Someone who doesn't know that the Richmond is a district of San Francisco doesn't get to pompously lecture me on not knowing about the city I lived in for seven years. Also, the Sunset is not a particularly wealthy district and it's not in the northwest.

I never claimed that these problems don't exist, but the idea that they're part of life in every part of the city is simply false.




Why are y'all talking about Sunset and Parkside as if they're different things? Parkside is in the Sunset district, is it not?

Also many of the highest ranking schools are in the Sunset, and house prices there are very much on the high side (compared to, say, around Portola)


Richmond is not in SF City. It's in the greater SF area. Just like Oakland isn't in SF city.

You're dodging the argument at this point.


San Francisco has an Inner/Outer Richmond district. It’s the area north of Golden Gate Park. Inner/outer Sunset is south of Golden Gate Park. How can you be such an authority on SF and not know this? Yes there’s a Richmond city but it’s not what’s being referred to here…


Richmond is also a city, hence why people usually say Richmond District if they want to explicitly refer to the NW District of SF when discussing the city and the surrounding area.

Poster you’re replying to isn’t wrong, just as you aren’t.


They were providing a list of neighborhoods in SF. It wasn't ambiguous and would have been well understood by anyone familiar enough with the city to comment on the state of SF. There's also a Richmond Virginia (among many other Richmonds), none would make sense in the context of a list of SF neighborhoods.
