In days of old
When men were bold
And condoms weren't invented
We'd wrap a sock around our cock
Thus babies were prevented

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...

Lol! My brother lives 100 miles South of SF, so I’ve been in the city, and it is usually cold by my standards.
A former co-worker moved to San Francisco and is paying $2,400/month with parking on the street with help of 2 roommates. He thinks it is a great deal.

San Francisco. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
In truth, I’ve been to SF four or five times in the summer (last time in the late ‘80s though) and more than a light sweater wasn’t needed during the day, if at all. But when the fog rolled in in the evening it did get chilly...
Strangely enough that is gone too,they set up a bunch of nets to keep people from jumping off..
The only thing that could be shocking in SF is a conservative.
