By American standards, San Francisco isn't bad. I lived in 2 neighborhoods that were blissfully free of American women, a gay neighborhood and a Chinese neighborhood. At least if you live in San Francisco, it is obvious where you live. Most of American is so generic and interchangeable that you have no way of knowing where you live except by looking it up on a map.
