The problem is that it's hard to do a decent parody of San Francisco, as the place is a parody of liberalism.

It's full of Poo. But take away the Poo, and you have one of the most beautiful cities in the entire nation.......

It's amusing how people get so worked up over a city they:
A - don't live in
B - will never live in
C - will never visit
D - have never been to
To: Grando Calrissian
Oh, and I like the ones that do nothing but bad mouth everyone in Cal, and then turn around and beg them to leave Cal and come to their states. LOL!

The best description I've heard is "Kindergarten Socialism". The City's in real trouble, though, once Brown leaves. I cringe at having to listen to Mayor Ammiano's voice the next four years.
To: Joe Hadenuf
It's nice. I think Colorado Springs has it beat. Beautiful setting AND full of conservatives.

Watch Ammiano resolve the issue of people leaving using the classic socialist solution--put up barbed wire, mines, and concrete walls.

Different strokes. It's always been my opinion that California hasn't been screwed up by the natives but by the people that have moved here from elsewhere the last 15 years or so. Most of the people leaving SF are people who recently arrived anyway. Good news in my book. More parking, cheaper rent, less traffic, people are starting to smile at each other again.
To: Poohbah
I believe he's already on record stating that he'll institute a City Income Tax at $125,000, which is close to the median household income. I am sure that if Ammiano becomes mayor, the City will become bankrupt within 2 years.
To: Poohbah
Colorado Springs is also loaded with illegal aliens.....And unfortunately, more on their way.....I have always loved SF, it's a very unique town, with a whole lot to do and see. Like everything else, to many and or the wrong kind of people can ruin it.

I was originally from Chicago suburbs, lived in SF for ten years and loved it. When I went back to Chicago after an absense of two decades, I found it horrible shape. Many more bums than SF, more buildings boarded up, a dreadful atmosphere pervades that once bustling city. I'd move back to SF tomorrow if I could afford it.

If you are mentioned with Flint or Gary in a list of cities, it usually isn't good.

North Las Vegas, Nevada came in second with Rancho Cucamonga near Los Angeles; Henderson, Nevada; and Joliet, Illinois rounding out the top five.
One of these places is not like the others.

Los Angeles/Southern California: Dallas/Ft. Worth with a beach and more Asians. Overall, a nice place to visit, not so nice to live since Gray Davis happened. LA hasn't been a nice place to live for a long, long, long time.

LA hasn't been a nice place to live for a long, long, long time. Actually LA has some very nice areas, with some of the best climate on earth to boot, as a matter of fact, there are probably more wealthy folks that live in and around LA than any other region of the country. I am talking private jet aircraft and elevators in their homes. Big bucks.
I could name at least 30 areas around the greater LA area that are outstanding beautiful, places. Unfortunately, you need big bucks to live in those areas......If these areas were not super nice, with weather to match, the super rich wouldn't be there.......Plain and simple......
