Pro's and Con's

I've found that I have this internal dialogue where I keep a running tally of pro's and con's of living in San Francisco. Now, when I say "con" I truly mean it in the most positive and optimistic way. It's more of a small dislike. I find myself daily in a situation where I think to myself "wow, this is super cool! Totally a pro of living in SF." But I also have the opposing side where I think to myself "I could do without seeing/smelling/having that happen to me again."
This brings me to my running tally of pro's and con's.

Pro: This is entire city is a photographer's dream. There is always something to take a picture of because everywhere you look it's awesome. I wish I was more talented in taking photo's because I really love what I get to see everyday.

Con: This city smells of pee. In some places the smell is so intense I find myself not inhaling. Which brings me to the reason it smells of pee... Having to watch people do their business on the street is definitely not my favorite. I know you're thinking; "Courtney look away!" I can't it's too absurd and interesting.

Pro: People here in the city are so nice and usually very generous! I've purchased many household items off Craigslist and my experience with these complete strangers has been pleasant. It's nice to feel so welcome in a huge strange city.

Con: People are nice until they become a driver of a vehicle. Something happens when they strap the seatbelt and put their foot on that peddle. DO NOT get in their way. Cross them, and you will be cursed at for a solid 60 seconds.

Pro: As strange as it sounds, I rather enjoy taking public transportation. I hop on a bus and it takes me to my destination. I don't have to worry about finding a parking spot or dealing with those crazy psycho drivers. I know it doesn't work for everyone but for me I prefer it.

Con: Parking. I purposefully do not drive in this city as much as possible because I do not enjoy the nightmare of parking. I have found that most of the time I could have walked to my destination quicker than driving and circling streets for an eternity before I find a spot in which I have to parallel park. Now is a good time to admit that I have yet to successfully parallel park a car. This may attribute to my frustration. But I'd rather not wreck my vehicle so give me a break.

Pro: Google Express. Why? I need toilet paper. I order it. And it's there before I get home from work. Enough said.

Con: Everything here is expensive. Granted it's California and a large city. But it still gets me when my grocery bill is sometimes double what we used to spend.

Pro: The weather is awesome. As I write this in the middle of July I am comfortably wearing a sweater and pants. It's great. I sometimes forget that summer weather exists. But having a constant state comfort weather is something I think I'm going to get used to. Our utility bill is excellent too because we have yet to turn on the heat. (AC doesn't exist here).

Con: Those days of getting anywhere in 15 minutes or less are over. Even if you drive somewhere you have to plan an extra 15 minutes to find parking. It's just what you do.. hence why I never drive. It just worth walking or taking the bus.
