    For several years I lived on O’Farrel Street, between Hyde and Leavenworth, which if you know SF is basically the middle of the biggest East-West Transit route in the city. There was literally a 24-hour “Owl” bus stop outside our front window. That was noisy, even for SF.

    This is right in line with the other spots I’ve lived in the city (SoMa, avenues).

      This is definitely normal for SoMA but down at 2nd st is approaching the financial district which is usually a bit quieter at night. I can understand someone who’s just not used to it, or used to living in noisy parts of the city being upset or surprised about it.

      But also 2nd/folsom is right at the bridge on-ramp which I would imagine is getting a fair deal of freeway noise 🤷‍♀️

        Idk, this is firmly in the SoMa/ “East Cut”. They just don’t like robotaxis. :P
