For those of us who’ve lived in The City for awhile, it takes a lot to get us to raise an eyebrow: A dude walking down the street wearing nothing but a Giants cap and a cock sock? We call that Tuesday. A lady who’s dyed her dog’s fur pink to match her own? That’s just Lisa. Paying $900 month at age 37 to have three roommates and no living room? That’s called adulthood.
There are oodles of quirky things we take for granted here, but there are also sad ones to which we’ve become all too accustomed: Expecting your car to get broken into if you leave so much as a few visible pennies. Being able to walk by poop and know if it’s human or animal just by the wafting smell. Seeing the sidewalk littered with needles. Having neighbors who sleep in tents each night. Having friends and loved ones evicted and pushed out of The City due to rampant greed. Watching someone rant and scream and thrash at some invisible foe. All of these daily occurrences.
School board president Matt Haney, who’s also running for District 6 supervisor, recently wrote on Facebook about showing members of New Zealand’s parliament around San Francisco and how shocked they were at our city’s “brutal inequality.”
“It crowded out everything else, unavoidable, relentless, omnipresent, but normalized,” Haney wrote.
“Normalized” is the key word; for those of us who live here, none of it is shocking. It’s just our everyday lives.
Think about the last time you were truly stunned by something you saw in San Francisco — something that made you stop what you were doing and say, “Wow …”
Mine was a couple years ago...

Karl Malden weeps if he really cared about SF.
Yeah but it is gay-friendly
Nuke the site from space. It’s the only way to be sure.
Several years ago a pastor from Hong Kong (already Communist) preached at our church about how he had recently visited San Francisco and how shocked he was at how immoral and sick it was compared to China, and that he feared for the safety of his young granddaughter who was with him. Coming from a guy who lives in Communist China, that’s a pretty strong indictment.
“ A handful of people are becoming unfathomably wealthy while a larger group of people are so unconscionably poor that they have no choice but to defecate in the street.”
Author is too young to remember the Soviet Union.
Even Lot would have a hard time finding 1 righteous man.
San Francisco is, and has been for a very long time now, a $pithole
“Karl Malden weeps if he really cared about SF.”
And Jack London.
The old democrat jerk Tony Bennet left his stool in San Francisco.
I think I’ve lived a sheltered life.
What is a cock sock?
Don’t come to Arizona.
“Nuke the site from space. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Tacticals to minimize fallout.

What is a cock sock?

Google it. (No don’t!) I’ve heard the term before. Also banana hammock.
As the late theologian RC Sproul used to say, “The norm becomes the normative. What is accepted soon becomes acceptable.”
He was so very right on this.
Socks for your rooster
Literally a sock that an otherwise naked man wears over his member while in public. It’s a game some groups play.
“I’m not really nude. I’m covered where it matters. I’m a clothing minimalist. Yeah, that’s the ticket!”
Right.
And what political party has a stranglehold on the city government? And how long have they had this stranglehold?
WaitaMinute! “rampant greed? I don’t believe it. There is NO WAY a progressive paradise like SF could be affected by greed.
You always think it can't get any worse or more insane but it always does.
It's gotten so bad that even the lunatics are having a hard time dealing with the non existent quality of life.
It will never change because San Francisco is far left liberal utopia and the lunatics running the asylum like it just the way it is and many are so disconnected from reality they don't know any other way of life.
The only thing San Francisco has to offer is the right to live out your own personal insanity The City.
They tolerate others right to flaunt their anything goes dysfuctionality because their flaunting of their own personal equally dysfunctional anything goes lifestyle in a collective showing of mutually accepted dysfuctionality
