San Francisco is becoming the childless city

Same thing happened to most African Americans and Mexicans who lived in the SF. They got priced out. The blacks moved to Oakland and the Mexicans are diminished, but trying to hang on in SF.

SF is mostly a white/Chinese city.

 

Friend, you're a rich white guy who lives in a white/Chinese city. Does your daughter attend public school? Which one? Lowell? Mission? Or does your daughter attend private school?

 

What is this fascination with "breeders" ?

 

San Francisco is like Caracas, i.e., rich and poor. Not much in between.

 

The Gay Far Left has had it in for "The Breeders" for years in San Franpsycho

 

San Francisco is an awesome city.

 

LOL , I would beg to differ ...

 

guess the housing bubble has not burst there yet...

 

Latin Americans/Mexican's still holding on- but the reality of it is that the poor and middle class families have been priced out of San Francisco for more and more for the last 20 years.

Its all about economics. Which is why- even as liberal as I am- think the 'affordable housing' efforts are really not going to make much of a difference. The developement of Mission Bay and Treasure Island will be the only chance to increase housing stock in any significant way but I don't think it will drive down prices any.

Because here is the thing....for all of the SF haters posting here....thousands and thousands more people want to live in San Francisco than there is room for here. I am tempted by the suburbs at times...but then I end up barbequing down at the bay with the GG bridge to my left, the Bay in front of me and the downtown skyline off to my right on a beautiful sunny warm day in March and go...."I like it right here".

 

It's a world class city. Cuisine, sports, nightlife, ocean, mild weather. I'd never live there, though. In the city limits, that is. I live in Chicago right now and I can't wait to get out. Cities are best for visiting, in my opinion.

 

Albert, we had this same discussion maybe a year ago. I am not rich by any measure except family and love, but I would consider myself upper middle class by some standards.

My daughter does indeed attend public school, but I am not going to mention which one- again we had this discussion before. She is happy and getting great grades.

 

Prop H8te will be vindicated ...

 

You really don't have a clue do you?

Being gay with kids is the 'in' thing nowadays. And all those gay dads want to hang out with us 'breeders' and watch our kids play in the playgrounds together.

Silly homophobes....

 

Ha!

The sad part is based off the violent rhetoric you so often post and the namesake from which you take your moniker, I am confident you are very capable of such a thing.

 

The Mexicans are barely hanging on. Gang violence is increasing in SF. My older boy lives in SF. It's a great place for a well educated, high skilled, and bucks up young person or couple. If one doesn't fit that bill SF is a pretty grim place where other's wealth is thrown in the face of the poor on a daily basis.

SF is a bubble. California is going down the tubes. We'll see if SF has a separate destiny.

I hope your daughter is going to Lowell with all the brilliant Chinese kids. If not, it's too bad. Generally, public schools are a crap shoot as far as education for the kids is concerned. In that respect SF is like the rest of California.

My great hope is that the Hetch Hetchy Dam gets taken down so that the people of SF are forced to drink water that has been purified after passing through SF's sewage system. Serves San Franciscans right.

 

Oh absolutely. I'll get in my motorized wheel chair and chase you down like a dog. I'll tie you up and drag you to Santa Cruz. There's an entire new reality waiting for you under the bed of a crippled old man.

Do you have a dog? If so I'll bring the dog back too. It can keep you company in the trunk under my bed.

 

San Francisco has always been expensive.

I live across the bay and watch the evening news. The legislation that has been passed over the last 20 years is to blame.

 

Do you know why gay men are usually the first ones to escape from a natural disaster?

It's because they always have their shxt packed.

 

And I don't expect people to continue to pay the confiscatory rates to visit over the long haul either. SF has had a good history of repeat tourism, but once people start paying the prices I've been seeing lately, they'll do a "one-and-done" and not visit as often.

I avoid it like the plague. It's hard to find parking, always cold and there are only two things I ever go there for. Drop and pick-up wife when she flies to Singapore on business or catch a Giants game at their wonderful park. The former at least garners easy, reasonable parking prices or a quick drop-off and scoot. The latter, I park in Oakland at Jack London Square and take the ferry directly to the ballpark.

 

San Fran is great if you like rampant homelessness, weirdos and freaks...
Aside from the view, it's a bastion for liberal psychosis and very expensive to boot.

 

A tired, sad, angry old crippled man raging at the world from behind his computer screen.... Pathetic.

 

You have no idea. I have strangled so much false hope and unearned pride over the years. I have killed so many ideas. I've lost track of the hopes and dreams I've murdered. Some say I've also murdered the English language.

So little time, so many false assumptions to slay. I really don't know where to begin. That's life when you're a cereal killer.

 

No, the Mexicans moved to San Jose. I actually like that city. More spread out and less claustrophobic.

 

I changed it to reflect my opinion.

 

What's sad is that all the insights, comprehension, understanding, awareness and consciousness will be lost soon...like tears in the rain.

I was in SF the day Harvey Milk and George Moscone were murdered. I remember the dismay and anger. That moment will be lost.
