It's here you go and what you expect. It is in my eyes very beautiful, though not well run." You're right. A great deal of that beauty is still there. I just find it incredibly wrong that that most wonderful of cities had to be taken over by people with no respect for themselves and no respect for the City. I still see it as it was 30+ years ago before the gays took over and the homeless trashed the streets and threatened the tourists.

I wish I could have seen it 30 years ago. There are beautiful buildings there, but it's hard to enjoy the sights when you have to watch where you're stepping. To each his own, I guess. I don't enjoy going there. And I avoid places like Oakland and Richmond, as well. I guess I'm a bigot.
