Let me count the ways!
Oh, what the hell am I saying.. it's San Francisco! Traditional families are so 1960s!
Seriously, if San Francisco wanted children to live there they would tell their bohemian residents to keep their clothes on in public places. No decent parent wants to subject their children to the ruling trashiness there.
A business contact in San Fran once told me “when we hire people, we tell recruiting firms to not even bother with candidates who are married with children, or planning to have children. They will take one look at the cost of housing here, realize that no matter how hard they work they will never, ever be able to afford a house, and then they’ll turn down the offer.”
Sounded like they had been through that drill many times before.
Here we are talking about families with children leaving San Francisco, and that can't be addressed on it's own merits. No diversity actually trumps when the problem is addressed. '...essential to a diverse thriving city.' This should read, '...essential to a thriving city.'
The big sins here are, older, more wealthy, and a more White city. You've got evidence of prejudice against the elderly, the wealthy, and Whites.
Leave out the wealthy and White portion of this, and it is reasoned to address the elderly because you need replacement people in any society. Add those in, and ageism becomes something of a problem too.
God forbid a subject of importance be raised without racism and prejudice rearing it's ugly head.
I would not advocate for a Whites only town, but if that is the eventuality, it's not a crime against nature. It would have happened because Black families made choices that were theirs to make. There could just as easily crop up a town that was all Black. Big whoop. Who cares.
Families with kids are leaving San Francisco. Who could have seen that coming? LOL, they made their own bed, now let them sleep in it with whoever they want, and shut up.
Let me guess what's next here. They'll start subsidizing Blacks with children who will move back into town. I'll bet this was the main goal all along, to justify the unjustifiable.
being "older,whiter, and richer" is not a good thing apparently.....and here I've hit the first two....
After decades of anti-family policies, SF wants families to stay???
This is almost as preposterous as Sleep Train, after jumping ship and spending three days castigating Rush Limbaugh, asking to return to his show as a sponsor.
They only want the children because they are pedophiles.
“No, honey, don’t look back.”
Been happening since 1968.
The real exodus was 1968-78. School attendance almost halved. The biggest factor was integration/busing, that was the last straw for many.
Since then its been a slow steady decline.
There are periodic laments like this published every once in a while. I have been seeing them since the early 1980’s. They mean nothing.
Sodom.
I’d take my kids out of there too. Who wouldn’t? The schools are liberal re-education camps, but then so are most of the burbs too.
Come ON!!!!
Does any sentient human have any QUESTION about why this is happening?
I actually LIKE SFO, but I won't take my kids there.
Why live in SF when an illegal alien can be released from jail for the fourth time and murder most of your family? Sanctuary indeed.
There’s nothing wrong with San Francisco that couldn’t be cured with a five megaton fusion warhead. That’s what Ive always said.
!
Looks like the homosexuals are taking over San Fran!
dang heteronormative breeders!!!
Don’t they know they’re the only reason gay/liberal/pro-abortion teachers have jobs!!!
What a bunch of haters!
Most people don't want to have to attempt to raise children around such a "gay friendly" sinkhole like San Francisco. That choice was made a long time ago, and now the city reaps the 'reward' of said choice.
So, what will hizzoner do? Force people at gunpoint to stay in his sinkhole city to achieve his "vibrancy of our neighborhoods"? I wouldn't put it past him...
the infowarrior
What normal married couple (man and woman) would voluntarily try to raise children there?
I love visiting San Francisco. Great city but no way in hell I would live there. Way to screwed up thanks to the nutbag liberals.
