The Bay Area is a beautiful place, but for some reason the power of evil is strong there.

We need Bridge Control. Does San Francisco have a Bridge License. Do they realize that Bridges Kill People? Do they realize that 46 people would still be alive if this bridge had been taken down, a step that any sane person can see would be the prudent thing to do.

Obama nudges Clinton into second place, and Carter into third, for highest number of suicide jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge during one of the years of their presidency.

I have always wanted to surf at Fort Point under the bridge. I might have to rethink that particular item on my bucket list.

That is one every 8 days. There was a documentary made a few years ago where they just left a camera running pointed at the bridge. One guy who survived says he knew the instant he jumped that he had made a mistake. He asked God to save him.

i concur... there is so much i love about the city of San Francisco itself... the quirkiness--i do not mind... i can even appreciate... but there is such depravity--in various forms... such a bastion of that dark element in that city...

I saw a documentary about SF that showed an infestation of drug addicts, a lot of whom were transients. The places shown looked like real sh*tholes. That said, I bet the guys are really friendly . . . :-(

Just be glad that the courts keep saying no every time another greedy plaintiff lawyer tries to sue the taxpayers who own the bridge.

They should close the bridge. It obviously kills people.

Indeed!

amongst many of the so called churches here are those in which one would be hard pressed to FIND a Bible.

the Precursor to the UN......the League of Nations was in San Francisco.
