30% of San Franciscans are Asian, relatively prosperous, hard working and religious. Another 20% are Latin Catholics, and the same.

But they are all too busy working and raising their families (and sending them to places like Stanford) to worry about politics.

That leaves the wacko class to run things.

I give SF another 10 years before the majority of downtown residents are homeless crack addicts.

Actually, it's interesting that you should mention this. The last time I stayed in SF was over a weekend about 15 years ago in the heart of the downtown/major hotel area. It was scary walking down the street in the daylight at that time - between the AIDS victims and the crack addicts all begging for either attention or money........

Gee, you expect fewer homeless crack addicts in downtown SF within the next 10 years?

Ten years???? More like ten minutes!

LOL, I left SF 4 years ago after 30 years and most downtown residents were already homeless crack addicts and had been for years. I don't think you've visited SF in many many years.
