Hey guys, not to stir the fecal matter more, but I was born and raised in SF- and it's no place to raise a family. My friends next door, who moved in from North Carolina, saw advertisements for the Folsom Street Fair one day and figured it would be a great place to take their kids and have a fun family outing. Thats when they figured out why we call this place San Franfreakshow. But credit must be given where it is due... geographically, the Bay Area is one of the most beautiful places in the country. Unfortunately, the people living here can be some of the nastiest, most vile, self serving hypocrites that walk the face of the earth. Where else will you have your truck vandalized for having a "W '04" bumper sticker? Not once, but 6 times... the last time they also ran off with a $600 HF antenna for my ham radio. And not only is the traffic some of the worst in the nation, but the roads will destroy any 4x4 vehicle as well. Try driving down 880 in Oakland. I used to drive it every day when I was a boxlobber at FedEx.... needed new tires and shocks constantly. (thank God for warranties!) There's been a pot hole in front of my house for almost two years. We've gone through all the channels to get it patched... nothing's happened. This weekend the people on my block are all pithcing in $20 a piece, and we're getting it patched ourselves. And what about Proposition H, here in SF? The "No San Franciscan can own a handgun, but people from other cities can" proposition that these nutty people passed. Yeah, let's disarm the citizens and see what happens to crime. Can I hear "Field day" for the criminals from Oakland?

Eh, ok enough of my dumb ranting. What do I know? I've only lived here for 24 years and watched this place go from a world class city to a pit of ignorance and hatred. People think the high cost of living is worth it? Okay, well more power to them. Me, personally, I'm not raising my kids in this vile place. There's a reason why there are more dog owners than parents in SF.

Ok, flame away!
