Visitor Visa? Looking for Recent Experiences

Has anyone from South Asia recently traveled to San Francisco (or the U.S.) on a B1/B2 visitor visa and entered through SFO?

I've visited the U.S. before and currently hold a valid visitor visa that expires early next year. My trip is planned for later this year, and I already have a return ticket booked well before my visa expiry date.

I'm interested in hearing recent experiences at immigration/entry:

* How was your arrival experience at SFO?

* Were you asked many questions by CBP officers?

* Were you referred to secondary inspection?

* Did anyone experience any issues despite having a valid visa and return ticket?

* Has anyone noticed any changes in the entry process recently?

Thanks for sharing your experience.
