    I have always loved Bay area rather San Francisco better than any place in USA, it has temperate climate and also very interesting things to explore and live in.

    I have a Queen-Anne cottage in San Rafael. There are various Victorian styles, as well as some Shingle style homes in my neighborhood, Gerstle Park. The infill lots have homes of nearly every 20th C. style, including some hideous MCM apartment buildings. It is an interesting neighborhood to check out, if you haven’t seen it.

    See, Architects are incredible – yet, the people; the teams who take those blue prints and piece all of these things together, is what really mesmerizes me.

    Recommend the A24 film "The Last Black Man in San Francisco" which illustrates the passion many of us have for historic homes like those found in San Francisco.✌

    you forgot to show all the homeless pool that hangs from the great terracotta walls and piss stained stairs leading to heaven

    Thank you for reminding me why I love my city even with an ineffective administration and all the challenges it is facing at this time….

    I wish that he had included the George Floyd Mansion, AKA the Pacific-Union Club that us a lovely example of Gilded Age architecture.

    THANK YOU for this! San Francisco is sincerely one of the most BEAUTIFUL cities in the entire world! The architecture, the hillsides, the ocean views, the bay views, the rich art history, the surrounding areas with vineyards, redwoods and coastline, and a culture of extreme kindness and acceptance… Truly, truly, it is a life-changing experience for most people just to visit! The song that sings of leaving your heart in San Francisco is a very true and real sentiment. The fog is so soft, it’s like cotton clouds soothing your skin, and the sun is as golden as the gate, feeling like a warm hug whenever it kisses your face. Yes, I absolutely love this amazing city in the world. My favorite place to ever live. When I am there, I am home. And so many people feel the exact same way. LOVE San Francisco!

    The problem is people that were rats of a time. So there is what they made, to start who they were as a person.

    Great job with this series finding people so passionate and knowledgeable about their subject, James is a delight, I could listen to him talk for hours.

    I was a bike messenger in San Francisco in the 1990s. I've been inside all these buildings many times. The internal designs were just as intriguing it was a fun job always exploring the streets and buildings of SF.
