i’d just as soon burn to death than live in san fran
There are 800,000 folks in San Francisco. I guess the photos you see of the city JUST DON'T oompare to the beauty of, say, Detroit.
The fog, Golden Gate bridge, clean blue skies, thanks to the daily trade winds, Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Twin Peaks, Lombard Street, cable cars, Chinatown, the 49ers, Giants, Victorian hotels, Golden Gate Park and all the musuems, Japanese Tea Garden, Ferry Building, Grace Cathedral, Palace of Fine Arts, the Presidio (now a museum), Japantown, Nob Hill, Pacific Ocean, hang gliding and doggies at Fort Funston, 4000 restaurants (Yes, 4000 restaurants in the City ONLY. Half close every year because of the competition.)
....No, why would YOU want to live here? You wouldn't fit in with all the beauty, cleanliness, fresh air and "only" 800,000 people. THANKS for not coming. We have enough people. :o):o)
I DO have an ex-friend who HATES San Francisco. She grew up in Anaheim and moved here for school (U.C. Berkeley) and stayed to work. She grew to hate it ... because she was/is such an unhappy woman. She won't blame herself for her failures so she blames "nasty" old San Francisco.
I used to travel with her and fellow travelers would ask: "Where are you from?" When they heard "San Francisco," TO THE ONE, they said, "Oh, San Francisco, a beautiful city." She would WRITHE with discomfort and anger. Hahaha, poor woman. She FINALLY moved to the peninsula and is much happier in the 'burbs...from whence she came and where she apparently feels more comfortable.
I don't have ANYTHING to do with her anymore and my life is substantially nicer.
By the way, where did you learn to write? Not in one of our country's public schools, I hope. Perhaps you missed the days when they taught punctuation. Just curious.
The liberals here don't bother me, a staunch Republican and conservative. We don't talk politics...too busy living in all the beauty...and cold.
Yes, it's summer and I am wearing three layers....inside the house. Outside I have to put on the Bay Area "uniform," that is, a HOODED SWEATSHIRT, WITH ZIPPER AND POCKETS. That is what I wear all year around...with an umbrella and raincoat during the winter, sometimes.
