Big mistake.

<><><><

Big mistake not to go to visit a couple of times, if for nothing other than hitting the Magnolia brewpub in Haight Ashbury for a cask barrelled beer/ale.

And then to dinner in Chinatown.

“I’m from the bay area and think it is one of the most beautiful places, or it used to be. There’s just too many people there now.”

Yes and many of those “too many” like to live and defecate on the streets, all while being vigorously protected by their local government.

"Captain de Anza's arrival in San Francisco was the culmination of a long trek from Arizona . . ."

. . . just like all the other illegals from Meh-he-co.

And history repeats itself.

When I was growing up it wasn’t like that. It did start getting crazy in the sixties but it took awhile to get to where they are now. The massive immigration from third world contributed to it a lot.

Sir Frances Drake? Wasn’t he the first to circumcise the
world with a 40 foot clipper?

That was Frances. I am talking about Francis, the manly man, not Frances the girly man.
