Whoever stared this, thank you, I forgot how great of a city SF is.
I wouldn't trade growing up there for the world, even if people shit in the ghettos.
How is the weather? it won't even hit 60' today probably. FTR, I've never exp a flood, Tornado, or a Hurricane.
One of the best things about SF, is you are a drive away from anything.
You want heat? drive 25 minutes east, you want a (real) beach? drive 40 minutes south.
Santa Cruz beach boardwalk 1.5 hrs and Tahoe is 3.5 hours.
SF owns land up near Tahoe called Camp Mather. Its like Meatball’s,
a private Lake, a ranch w/horses, campfire’s, talent shows, hikes Angora Lake, hoedown dances,
(So if you are a country bumpkin, you are not far from country living, There are even "Saddle Racks" bars in the bay area)
& if you had a better summer job than I did dealing blackjack there, my hat is off to you.
They hired extra help for the summers/x-mass. We worked from 6pm-2am, drank til 5am,
slept til noon, hit the beach, got to work by 6. Then did it all over again the next day. Making more money than you could spend, in a gambling town.
But please, you guys focus on those 4 sq. blocks (if that) in a city 47 sq. miles wide. That is like saying Portland is out of control, when again, it is like 4 blocks that are out of control in a city 145 sq. miles wide. …………………..Half-truths are lies, you guys watch propaganda.
