you'd think the entire city were one big skid row

The funny thing is about 15% of SF voted Republican so they all are aren't twisted perverts. Notice that the Green candidate got more votes than the Pub! Here are the Gove results

15% voted GOP and you claim that's normal? I might have naively thought the same thing prior to doing quite a bit of travel around the US and seeing how the real US were. You need to get away from the City and see it from the outside looking in. Then you'll understand. Not everyone leveling criticism on this thread is, as Herb Caen would have written, an "auslander!"
