You're right - the bastards ruined a once-great city - where people could walk around anywhere at night safely. Now there are neighborhoods where people don't go in the daytime. The last time I was in the Mission, it looked (and smelled) like Tijuana. If someone was knocked out, and carried to the Mission, when he woke up he might think he was in El Salvador. My son lived for several years south of Market Street near the corner of 5th and Harrison; the bums stole his car registration sticker by cutting off a thrid of the license plate - twice! They broke into his car and stole - dirty laundry! San Francisco still has some nice places - but the list is getting smaller every year as the vermin, the gay jerkoffs and the commie politicians make it more of a cesspool than a city.

Oh man !

The Mission is cool, dude.

Get off the train at 24th then I take my boy down the street there and buy pasteles and eat at a Taqeria, and then you can get polboron from the Filipino bakery. Nobody is going to bother you, its fun.

Hey, they're poor, but these people are making money, moving up. Some are moving to San Ramon, making room for the next guy off the plane. So it goes. There are 10,000 Horatio Alger stories there. The Mission is NOT depressing. Hunters point IS depressing. But then I understand it was always depressing. The Castro is just weird.
