Mark Morford is but one example why I won't spend a quarter to buy that stinkin' paper.

luminously progressive How lovely. I haven't gone to SF in ages, even though it's just across the bay from where I live. It's a filthy place. Aggressive panhandlers. If you get there before the merchants wash the sidewalks off with water and bleach, you have to step around drunks sleeping in doorways, puddles of pee, piles of human poop, and volumes of vomit. If you go to Golden Gate park, you have to be careful about wandering off the path. There are used hypodermic needles in the bushes, as well as human waste. I'm not sure what the homicide rate is, but it was reported last year that the SF Police only solve about 25% of the homicides. How progressive.

I read through the rest of the article. What unfettered filth. He is worshipful of hedonism. Gah.

Most of us love the bubble, are exceedingly proud of the bubble, kneel at its gloriously flawed but still radiant altar. Anti-progressives want to burst that bubble? Have at it, honey. Go on and burst it -- all over the rest of the country. C'mon, you know you want to.

This makes me literally nauseated. Worshipping at the "radiant" altar of hedonism.

Its a city not a suburb.

If you hang around certain places in SF, yes you would see all these sights. If they bother you, avoid Civic Center and Market Street between Montgomery and Van Ness. Golden Gate park is messy and disreputable on the far eastern side. Then there is skid row, the shipyard and the poorer neighborhoods, but those places are the same anywhere.

The rest of the place, Golden Gate park included, is neat, clean, safe and beautiful as anywhere in the world, and far more so than most.

Now that the freaks, perverts, and rabid lefties have ruined SF (and many other places), they'll be coming to a neighborhood near us any time now.
