Even by San Francisco standards the Tenderloin is a dump.. if it wasn’t for all the import/export that comes through that town for folks to suckle off of, it would look like Detroit.
I’m not sure what you are talking about, CAPA is nowhere within 2 blocks of the largest club in the region, its on 9th Street.
The only club close to it is called Blush, which has been a strip club in one form or another for many decades... and while it does more advertising than most in town it is not remotely one of the largest, in fact its one of the smallest in terms of size. The place is maybe the size of most folks gamerooms.
The largest in square footage right now is probably Cheerleaders, which is out in the strip districts, nowhere near CAPA.
If it makes you feel morally better, they did buy up and tear down another club in the downtown area to build that african american center that they spent untold gobs on.
In all honestly, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has cleaned up downtown a huge amount in the past 20 years, much of the Cultural District as it now stands was not all that long ago nothing but porn theaters, adult bookstores and problem bars not all that long ago.
Well, at least now you have a 10-year supply of salt.
I grew up in and around San Francisco. Yes it is chock full of people that would not like this website one bit, but you would be surprised at how many would. For one, there is a huge asian population - they are not liberal or gay by any means.
I’ve got family there and in the Bay Area, and my cousin just had a baby in SF a few weeks ago. From a scenic standpoint, it is one of the most beautiful areas of the country, but personally, when I visited, I never felt comfortable there. The politics and values there are viscerally offensive, almost as if they delight and revel in immorality, and it is ugly and in-your-face. The joke that they consider themselves tolerant goes only so far as to be accepting of similar-minded offensiveness. To call the place “liberal” is an insult to the word, “fascistic” is far more appropriate and fitting.
You cannot have a place where people vote 90% the same way and of the mindset they champion and consider it a good place. There was still hope for the city in the 1970s, but they chose the path of darkness. As for its Asian residents that might seem a possible future hope for some level of rationality, I’m afraid even they have been effectively assimilated into the ultraleft fascist hive mindset. It will likely take an act of God to set the place straight again.
