Americans get to see close up San Fransicko values in Congress next year. Sodom By The Bay.

The tourist sights are incredible. Trust me though, I couldn't afford to live there. Housing is uber-expensive.

A huge percentage out in the Richmond district, and Sunset district. And most are ILLEGALS with anchor babies.

LOL! I remember when anarchists on the Haight did some illegal things to chain stores. And that horrible drugstore on Haight Street (Upper Haight) which fought tooth and nail to keep any drugstore chain out.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I've seen the homeless doing it on Market Street, and The Gays doing it in the bushes in the park. Buenavista Park in the Haight is where there are hustlers, but because of the Gay Agenda, the city looks the other way.

And the windmills in the GG Park. Again, the Gay Agenda rules, and looks the other way. White liberals get disgusted, but, have conflicts with their liberalism about things like that.

We finally left. In June.

I'm breathing a HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

You're 100% right.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

I can not stand Mayor Moron, and you're totally right. I don't know if you remember me, but we moved to Santa Rosa, and it's fantastic.

Wonder how far Jaclyn plans to go in life living on kindness?

She's 25. Wait til she's 55, a druggie, sick and homeless and see how many people will toss her a quarter.

[BunnySlippers]

Trust me though, I couldn't afford to live there.

I suppose homelessness is not an option? ;-)

[goldstategop]

If they offer me a duplex and someone else pays the mortgage, I'll reconsuder San Francisco. Otherwise no can do.

The reason is, people pay them to stay. Every time you plunk money into their cup, you are paying them to stay. They may be homeless, but they're not fools. They're going to stay where they're being paid.

I'll never forget my first day in the bay area. The company flew me into SFO and put me up in a hotel on 8th and Market. Being a wide eyed Midwesterner I took a walk the first night several blocks down Market and back to take in some sights. I was panhandled at least 5 times. One of those panhandlers I gave $5.

When I returned to the hotel I stopped in the lobby bar and while talking to the bartender I told him what I did. The bartender became very serious and told me never do that again. He went on to say how many of the panhandlers can make 20,000- 25,000 dollars a year begging, tax free. Begging is a business in SF.

I've learned since then the best way to politely blow off a begger is say to them when panhandled, " I've already given to someone today." They'll leave you alone with that line.

I'm complaining because it was Moron Newsom's campaign promise that he would do something to clean up the homeless situation. It was an empty campaign promise, as we have seen. With all these stories of bums relieving themselves publicly (uh, can't you freepers make your images a little less graphic?), maybe I'll call the mayor's office to complain.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Hi, yes, I remember you! I haven't seen your name in a long time. Congratulations on making it out of the city. < :D
