In the ‘80s, I lived across the street from Golden Gate Park out on the Avenues. Liked to walk through the park to the beach, a little over a mile away, sometimes with a dog, sometimes not. Then I’d have a walk on the beach. Very nice people there . Do not recall seeing homeless people then.
Today, apparently, a huge German Shepherd would not be enough, though Pasha would have taken anyone who accosted me to the ground.
SF was so beautiful then. Now I’m glad to live inland in a mostly Republican, mostly safe city. BUT we are expecting 300 refuges from Afghanistan, thanks to Catholic Charities.

I visited there in 1978 and stayed at the Young Men's Christian Association hotel, near Union Square, and a couple years later found a room at a hotel that must have survived the 1906 earthquake. It was still Baghdad by the Bay or Boston West, with its charm and bustle--and there were no bums living in tents. But that now seems like a galaxy far, far away, and I doubt that I'll ever set foot in that town again.
“Catholic Charities”
A very anti-american group, and they make money with every refugee they handle. It’s a business not a charity.
