Maybe he just loves the smell of homeless and rich internet dweebs.

OR, he might love the smell of the fresh, pure, clean air coming in from the Pacific ocean;

OR the westerly winds that come in daily (between 2:00 and 3:00 P.M.) that blow all the smog to Oakland and San Jose;

OR the smell of fresh hot dogs at a Giants baseball game;

OR the sight of doggies and hang gliders at Fort Funston;

OR the fog that keeps away 99.9% of any mosquitoes and flies;

OR the sight of our NAVY steaming in under the Golden Gate Bridge during Fleet Week;

OR the smell of fresh crab and other seafood on Fisherman's Wharf;

OR the sight of the fog rolling in on a warm day, cooling off our heated brows;

OR the sight of the wonder-bridge--GOLDEN GATE Bridge... and all the other bridges in the area:
2. San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge
3. San Mateo-Hayward Bridge
4. Dumbarton Bridge
5. Richhmond-San Rafael Bridge
6. Carquinez Bridge

OR the smell of all the food from the 4,000+ restaurants in San Francisco

OR the outstanding views from Twin Peaks (both day and night) -- July 4th being the BEST of the best views;

OR the interesting sights of Chinatown;

OR the sight of all the sailboats out on the bays during a wonderful, sunny, windy weekend;

OR the views of the area from the myriad of bay cruises;

OR the sightseeing on Alcatraz;

OR the sight and sounds of the seals down at Fisherman's Wharf and/or the Cliff House, begging for food;

OR the world-class San Francisco opera, ballet and symphony to hear and see;

OR the glorious sights and sounds of the BLUE ANGELS who come in every October and "show their stuff."

The "dweebs," as you so cavalierly, detrimentally and dismissively describe them, LIVE in San Francisco and WORK in Silicon Valley, the 'burbs...as there IS no night life down there.
At least the "dweebs," as you so cavalierly, detrimentally and dismissively describe them, HAVE jobs, DO work and pay LOTS of $$$$$$ to the IRS.

**Even the homeless have dwindled down to almost nothing because it is simply TOO COLD for them during most of the year...especially summer. They DO like Los Angeles as it's usually warmer.
Quote from MARK TWAIN: "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco."

The "wet" season is from mid-October to mid-April. You rarely hear of any West Coast baseball game rained out...Padres, Angels, Dodgers, A's and Giants.
The "dry" season is from mid-April to mid-October and the IDIOT weather forecasters in the country always BABBLE on about the California drought because they are TOO STUPID to know the West Coast weather patterns.

A two-bedroom, two-car garage home (all wood) in San Francisco sells for $1.2 MILLION, at the VERY least.

So, YOU are in the minority with your attitude.
However, there really ARE too many people in California and it would be NICE if they went back home to their own neck of the woods. After all they are USED to miserable winters, tornadoes, snow storms, hottern-hell summers, run-down inner cities with high crime rates...and all that good stuff.

The only problem WE had were the nasty crows that killed and ate the local birds, robins, yellow songbirds, blue birds, etc. They never gave the owl or blue jays any crap. My husband got rid of them with his pellet pistol...and now that he has passed I have kept them away with the same, said pellet pistol.
The red-tailed hawks are flying again and all the others are baaaaaacccck...except for the crows. I am READY for'em!

BTW, my husband packed, legally. He taught me to shoot and I did like the little Beretta. One of the posters here told me about a small Glock. I have a small hand for my size so I might try the Glock.
I enjoyed shooting. My husband used a target of bin Laden's face. I could nail that sucker's beard pretty regularly.

Have I missed anything?

<><><><>

LOL.

I think you missed the Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery on Haight Street for one.

And the bar on the Embarcadero that has the infamous wall of taps.

You mentioned Chinatown but not that little Vietnamese joint serving excellent pho just down the street from the great dim sum place (that i don’t know the name of but visit every time I’m in town).

Or the great walk through the park to get from the piers over to the Marina district.

Or the little vintage guitar store just south of Market.

Have I missed anything?

Yes, why you're so defensive of a liberal cesspool like frisco.
