Child Population Dwindles in San Francisco

Yahoo/Reuters ^

"I wonder how many of the 14.5% of San Francisco residents who are under 18 are teenage runaway street hustlers."

Boy, ain't that the truth. Although I haven't been to San Francisco in 10 years when I was there last I was struck by all the homeless kids. By the looks of them they looked homeless by choice.

Used to have to visit Decatur IL every once in a while. I can top you.

Ever been to Bovina Texas? There are something like a couple hundred thousand cows and a few hundred people. The land used to be red soil, now it is brown. Bet you can guess why.

Ever been to Bovina Texas?

I've been to Muleshoe, TX, and Bucksnort, TN. Nothing terrible about either one :-).

[redgolum]

Went to a nice park outside of Muleshoe once. I am like to varmit, and it made me laugh that the dang praire dogs came up to the car and begged!

[Tax-chick]

I think I have a Muleshoe postcard somewhere :-).

Several locations in Oklahoma have "domesticated" prairie dogs, but they tend to carry diseases, unfortunately.

The interesting thing is that Manhattan is headed in the exact opposite direction. The number of "Yuppie baby" toddlers is exploding. In fact, New York county (Manhattan) was the only one in the state to gain white, non-hispanic 0-4 year olds from 2000-2004 - up 24% by my calculations.

Link please?

Oops, I didn't think about that! The whole concept of Admin Mod just seems so masculine ...

Who'd guess that the kiddy population would dwindle in gay capital of the world.
