'''OVERVIEW''' | '''OVERVIEW''' | ||
While every city has its challenges and hurdles, San Francisco offers a rather progressive environment regarding health care. Abortion is legal, Plan B is widely accessible, and there are many low-cost clinics, especially concentrated in the Mission, SOMA, Tenderloin and Haight districts. Due to the recent tech boom, the city has grown increasingly expensive. But there are still quite a few free or sliding-scale clinics, women's clinics, and STD testing facilities. Outside of San Francisco, there are many resources in neighboring Oakland and Berkeley, as well, which can be accessed via BART, the Bay Area's underground rapid public transit. | While every city has its challenges and hurdles, San Francisco offers a rather progressive environment regarding health care.
