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

Nearly 3 in 4 residents think the quality of life in the Bay Area has gotten worse in the last five years, according to a new poll of registered voters conducted for this news organization and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. That marks an astonishing 10-point jump in dissatisfaction from last year.

Just the last five years?

Can’t beat the weather

Avoid San Francisco

“You voted for it.”

[seawolf101]

High on a hill it calls to me...

But not to worry, Bernie will toss out a few crumbs.

I wonder if he will let a few homeless people move into his 3 dachas? Probably not, huh?

[doorgunner69]

You may have missed those hilarious photos of some SF bum doing exactly what I posted?

Must have missed them. Truth is I won’t go looking. The whole thing actually disgusts me, as I am sure it does you.

#11 Bernie will toss out a few crumbs.

Trump should have a commercial showing Bernie throwing crumbs to people like you would to pigeons.

Weasel Zippers had them. too funny.

My mother in law was born in San Francisco. She loved her city. The Golden Gate Bridge was "her" bridge because they started building it the day she turned ten and she watched it go up.

We scattered her ashes from a boat in the bay because those were her wishes.

I am glad she never saw what San Fransisco became. It would have broken her heart.

“Trump should have a commercial showing Bernie throwing crumbs to people like you would to pigeons”.

That is an excellent idea.

Trump has a lot to work with for commercials. A whole lot.

Bingo!! Shocking, huh? The highest rated problems are the things that affect the daily quality of life, not something that may or may not happen in 100 years. Surprise, surprise. Even in the radical leftist Bay Area, people still have common sense when it comes to prioritizing problems.

[oldenuff35]

SF is a sick bunch or idiots who believe they have the right to run everyone’s life in Cali.

My ass they do. They need to stay in the bay area from birth till death and make each other suffer.

[Freedom56v2]

Actually there are conservatives in California. They are in the shadows and very frustrated.

California election rules allow that can have 2 dems on ballot—no need for competition from a Republican or Libertarian.

Sold the house in San Francisco in 2016 and moved out, had to go back 3-4 times for business over the next couple of years, it got noticeably worse every year and will never go back. Only exception would be to fly into and head up to Mendocino county, still a garden of eden with its redwoods, vineyards and dramatic coast, at two hours away, no metro line and no chance to widen 101 past Marin county it should stay that way a few more years.
