Trumps new low,trashing American cities and the people living in them , hey trump you are the president instead of villifying these American cities why not work on fixing the problems?
It was too expensive then, now it's literally approached insanity.
A lot more homeless people, a lot more needles in the street. I didn't see any poop but the last time I went was 10 years ago. It's gotten worse and worse.
There are still amazing parts of SF, but the wealth disparity there is bad. Like I said, the rich are all tucked away in Pacific Palisades or other tony areas.
The rest is the rest. Like most of coastal Ca, a circle jerk if you're not filthy rich.
My great aunt and uncle paid $5,000 for a little row house out in the Sunset district in San Francisco in 1938. Their youngest son (who was born almost 10 years after they bought it) sold it very quickly last year (80 years later) for, IIRC, about $1.3-$1.4M. A flipper bought it, remodeled it...going all the way down to the studs and making the partially finished downstairs a finished part of the house...and sold it very quickly (getting multiple offers) for, IIRC, just under $2M.
I will admit it is a very wealthy city for the time being due to large amounts of venture capital and equity flooding the city because of the artificially low interest rates. So I guess credit should be given for many of the companies that are best snack-oil salesman companies in the history of the world.
However, amazing how San Francisco ignores the homeless crisis, ignores the many people dying from heroin addictions and looks the other way and could care less about vulnerable people who are disabled.
There has never been and never will be a city that ignores it's social problems like Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco.
However, San Francisco is a good guide to what Democrats want: A percent of the population equity billionaires from being great salesman, politicians and city workers who make a massive fortune with huge pensions and a massive, exploited, massive underclass trying to do all they can to avoid sleeping on the cold, cloudy, raw streets of San Francisco in a city that ignores vulnerable seniors and disabled.
I've been there MANY times from the 1970s up to two years ago. If you have been there, you cannot truthfully say that the city has not gone downhill.
Unlike you, Hawkeye - my fellow conservative -- I've never been to SF and will never set foot there. I may cross the California border someday but that would only be to do some exploring of their national parks. And it will feel like crossing into another country.
The so called 'Happy Meal Ban' did happen in 2010. Some feel San Francisco 'got the idea' from Santa Clara County (where San Jose is located). Santa Clara County enacted a 'Happy Meal Ban' during the first half of 2010, and San Francisco followed later in 2010. Rather than banning any food, they sought to (and did) ban the free giveaway of the little gifts with the meals. McDonalds and Burger King got around that by charging ten cents for the little gifts that were previously included at no additional cost.
Yep.... You can shoot up heroin on the streets, live in a tent on our streets, break into cars with immunity, poop on our sidewalks but.....
You better not eat a Happy Meal since the Fries have to many Calories and it comes with a free toy.
So which big city will be next on Trump's hit list? Any city in the country run by a Democrat, and their citizens who won't be voting for HIM.
Libs can't face the truth. Perhaps they should focus their attention on solving real domestic problems, rather than wasting all their time bashing Trump.

And trying to implement OPEN BORDERS to get more Illegal poor people here to vote for Democrats.
