I live in the Bay Area and I’m conservative and very happy…the measurement seems to be about things like divorce and I’m happily married, happy with my job and kids and friends…I’m a Christian too which probably helps.
I’m in the bay area as well. Conservative christian. I really don’t fit in any more, and I grew up here. This is one of the darkest spiritual places in the country right now.
I worked in San Leandro and lived in Hayward for just over a year, 2016-2017. Personally, I felt like a stranger in a strange land for the most part. I did meet a few really great people and I thoroughly enjoyed doing tourist stuff like Alcatraz, Napa and a sunset cruise on the bay when friends of mine came to visit.
But I would never have felt at home there.
What’s funny is that I went to kindergarten there (San Lorenzo) and my parents had very fond memories of the area. (We were a Navy family.) But that was a long time ago.
If you’re not a liberal christian, I’d like to know what church you attend in San Francisco.
I was born in the old presidio back when republicans ran sf— and sometimes return to SF on biz. But I’ve never been to church there.
