"World-class yuppie training ground"

I've lived in the Marina for five years. It's safe, clean, parking isn't as bad as other parts of the city (although still horrible), has great options for dining out, many places to shop, is near the water with lots of parks and running/biking/skating paths. I noticed that the weather was often better here (sunnier) than further south in the City.

The downsides are that it built completely on landfill with most areas rating a 9/10 for earthquake danger, tends to be windy, and is filled with Chads and Trixies. No one stays to raise children; as soon as the children are of school-age, the parents move to a better school district (usually out of the City).
