The following rules for living in SF come to us courtesy of Richard Ault, who posted them on MetBlog San Francisco.

1. Thou shalt always vote on principal and not political party

2. Thou shall move your family to the suburbs when your children are of school age

3. Thou shalt always have an earthquake preparedness kit in your home

4. Thou shalt drive a hybrid car

5. Thou shalt always yield to a bike if driving, and a ped if driving/biking

6. Thou shalt not pay for muni (like Curbed, I’m crossing out the ‘not’)

7. Thou shall hate the Dodgers like the devil himself/herself. Unless of course you are a satanist. Then thou shall hate the Dodgers like god himself/herself

8. Thou shalt be tolerant, to the point of absurdity

9. Thou shalt pickup after your pooch, homeless denizen, drunk buddy defecates

10. Thou shalt keep your winter clothes out of storage all summer long

Commandment 2 is a sad fact of life. 

Sadly I’m not up to speed on Commandment 3 (need to work on that). 

I began to obey Commandment 4 six months ago when I bought a Nissan Altima Hybrid.  I tried the Prius, but (forgive me Prius devotees) it was like driving a tin can.

My husband is a strict adherent to Commandment 7. This makes up for my indifference towards it.
