Bay Area residents — despite being swept up in an unprecedented economic boom — are growing ever unhappier with the place they call home.

That marks an astonishing 10-point jump in dissatisfaction from last year.

I’ve never crapped on a public sidewalk before. Maybe I should take a trip there and give it a go.

It’s such a beautiful place, or at least it was 50 years ago when I lived there. How hard do they have to work to screw it up?

Nah, go into a local supermarket, grab some TP from the correct aisle, take your dump where it pleases you, and leave humming “The Internationale”

SF liberals will cheer you.

Our side just needs to admit that in this war of ideology,we have no ground in the cities,universities and good portion of local and federal government. I am horrified of a 2024 post Trump era. The GOP is simply going to say,”It’s their turn”. There is nobody substantial that I am aware of that will continue MAGA just as there was nobody to continue Reagan’s eloquent vision of America as a shining city on a hill. The scum left mocks both and the fake Republicans dismiss it. If we lose 2020,we lose America sooner, plain and simple.

Take a look at this list of problems that the locals in the Bay Area Counties are experiencing. What's missing? We all know what should be #1 on the list.

“It’s the cumulative weight, like rock after rock placed on your chest, that’s come to a breaking point for many of our neighbors, friends and family members,”

My breaking point came in 1988 - I literally felt as if the tax walls were closing in on me. Bailed that same year and never looked back.

Yes. SF should market it as a feature to get more tourist. Some may want to participate others will just want to stare.

Yet they keep voting in the causes for things getting progressively worse. Go figure, and we are labeled as the dumb ones. 8>)
