#1 That is what happens when all behavior is considered equal.

#2 Decivilization isn't much of a tourist attraction.

#3 It's really too bad about San Francisco. The city is blessed in many, many ways. It has natural beauty, the bay, the beaches, the architecture, the many accomplishments of its citizens and, yes, even the fog. But the current political atmosphere and degradation make it so I never want to go there again. It's encouraging that someone in a position of influence at least recognizes the problem but I fear that won't be enough.

#4 When Mrs. Warthog and I were working there in the early 2000's, we routinely came across the homeless and other flotsam in the streets. Doing what we all know they do..it was bad then but seemingly confined to back streets. Now Union Square, the Rodeo Drive of SF, has them in spades.

Welcome to your Sanctuary City. Back then Banana Republic was just a store, not a way of life.

#5 Cleaning up the mess will be seen as an infringement on free expression of the homeless. Nothing meaningful will be done.

#6 I went there 15 years ago and found San Francisco is "Bridgeport, CT with seals." Not even Providence, mind you, as their food can't compare.

Today it's even drearier. You won't leave your heart in SF, but you can leave a dookie in the middle of road.
