So, Wilder Street is hardly a street. Yes, it has some houses on it, but it mostly insects with Diamond Street at it's west end. And it's at this corner that the magic happens. It puts you smack dab in the middle of Glen Park and at one of my favorite restaurants, Le P'tit Laurent. This French Bistro has probably the best lamb shank I have ever had, in addition to some wonderful French dishes.

If French doesn't catch your eye, there is a sushi joint, a diner, and several other restaurants right around this street. Minimal walk. On the other hand, if you want to cook at home, Wilder and Diamond also is home to Canyon Market, which is sort of like an overpriced Whole Foods. Still, pretty decent food.

Transportation wise, very close to BART.

I lived right around Bemis Street and my family has had a presence in the area for over 50 years. This street doesn't have a ton going for it. It's kinda boring and anything worthwhile is a pretty decent hike up and down hills. Bemis runs along the hill and is mostly flat in character. I assume this might be a nice place to own a house, as my family has owned a house there since my great-grandfather moved to SF in the forties. He has several photos of that time which show houses that are still there.

These houses have a bit of character to them and the parking isn't bad either. This leads me to conclude that, while boring for me, I wouldn't mind raising a family there. Be careful at night, though, as the area has had a spike in crime.

Molimo Street is near Twin Peaks, or, on top of the giant mountain in San Francisco. I lived here for one year. The best thing I can say about it, for a single guy at the time, is that it has excellent parking for the city. Basically, no parking restrictions, not even street sweeping. This is good, of course, as you have to DRIVE everywhere to get anywhere. There is one bus that goes by, but it's poorly connected with the rest of the system. There isn't any food and no one delivers.

I think the best attraction for this street is the low traffic, high family value. It's very secluded and likely a very nice place to plant your family. If you are cooking in, etc, you'll be fine.

Oh, and if you are lucky to live off the south side of the street, you get quite a nice view!

Moffitt Street is pretty much a killer hill. It's at least at a 20 degree angle. So, if you want to live there, keep in mind that you must enjoy walking up hills. Overall, the neighborhood is fairly unfriendly with a fair amount of low income housing. The street (and neighborhood) became increasingly shady as I lived there. My car was broken into and a backup check I kept in my glove box was deposited fraudulently.

The upside to all of this is that there are several close by restaurants that I am now sad that I do not live by. One of those is Pet't Laurent, a wonderful French bistro. Another is Tyger's diner, perfect for breakfast. Both of these are in the main section of Glen Park, which is likely one of the last secluded places in SF.
