“....especially in San Francisco.”

Usually I will defend California from blanket
attacks from fellow FReepers who appear to
lump we conservatives in with the whacko left
majority. But though I am a fan of Bay Area sports
teams I cringe when San Francisco libs brag about
being an economically successful liberal city. The
truth is they drive the poorest of the poor away
and support the rest. They deserve to be called out.

San Fransisco is Wealthy for the same reason that New York and Boston are Wealthy; Geography.

For some reason it appears to be human nature to give oneself credit for ones prosperity even though it is caused by other factors.

Any city built in an optimal location for a major transhipment port is destined to be wealthy. After that, Wealth Attracts Wealth. There is a sort of synergy that occurs when Wealthy people concentrate in an area.

I thought SF was a "sanctuary" city that welcomed the homeless.
