I'm with you. I love shows that make the city the show is set in a character within itself. I really get the sense, it was just chosen for the location and city archive footage they had. They barely tapped into the culture of San Francisco. The show needed someone in the writers room or crew who lived in SF, and could really help with the history the culture. Or even made the trip to the city for research, wherever they set it. I wished it was. I was so upset to hear that the house wasn't even in San Francisco, and it wasn't filmed there. But, I kinda guessed since I spotted quite a few locations that looked like LA and it had me confused. You could be right, Emmett. Maybe that's why they picked that location. They didn't do very many episodes where the city was apart of the show's culture. Apart from China Town, Alcatraz Island and the great Earthquakes of San Francisco.
I think it might've had to do with The WB not being as big of a network like CBS, NBC or ABC. Had it been on CBS, I'm sure that network would have big enough budget that they could've or would've been able to afford to film the show in San Francisco.
It likely was a budget reason. Nowdays they don't even film too many shows in LA because it costs too much. LOL I do really wish San Francisco was its own character in the show. It's too bad.

I'm sure that was the reason. Everything films in Canada now. Apparently its cheaper than LA. LOL I do too. That's the worst part of the show. I'll always wonder why they picked that location to begin with. Unless it really was to take advantage of all the stock footage of San Francisco as someone mentioned in this thread above.
