I admit as a Conservative that the San Fran bashing gets old and to me, the fact that prices are so high to live there demonstrates its desirability. It is a bit funny that they do all these crazy things there though....I think they have to keep their crazy stuff going to prevent Seattle trumping their lunacy.
It's pretty bad there that's for sure. I was in the Civic Center area a few months ago and couldn't believe the difference walking one block could make. BART smelled awful too. I've decided that working in SF for 10 years and visiting for over 30 more was enough for me and I don't need to go back any time soon.
That said how in the world do you get the average age of death is 36?
From a speech an Oklahoma legislator gave last summer on the subject of drugs and criminal justice. He said:
"I checked the statistical data for Atoka County the other day. Average age of death--36. One of the big problems is people OD. It's not like everybody is dying down there, but when you got 18 and 19 year olds dying on overdoses, then it typically brings your numbers down quite a bit. Or I'm going to assume that is what it is. I haven't really studied it."
Maybe there is a big difference between how you arrive at life expectancy and average age at death.
I should add that he admitted to smoking train loads of pot while young. LOL That's living proof there that banning pot doesn't work.
San Francisco is such a craphole, one of the richest cities in the entire world with great employment opportunities.... but wait, there's one easily avoidable neighborhood where homeless people poop on the sidewalk. That makes it literally the worst place in the country and I'd rather die than set foot in it. I do not have the skills to ever be able to live there but in my jealous rage I obsessively post about it on the internet.
What an insanely dishonest post. Flipping from average age of death to life expectancy.
Why are you intentionally trying to mislead people?
Basically, if you have to resort to stuff like this, you're comments are just garbage.
(THe Atoka life expectancy is up near San Frans fyi)
