Number of children in San Francisco declines
The (San Mateo) Daily Journal ^ | June 20, 2011 | From AP

SAN FRANCISCO — Despite San Francisco officials’ efforts to keep families in the city, the percentage of children among the city’s total population continues to decline, causing concern among family advocates and others.

Just 13.4 percent of the city’s 805,235 residents are younger than 18, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures.

That’s down from 1970, when 22 percent of the city’s population was younger than 18. In 1960, children made up 25 percent of the city’s population, according to the bureau.

Hans Johnson, a senior policy fellow with the Public Policy Institute of California, told the San Francisco Chronicle that a declining number of children in the city indicates that middle-class families are being squeezed out of the city.

In addition, many SF schools are disasters with large dropout rates, and illiterate students.

Competition tactics for slots in the good schools makes piracy look tame.

interesting and true, everywhere in the world. the more “liberal” the society, the fewer children. sometimes i think that explains everything. when you have no family, you want the govt to be that family. when you have family you want the govt to leave you alone.

kind of like the shakers that went the whole way and became extinct becasuse they had no children.

Exactly, only Men and Women as a couple can have children. The only reason San Franfreako is holding on at all is our military men and women are stationed in this area.

Many of them are liberal and choose not to burden themselves and Gia with those useless little carbon creating parasitic vermin.

The city’s name is an insult to the Great Saint.

I’m curious. What does the phrase “family advocate” mean in San Francisco? Can anyone translate that for me into plain English?

Does it include LGBT families? Midnight basketball? A Woman’s Right To Choose? More pay for the Teachers’ Unions?

The majority of people with families cannot afford to live in San Francisco. I personally know one such family. They were taxed out...

LOL, big shocker. Male on male sex and female on female sex doesn't produce children? They even got “married”, yet no children? They can't figure out why not. I mean, gay sex is “natural”, right? It's “normal”, right?

It's like electricity. If you try to screw two light bulbs (incandescent or CFL) together, no light is produced. If you try to screw two light sockets together, no light is produced.

Even if you screw a light bulb into the hole in a donut, or a banana into a light socket, no light is produced.

You're dated King, there have been drastic reductions in military personnel and many base closures.

Treasure Island is now Pelosi Island DemoRat profit center. There's money to be skimmed in SF (if you're a rat).

Glad to hear it. Best headline of the day.

Kids have no business being in a cesspool like SF.

If a man and woman get a child from a stork,
can’t two homos get one from a swallow?

Ok, that WAS bad!
