Have you asked all those seemingly regular people about their actual politics? The saddest thing is the case of Pombo. That is the archetype of what has happened to California and what will happen to the entire nation if action is not taken. We've gone from cowboys to Chomsky readers.
Check out / Google a book titled "The Clustering of America." The book was way ahead of its time when it was written back in the 80s. Specifically check out "Urban Gold Coast" and "Money Brains and Power."
The saddest thing is, the typical Leftist voter out here is both highly educated and wealthier than 98% of other Americans.
Point of fact, most of our friends out here are fairly apolitical. Of course, they vote how the San Francisco Comical or the Contra Costa Crimes tells them, which is not good.
Pombo's problem is that the last Gerrymandering (aka re-districting) put the fringe of the moonbats in Lamorinda in his district along with the ranchers of Tracy and the Central Valley.
I almost pity McNerney, when he does a Tracy townhall meeting in his Armani suit. Well, maybe not.
If history is any guide, we will indeed suffer from future natural disasters, will capture absolute national media attention after, then will become a great sucking sound drawing in everyone's tax dollars. Witness what occurred in 1989. After that, firestations that had a couple of things knocked off of shelves got 100 grand and higher checks from FEMA.
...as long as they agree with you. If they don't, you'll take nasty to a new low to shut them down. I've seen your 'tolerance' and 'diversity'.
I was born there, and lived in and around the city for about forty years. My father was born there, as was his father and his before him. SF has always been a bit wild and different, but the Moonbats that came flooding in from everywhere else since the Sixties destroyed it. Much of my youth was spent in Marin- that's gone, too.
My finding has been that supposedly apolitical people tend to go Left when the rubber meets the road. The demographic where you live is nearly identical to the one where I live. It reminds me of some of the wealthy suburbs of Boston in an odd sort of way.
And the perimeter keep expanding. The northern San Joaquin Valley is a goner.
Not true for everyone, *Mary*.
I, for example, think *you* are as dumb as a rock.
But that's all.
Now to get my broker on the phone & dump all stock I'm holding for shopping cart manufacturers.
...I can read the tea leaves.
I'm pretty sure David Gold is here in Texas . . . but just in case, I've pinged him.
I live in the East Bay, too. While I may not love the prevailing political views around here, I don't like it when our community gets trashed. It's a cheap shot, like saying Dallas values equals favoring assassination or West Virginia values equals incest. SF does not equate to NAMBLA.
You got that right. Lived in Newton in 1977-1979, native of Brockton. To this day, I've STILL never figured out how the people there could be so stupid to vote for the likes of Teddy Kennedy, Tip O'Neill, Gerry Studds and Barney Frank.
Of course, when I lived in Newton, we had the first Congressman to be booted out by the Vatican (I forget the Reverend's name who was our congress critter).
I left in 2003- people were commuting from Tracy to the Silicon Valley every day- that's like what, three plus hours in the car every day?
I still miss the Bay Area though, in spite of the moonbats.
Sorry, but when the SF Board of Stupid-visors passes some of their lunatic bills and proclamations, it becomes difficult to NOT get trashed.
Reminds me of the Israeli guy I worked with in New York years ago. We were discussing the merits of buying some clothes at one place or another and he looked at me with a straight face and said "What do you want from me? I never buy retail!"
I'll bet the city council of Havana, Cuba is more conservative than San Francisco's.
What makes you say that?

Read it and weep.
Read Cinnamon Stillwell. She's a writer from SF, writes for the San Francisco Chronicle I believe. She is a liberal turned conservative; bright, witty, and a good columnist.
Last time I was there I was followed down the street by stinky, ragged, threatening panhandlers. Or maybe they were local politicians. What a delightful place.
