AzTheta/VandalSquirrel: I remember the debates my address sparked when I moved to "The City" from Berkeley. I lived on Presidio Avenue near Pine Street. I was told I lived in:
1. Presidio Heights (most status-worthy)
2. Western Addition (least status-worthy)
3. Laurel Heights (seemed most accurate)
4. Pacific Heights (what most people understood)
5. Anza Vista

I had a friend who lived on Clayton (well) above Haight. If she was feeling particularly yuppie she said she lived in "Ashbury Heights," if she was being accurate she was being accurate she said she lived in "Twin Peaks," if she was being particularly funky she said she lived in "The Haight," if she was hanging around with gay male friends she said she lived in the "Swish Alps."
