you haven’t been to San francesspool, have you?
japan is a VAST improvement
What? No one ran up to you and put flowers in your hair?
Lol. San Francisco has one of the LEAST amounts of native San Franciscans living in their own city. The City by the Bay is populated by Other Americans, so if there is cesspool, it's imported from the other 49.
It DOES have the highest number of banks in the state, maybe the rest of the country. The banks bring jobs. People flock to a city where there are JOBS.
Housing is expensive, but it's VERY expensive ALL OVER the Bay Area. It doesn't get cheaper until you hit the deserts or the "pucker-brush" towns. That would be in the central valley, full of crops, crop dusters, crop dusting pollution, bugs that eat crops and lots of fresh fruit and veggies. MMMmmm.
But, I admit, I haven't been to Japan. It was too expensive. I went to China. I traveled over much of the world, lived in the middle east for five years...and when we came home for good (gone 5 years) I KISSED the ground of this blessed country. San Francisco has almost every place beat....AND it has a Japan town where I can eat ALL the delicious Japanese food I want. I don't even have to bring a samurai sword with me.
BTW, since the lefties have managed to convince much of the insane world that homosexuality is okey-dokey, the gays have MOVED OUT of the City by the Bay and have gone all over the state and country, where they are accepted as normal.
No, any place where kiddie porn is LEGAL and society makes kids think prostitution is just another fine way to earn “pocket money”, is not much improvement. I think a nuke would be a vast improvement for both cities.
