There is a reason the NorCal coast isn't nearly as crowded as SoCal, the East Coast, Hawaii, etc. But on those days it does get into the 70's or even 80's it's packed because that is what most people like but unfortunately our coastline doesn't deliver that on a consistent basis in summer. Do you seriously think weather in the 60's, fog, and 55 degree water appeals to most people for a beach outing?

I can only give my opinion, not most people. Just as you are giving yours. If that ocean wasnt cool California would not have the climate it does, so Im fine with it. There is enough variety that you can go from a foggy beach to a sunny beach in 15 minutes in certain areas. Either is fine with me, but again who cares. This is vastly off topic.

No one goes to any of these 3 cities for the beach. Why are we talking about California and Hawaii now? What does that have to do with NYC, Chic, SF?

Your going around spewing bile under the banner of a people who are unfotunately still mistreated and mistrusted in many sectors of society is not welcome, nor right or fair.

This thread is a mess. Anyway, at least in my part of Chicago, the north side, San Fran and NYC stand out as two premier areas of the country as far as "if I moved somewhere else".

point 1 rebuttal
I have no problem with White people just the breed of white liberal holier than though low lifes who destroy society.

there is a huge difference between the avg white in NY and SF.
point 2 rebuttal
nothing insightful?
how is this not a important point when comparing NY to SF
name me one white neighborhood in SF where majority of whites are ethnic. if I only took the white ethnic parts of NY it would have way more people then SF.

I also happen to know for a fact that the small Russian jewish community in SF is treated like garbage by the avg SF resident. SF is widely considered by many jews to be the most Anti Semitic city in America.

after SF attack on circumcision last year (which to me is the worst anti semetic thing in US history and I know about order 11, Gallagher v. Crown Kosher Super Market of Massachusetts, america's pogroms) I have every right to attack a city that's white (and gay) population gave large support to this atrocity.

point 3 rebuttal
I guess the truth hurts

point 4 rebuttal
Judisim has always been the group that opposed homosexuality the most (read how jews were described by the greeks and romans)
look at how the Jewish community voted against Weprin and Fidler because of "abomination marriage" (and thats how it's called look up the term "Toeiva marriage" on the internet and see what comes up)

Jews who follow Judisim are against gay just like we're against thieves because from a Jewish (from authentic jewish religious sources male homosexual practice is worse) perspective.

please explain to me why the anti circumsion movement is mostly gay and the only parades it marches in are gay pride parades (and they march in a bunch of them). and most of the time gets cheered. If gays were halfway decent people they would run them out of it. I doubt they could march in the Columbus day parade and get away with it.

Well, that's ok then. Because that's what they do, destroy society.

I dont even know why this is a point of contention.

NOOOOO. In California the coastline can be 30-40 degrees coolers than nearby inland valleys.

Outer Richmond; Russian and Armenian.
North Beach; Italian.

Big deal!

I'm an "ethnic white person" and could care less! I still prefer SF to NYC, and so do many of the people who have chosen to live there who are either from the Northeast, or from other parts of the US and certainly earn a high-enough income to make it work.

That's absolutely absurd.

That's the first time in my life I've ever heard such a dumb statement.

Another totally stupid statement.

Anyone can try to put basically anything on the ballot. I did not know a single person who supported that ban; everyone thought that it was absolutely dumb, and that's why it was stricken down and never got to a vote, because it was stupid, it did discriminate again Jews and Muslims as well as anyone else who chose to have their child circumsized... but again, it's all moot since it never got to the ballot anyways. Fox News and other idiotic conservative outlets seized on it and made it seem like it was a popular movement in San Francisco when it wasn't; everyone in town thought it was patently dumb.

It
Specifically, note the following:

Quote:
Abby Porth, associate director at the Jewish Community Relations Council, said she welcomes Thursday’s decision by Loretta M. Giorgi. She said her organization’s opposition was about combating negative attention on male circumcision and not so much over fear the ban might be approved by voters.
“Even if it made the ballot, we don’t believe it would have passed,” Porth said.
Your "outrage" at all this is absolutely stupid; by your rationale, you should really specifically hate New York because of this:

Swastikas, as well as the words “Die Jew,” had been painted on a garage in Midwood and on the stairs of a Jewish school, part of a recent spate of anti-Semitic crimes in Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey and on Long Island.

No, it's just unpleasant to hear your interpretation of what "the truth" is, and again, it's even more unpleasant to see you try to use Judaism and Jewish society to try to justify your beliefs.

Did you forget that homosexuals were subject to the same horrors that Jews were during the holocaust, for the exact same reasons that not only you are using, but were basically the same ones that the Nazis used?

I don't care about such a dumb movement and not a single gay person who's in my social circle has ever talked about supporting this movement. Wager to say, I probably know more gay people than you do...

Have you ever seen this quote?

Here, I edited it just for you:

Actually yes it is, why do think so many people are in the water on SoCal during summer? It's to cool off many times from being WARM, I didnt say hot. For someone who rarely went to the beach in SoCal I'm surprised how knowledgeable you think you are on this subject.

NOOOOO. In California the coastline can be 30-40 degrees coolers than nearby inland valleys.
"Can be" usually during a heat wave. The average difference in avg daily high between Downtown Sd and El Cajon, an inland suburb, is only around 10 degrees. NorCal tends to have more drastic differences due to the colder coastal weather. The NorCal coast is usually around 10 degrees colder on land and in the water than SoCal in summer on average and that is why it's beach scene is inferior IMO. I don't really get why you keep trying to act like they have the same weather and beach scene.

Socali coast is still about 10F warmer than the coast up in norcali. A lot of temperatures can be comfortable depending on what you wear. iF you want to wear traditional beach wear (swimming suits, nothing else) then norcali is definitely too cold.
