Anybody thinking SF is a great place, watch the movie “Pacific Heights.”
Not sure what that movie has to do with "San Francisco" beyond the fact that it was filmed there. You could reword the original sentence:
Anybody thinking buying rental property is a great idea, watch the movie “Pacific Heights.”
My wife has always been against the rental property we owned (one argument I won, perhaps the only one). But after we saw that movie she just looked at me, with the "I told you so look".
I sold our units a few months later.
