When it comes to open drug dealing, it’s hard to beat San Francisco’s Tenderloin, where more than half of the city’s drug arrests occurred last year.

“San Francisco’s Tenderloin”

Sounds like a fancy name for a BLIGHTED area to me.

I first visited San Fran circa 2000 and it was a beautiful city. Tenderloin was a little tough, but every city seems to have a rough spot or two. But my overall stay was very positive.

Went back in 2017 and my God. What a change. There’s gated communities for a reason. It was truly surprising in the worst way.

Here’s a thought to ponder
An 1/8 of an ounce of weed sells for $30 in Oregon.
The wholesale price for weed is $30 an ounce. The weed doesn’t need to be processed.
Growers cannot sell directly to buyers. That kind of price differential is going to screw up the system. Your garden variety stoner thinks “I can get heroin for a fraction of that price”

At first I thought it was “Adventures of buttplug and hubby”. Lucky for me, it wasn’t.

The wife is a social worker for the department of public health in San Francisco and works in that district all the time

she’s got a lot of pretty interesting stories

Obviously you’re not allowed to be anything except a full-fledged Marxist liberal working for that department

I’ve been working on my dear wife for a number of years and we do agree that low taxes and being in support of life are both critical issues

The tenderloin and South of market areas of San Francisco are quite something to see - there’s billions of dollars at giant high-rises right next to this seediest stuff that you can’t really imagine

The Mitchell brothers theater on O’Farrell Street is one of the funnier areas
