I hope this city (Busan) will be like San Francisco, but its potential has been wasted on the apartment and zoomers draining to Seoul

Busan will NEVER be like san francisco. south koreans aren't capable of the level of innovation and entrepreneurship. san francisco pulls the best from across the world and you think your podunk shithole can compare?

Aren't all Korean tech companies based in Gangnam?

>>212637467 (OP)
Busan City is more like Rio de Janeiro than it is like San Francisco.

>>212637567
Core of the Samsung is located in Suwon
Many of the top tier tech companies are located in Seongnam-si. Gangnam is for new startups like cryptocurrency, stock-related applications. LG research center is located on a different side of the Seoul

>>212637467 (OP)
San francisco is terrible though. Why would you aspire to be that

>>212637554
I'm just renting that those buildings are used for apartments

only brainlets think this. san francisco is fucking amazing

>>212637878
Is San Francisco well segregated?

>>212637997
it is funny you bring this up, but yes lol it is. possibly the most segregated city I've ever lived in.

The actual city center, san francisco, is majority white and asian. cross the bay bridge to east bay and you are in oakland, which feels majority black / hispanic (but east bay is quite diverse and segregated as well, also a strong asian presence everywhere).

up in berkeley it's far more asian/indian due to the university, and down in fremont it is solidly immigrant chinese communities.

down in south bay you have the incredibly weatlhy communities of atherton, stanford, palo alto which are pretty solidly white, but further down south in san jose / east palo alto you get the bay area's most hispanic region with a lot of mexican immigration.

The actual city itself (san francisco) is without a doubt the best place I've ever lived. the energy there is fucking insane. there are just SO MANY smart and driven people working on the most amazing projects you've ever heard of in your life, trying every fucking day to change the world. and it's not just soulless FAANG slop like you find in seattle, it's young people just building shit. it's beautiful.

the entire bay area kind of has this energy due to the presence of berkeley and stanford. but the east bay has issues with crime and silicon valley / south bay is just kind of geriatric. san francisco is truly a special place, even in the bay area.

>>212638115
Nawh, city center is mostly homeless trash, blacks, hispanic thugs and normal white people and asians during the working hours. The peninsula is mostly white followed a ways off by Asians. Down further south near San Jose/Cupertino, its mostly white followed by Asians (both indians and east asians). Oakland/Berkley is mostly Hispanic, some black, and a lot of South East Asians (mostly viets but good mix of laos/cambodian/thai) and quite a few whites who live up in the hills.

>>212638212
if that is your experience that is fine. all I'm going to say is you need a high iq to enjoy san francisco.

>>212637554
say what?

>>212638265
>econchartslop from the IMF
KEK

>>212638245
No, its everyone's experience if you actually live there. You also need MONEY to enjoy SF cause its fucking expensive as fuck.

>>212637842
That's not San Francisco it's the South Bay and it fucking sucks no matter how many tech companies operate there.

>>212638296
I've lived in the bay area for years, I went to UC Berkeley, I've lived in san francisco after graduation, I've rented a place in palo alto too. Yes I've actually lived there, literally all over the bay area. it's a fucking magical place. there is a reason why startup founders from across the planet flock to sf.

and no, it's not that expensive. it's possible to spend less than $1000 a month while living in the city if you really need to be there. it's all up to how much you want it, and how dedicated you are to making it work.

When I lived in SF my monthly expenses were around $1200 a month I think

>>212637605
don't insult Rio like that you dipshit

>>212638296
even ignoring tech entirely it's easily the best place I've ever lived. the city is super walkable and it has an insane amount of natural beauty, the weather is perfect (arguably the most perfect weather of any city in the USA) and it's filled with the most impressive urban parks I've ever seen. it's one of two actual cities in the USA, the other one being NYC.

yes SF does have homeless people, but they are concentrated into the tenderloin and along certain other streets. honestly the problems that SF has are problems that every city has. ultimately some people just don't like cities.

>>When I lived in SF my monthly expenses were around $1200 a month I think
Ahh, the eternal boomer. Costs are now easily triple that.

>>212638513
Grandpa, I'm not arguing if its a great place to live or not. You're just a bit off on the demographics is all. The demographics I listed is correct.

But yes, the Bay Area is fucking GREAT and don't listen to the shit ass rightoids who want to shit on it.

>>212638547
>Ahh, the eternal boomer. Costs are now easily triple that.
no lol. this was last year.

I wonder if Korea has some beaches? To be like California you have to have some warm beaches, don't it?

>>212638573
you were renting a room then cause thats bullshit. Show me where your rent was only $1200 a month.

Go back home, John. There is more than teaching english available.

>>212638611
yes, I was renting a room. and my monthly expenses including rent were $1200 total. that includes food and stuff.

SF is terrible and SF is SF because all the bad people live in Oakland. You don't want an Oakland.

It's one Korean anon who's constantly spamming the Centum City

>>212638601
Most of the big companies with flexible operating methods already moved from Seoul to Jeju. It is the one of a few places in sk with a med climate and clear shallow beaches. Op is talking nonsense.

>>212638762
I'm on a 38 bus right now fite me nigga

Why can't Korean diversify outside of Seoul?
I guess Tokyo has the top tier international companies, but if you want a normal life, other cities like Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka are totally fine. All have their own entertainment districts, shopping, subways, etc.
I actually hate Tokyo it's too crowded

>>212638788
So, in summer Koreans flock to Jeju? Is there beach culture in SK at all? I know Japan have it, especially in its southern part.

>>212638883
there is always Pyongyang

>>212638883
How do you feel about Gifu?

>steep hill terrain that is not walkable
>realistic houses are wooden houses that are over 100 years old
>neighbors are illegal immigrants ruskie mafia
no

>>212638883
Sanyo cities like Hiroshima and Okayama look really livable.

>>212638883
>Osaka
Terrible place if you don't want to get drunk on the street.
>Nagoya
Very boring place to visit, but seems top tier to live a normal life in.
>Fukuoka
It's nice, but not that interesting desu. Too far from everything.
