New pizza joint, Joyride, Pier 1 across the little plaza at the west end of the Ferry Building. Looks scrumptious. By the slice and seems reasonably priced.
Yup, we've got our problems. However, there's no place in the world that I would rather live.

What’s the best big city for older Americans to live in? According to the AARP, it’s San Francisco.
The AARP’s Public Policy Institute’s Livability Index Platform measures every neighborhood in America across 61 different indicators of livability across seven categories. The AARP broke up the rankings by community size — small, midsize, large and very large, where San Francisco landed in the top spot. Most of the places listed are cities, though the AARP also indexes counties, suburbs, small towns and other types of communities.
Despite its high ranking, San Francisco’s total score was only 66/100. Though a community could theoretically score 100/100, none does. Anywhere you live is going to have trade-offs, said Rodney Harrell, the institute’s vice president of family, home and community.
