You ever been to San Francisco?
Yes, I have. And like every other big city, it has its good sections and its not so good sections.
But, in order to be a proper right wing asshole, one needs to take an isolated incident and make it the norm.
And to be a proper left wing drone, one needs to ignore anything that goes against the narrative.
It's ironic someone named Mr Clean is in favor of people being able to shit wherever they want.
Nobody said that. Why can't the right wing idiots on this board stop making shit up?
All the lefties seem to brush it off as no big deal, so it must imply support of it.
Is it a big deal to you? San Francisco like any other city has a lot going for it and of course challenges as well. This is one of theirs. The city through tourism, tech and rich people choosing to live there has been very fortunate. The down side is that it's now very expensive to live in and one mistake I think they are making is their zoning laws with building height limitations and relatively small amount of space. In a sense San Francisco's problem is they are a victim of their own success. However, it's not the entirety of what the city is. It's one of the top tourist destinations in the country.
If you haven't gone, I suggest you do, it's very much a three dimensioal place that has all sorts of good and bad.
I have my own viewpoint as a resident of the other progressive utopia, NYC.
Homeless on the trains is up, street cleaning is down, and more and more middle class people are leaving. But the pols worry about plastic bags and bullshit like that instead.
Progressive policies create a 1984 situation, except in the case of NY and SF, the Outer Party is leaving, with only the Inner Party and the Proles remaining.
