Why we love EC San Francisco

I call San Francisco a small city with a BIG mix. Around 40 iconic and distinct neighborhoods pack into this peninsula. Attend tech events in SoMa, hike the cliffs of Land’s End, relax at the gardens/museums in Golden Gate Park, and don’t forget iconic sites like the Golden Gate Bridge, Haight-Ashbury hippie neighborhood, and Alcatraz prison. It is an educated community that leads the country when it comes to diversity and change…

These are just some of the reasons why so many people fall in love with San Francisco. .
