He sounds and writes like a terminal HIV version of Baghdad Bob!

This worthless city was attached to the teats of the Clintoons and Jake Reno. When that cash cow left office in Jan 2002, SF's economic free fall went into high gear coupled with Herr Davis's energy blackouts and the falling Clinton dot.com economy.

Worthless companies addicted to cash flows from DC and Sacramento are gone or going bankrupt. Sensible companies have left or are leaving. Unemployment from San Jose through San Francisco is rampant. Rental for offices is dirt cheap and you can get a real bargin if you want to go into this insanity.

The craziness of the streets with the bums and other diseased human garbage was amplified with the violent so called peace marchers. A couple we know, was in SF for a business meeting during the violent march street wars. He is in charge of where meetings are held and born/raised in SF. He will never go back for personal or business visits. Besides the annual meetings not coming back, he will pull the home office out of SF and move elsewhere. His wife and 5 other wives barely escaped injury when they got caught in scene with the anarchists. The anarchists are still on the streets walking around with no problem.

I will not go in for dinners, lunches or plays. More people are seeing it my way.

Boycotting San Franciso is part of my life style. The anti American/diseased maggots in SF are worse than the French are.

Ahem - you are boycotting the place for the sake of a couple of punks on a weekend trip from Eugene, OR ?

There are 750,000 people here, with nearly all of which you would never have a substantial argument. The place has more than its share of eccentrics, but hey, the rest of us aren't chopped liver.

I don't know about federal money, but the dot-com crash was THE source of the current problems, and I doubt the Feds under whoever could have done anything about it, or were feeding the bubble. SJ and the Penninsula are far worse off than SF, BTW, and were always more conservative. Some perspective is due.

A great outline for a movie. You ought to submit it under the title "San Francisco on My Mind." LOL
