And Signature SFO, where the private jets land, is completely separate and far apart from the airport to the east. It’s a beautiful setting and the last time I was out there I walked right out and got on a Gulfstream V, to visit with the pilot. We were waved through without going through any security checks at all. It really is different for the 1%.

Run SF airport by an admission fee of say $10 for a three-hour pass.

And don't ask federal taxpayers to pay for your inability to properly manage a political subdivision.

This also happens in Honolulu.

Interesting. The first time I flew commercial to Hawaii was an intro to a land with internal passports. One would think most squatters in Hawaii would be related to a local. Everyone else better hold a job or be on vacation with a round trip ticket.

They should set up a tent city on the tarmac.

there’s just nowhere else for people to go

?? The entire city is where they all "go".

People already understand that airplanes function as disease vectors, now it's the airports themselves, starting with SFO.

Diseased policies lead to diseased infrastructure. Birds of a feather, wings of abomination..

Is it the collapse of the wave function when metaphors become the reality?

Soon the airports will be filled with sleazy people as the bus and train stations were from the 1920s-1960s. Watch your pockets!

**I stopped using my local library for that reason long ago.***

There was a time when museums and libraries were open to the public, and clean and free. Then the vagrancy laws were thrown out. To keep the bums out the museums started charging a small fee, but the libraries were still available.

Last time I was at my favorite city library I noticed every spot on the couches and chairs was taken up by an unshaven dirty bum. Not long ago it closed for cleaning as some bum had brought in and infested the place with bedbugs.

If I was a billionaire, I would pay as many homeless and illegals as I can to breach Nanzis walls and give them all tents and food and repeatedly pay their bail to return to Nanzis

I live in Marin County and Marin County fight tooth and nail to keep BART out for many years and you can probably see why

San Rafael where the railroad and the buses all show up has major homeless problems

In Fairfax we have like three homeless guys and I know them all by name and where they live in the woods

Ahh...

San Francisco and Seattle.

The two prettiest cities in the United States reduced to stinkin’ piles of sh!t.

I remember when...

***I guess the homeless like nice scenery and climate, too.***

I remember an old joke from the 1930s about two bums deciding whether or not to go to California. One bum said there were no jobs in California, and the other said “At least we can enjoy the climate while starving!”

Maybe the same for Hawaii. How did they get there?

I read an op-ed article about Seattle in a San Francisco newspaper around 30 years ago. The female author had just visited Seattle and loved it. She lamented about how nice it was compared to what SF had become (even back then) and I remember this line (I paraphrase): Seattle is wonderful, it is what SF was like ten years ago.

My gut response: uh oh...

And here I am now in beautiful rural Kentucky, and so’s one of my daughters and her husband now. :D

Don’t get me started on airports or any other gathering place for that matter. There should be alw that says if you don’t have ticket you cannot enter the building...PERIOD. I hate having to get past the goodbye/hello crowds at airports.

Same with stores. Quit bringing in all of your kids and elderly relatives shopping with you except young babies who remain in the carts. Costco is so bad in the Eastern Washington stores as they are flooded with immigrant families and their half a dozen or more kids and their elderly relatives that you can’t hardly get into the stores let alone down the aisles, and then they let them run amok and out of control..

Sorry about the rant but this is one of my pet peeves as I have developed as I have gotten older..

If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear
Some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet
Some gentle people there

For those who come
To San Francisco
Summertime
Will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people
With flowers in their hair

I was in the SF airport July of '68 on my way home from VN. Could not believe the wall-to-wall dirty hippies.

IT’s a unique kind of migratory mutation of the human species.. extensive studies should be done.. or just provide flights outbound with homeless to sanctuary countries, warm ones like Honduras, Guatemala, Venezuela.. Cuba
