Goodbye to San Francisco - We are paying for the privilege of living in a city that hates us.

I don't wish to sound like an Ayn Rand fanatic, because I'm not, but it about time Atlas Shrugged. The socialist leaches must be starved of the blood that sustains them.

As long as the police and other parts of the security apparatus are aligned with the "looters", the only viable option is to leave the scum to their own devices. Soon enough, they will devour and be devoured by their own.

If nothing else it would be something entertaining to watch on the news :) But I think you are on the right track and if something drastic does not change there I only see it getting worse.

The phone book. Most phone books have a different colored section. in which the goverment listings are posted

Your statement borders on the offensive, it reminds me of the days of segregation, you really should be more careful. Don't you just love PC?

[July 4th]

Yeah, 40 years is nuts. A member of my family owns land in NYC on which there's a used car dealership. The owner of the dealership has a 40-year mortgage with my family member for the land...and still has over 20 years to go.

The folks here are never going to figure out that the more money and help you throw in the direction of the homeless the more attractive it will be to come to SF and suck it all up.

Of course when someone does mention anything like this someon points out a deserving family who is living on their car and points out what heartless bastard you are for wanting them to starve.

Anyway,
I'm not giving up yet. I'm starting a new business, butI'm doing it with the idea taht I'm going to have clinets in and out of CA. BEst to have options for the future.

[chance33_98]

Seems like the best business to be in there would be something that has to do with the homeless, if people don't give you money to help then they are homeless haters. Maybe you could give away Tshirts to the homeless with political messages on one side and your business info on the other - people are bound to see it :)

Pacific Heights?

Pacific Heights?

No kidding. It sounds as if the author was so overwhelmed with love for for one particular city that any other considerations were swept aside. Why would anyone surrender their rights in a rent control city?

Also, why rent to someone and then whine about how it worked out? The renter has all the rights. We rented part of our church property to someone. He spray painted his motorcycle black next to the chapel interior! Dumb? Ultimately nothing was harmed, but that's what you get with renters.

It is the rule by the unruly minority -- the criminal aristocracy.

That is exactly what I have done. I've shrugged. I'm not interested in doing anything that results in taxable income anymore. I'm not going to break any laws, I'm just going to restrict my activities to those things that can bring me wealth that is not subject to taxation. Barter is one way. Growing your own food is another. Buying and fixing up houses and then selling them for a profit is another tax free way to create income, at least until the greedy bastards take that one away.

But I've decided that I'm sick to death of working hard, so that most of what I earn gets taken away in taxes. Even WORSE is the fact that the money stolen is then used against me in in every way you can imagine. It's used to teach treason and Bolshevism in the schools. It's used to buy SWAT gear for the local PD so they can terrorize little old ladies. It's used to give free medical and dental and food and housing and education and "cultural support" to tens of millions of people who shouldn't be here in the first place. Not that I can get any of those services, of course. They're only available for the people who BROKE THE LAW by coming here in the first place! Isn't that neat?

It just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

So screw it.

I quit.

There is, as of yet, no law that says that I have to work hard just to support the government. So now it's all about working just a little as possible to keep body and soul together, and let the government choke on it. Let some other sucker work themselves to death so that the government can take most of it. I've shrugged.

And if the Marxist bastards do pass a law forcing me to work, no problem. I'm good at figuring things out. I'm sure I'll find a way to make little problems very big problems. Soon they'll send me home just to get me out of their hair.

You cannot enslave an unwilling mind.

[goodieD]

I don't live on the central coast..I just consider it my 2nd home..but I love it to death.. which part of the county do you live in, north or south?

[FITZ]

(have moved about 4 times in last 6 years and am eyeing New Mexico next year)

Don't bring up New Mexico in a public forum, it's nothing but hot dry desert, who would want to live there?, there's hardly any people, not enough water for anyone. Nothing to see or do ---better find some other place.

[BabsC]

Georgia is rapidly becoming just as bad.

We finally got rid of the McKinneys, but you're right we are sinking too. I left Atlanta and moved to the hills five years ago. With the new Mayor I thought we may have a chance till she jacked up property taxes 51% to pay for the previous mayor and his friends life style that put the city millions of dollars in debt.

Well written, Commander Spivak!

Samantha is one of the excellent producers at KSFO 560, and traveled to Klamath Falls during the protests. An honorable woman!

[rockfish59]

I left in Nov. '99 after 48 years. Mainly because of the rat race bay area, but I also refused to live under the socialist boot. I sure hope voters there clean house in November.
Washington has its kooks for sure, but you'll never get a concealed carry permit in Kommiefornia!

[rockfish59]

In San Francisco he'd be called a 'photo-urinalist!'
Of course they 'care' more than most and I'm sure the deaths will start to decline soon!

[rockfish59]

I agree. My favorite place to go was around Bridgeport.
Bodie was also a favorite haunt.

[bootless]

Yes, she is the same Commander Spivak from KSFO. I don't believe that she and her husband chose to bail just to realize a profit. She's an honorable person (not that there's anything wrong with a profit!). I lived in SF for ten years, hate going back (only go to PacBell Park, or a friend's house if I must), and am GLAD to be outta there.

[Syncro]

In Japan they have 100 yr mortgages!

They are handed down to the next genreation...naturally.
