San Fran

Portland has become the same. Homeless shit and garbage everywhere.

Fortunately, I live in the close-in burbs. Not quite as infested.

Let me explain to you how gentrification works...

The moneyed bourgeois class uses street people and the homeless to drive out lower middle class and working class families. They are particularly difficult to uproot because the don't have the capital for movement. The bums can then be loaded up on a big long line of police buses and driven out beyond the city limits, literally overnight.

Voilà. No bums. No junkies. No methadone clinics. No spaghetti-stained-undershirt-wearing blue collar schlubs.

I have vacationed in SF a few times with my family. The last time was ‘12. It was already slipping badly then. What a shame. It really was a beautiful place.

Have not been to Portland since December 2017. Had to catch a flight to Vegas. On the way back from that trip managed to see a bunch of bums by the freeway, one guy staggering around with a needle hanging out of his arm.

A buddy is a Sgt in the local police department. He got TriMet to give them a bunch of free transit passes and if he jacks up some bums on some minor shit, he gives them a free ticket and tells them to get on the bus and get the fuck out of town in lieu of arrest or citation. Temporary measure though as the other departments are doing the same thing and just sending them back. At least moves them out for a week or so.

This just doesn’t sound accurate to me as I remember being promised by some liberals that everyone in Seattle was to be ~~earning~~ making a living wage.

I laughed.

The "average" price of a home in San Francisco is close to 2 million dollars.

The World economy has spoken... and they like San Francisco more than any other city on the planet.

It's what we call "Monday Morning"... then you have the rest of the day in 70 degree weather with no humidity.

The weather is also nice here in Athens.

And it's a shithole littered with bums, too.

Seattle has always been a pretty aggressive city. I haven't been in several years (I generally only go for work or ball games). But over the last 5 years or so, Portland has really upped it's homeless filth game. The last couple of mayors have pretty much given amnesty to homeless crime. In the city proper, if it isn't nailed down, it's theirs. Some parts of town have become downright unsafe.

I haven't been into town since... Wednesday (and I was well-paid to do so). You get snippets, but not the full experience from the freeway (although I did see a bum giving another bum a BJ on the side of the freeway a few years ago... it was... distasteful). But godrive around Inner SE if you want the full experience (don't "walk" around Inner SE, unless you're looking to justify your CHL fees). But the city subsidizes homelessness, and when you subsidize something, you get more of it.

Sad commentary on our times. I was in Seatlle a few times when I worked out that way for the USFS at age 20. Felt safe even at night cruising the bars on old Pike Street looking for a piece of ass. Mrs.O and I were in SF in 1994 and it wasn't too bad. Chinatown was clean and safe.

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Sun Oct 07, 2018 12:05 am

SF is a great place to visit if you know where to go and what to avoid. Sadly it’s not the same city it was when I left the Peninsula in 1973.

Derron · Post by **Derron** » Sun Oct 07, 2018 4:08 am

I was last in SF probably about 1997 or so working the National Golf Show at the convention center. The office booked us in a decent enough hotel about a block off the main area, and the street was narrow and filled with with bums, garbage and human shit. We usually walked to the convention center in a group of 4 or so. Pretty much killed the night life thing though.

Combine that with the corrupt mobsters running the logistics at the convention center who shook us down for a crossing fee ( in and out, cocksuckers) of .50 a pound on our equipment and we had to have union "spotters" escort us and the equipment into the floor and they cost us $ 25 a " walk", even after we had paid our space fees well ahead of time. The town is a shit hole and I will never go there for any reason again.

If you can't afford to live in San Francisco... you really don't have much to comment on.

Just to make sure of content... the original poster of this thread... has NEVER been west of the Mississippi River.

Sudden Sam... has always been right up there with people with down syndrome.

I do enjoy that she posts, so we can bang on her.

San Francisco and the Bay Area... have around 10 major league sports that are played year round... while she has one.

Good times

I have a friend that I went to High School with who moved out there. She is a certified ASL interpreter who should be able to support herself in any city.

After 7 years in San Francisco dealing with the absurdities and dysfunctions of San Francisco, she's seriously considering another locale.

This is a person who fell in love with the city of San Francisco who can't stand living there anymore.

M2, that you actually consider the Bay Area a good place to live aptly demonstrates how willfully ignorant you are of how good it could be if that place had Gov. Abbot or some other right minded Texan running the show there. But please, continue with your narrative of how wonderfully funky SF is...

Yikes Mikey, me too. I lived in Millbrae until 1973.

I worked for a tech service company and travelled through out the bay area, from San Jose to most of Marin County, servicing everything from electron microscopes to TV film cameras and video tape recorders to metal inspection machines in slaughter houses. Then I dumped that for a job at KRON TV and stayed there for a while. The commute into the city sucked ass even then and parking was damn expensive.

We visited the area in 2010 or so and it was unrecognizable to me. What used to be high end and clean is now not quite a slum but going there fast. The bart station there is a homeless collection shelter. Can't even find a decent place to eat.

Good times.

Damn, Roach, you must be REALLY old.

I grew up in Palo Alto, first in the flatlands near Middlefield Road and E Charleston. My parents built a house in the hills off Page Mill Road, SW of hwy 280 when I was 13. That house was on almost an acre and cost about $60,000. It sold in the mid 80s for around $400,000 and is worth almost $5 million now, according to Zillow. Sort of wish they had kept that in the family...

My mom and grandfather were both from San Diego and we used to come down here for summer vacations at the beach. When I graduated from HS in 1973 I moved to San Diego for college because I liked the weather and the water temperature, saying I'd be back in the Bay Area some day. Never moved back though.

I still have a few friends up there but rarely visit. The last reunion I went to was in 1978. About half my HS class was Stanford faculty brats, so there was lots of competition academically. Kind of frustrating when you're in class with kids of the university president and Nobel prize winners.

It was good times though. Lots of good music and cheap dirt weed.

BTW...I was on KRON once when I was a little kid. On the Mayor Art Show.

I will defer to your local knowledge. I just happened to be in Fresno recently and it seemed to fit the vision.

It’s official. SF is now the “doo-doo capital of the country.” Not exactly the title Conde Naste is likely to promote.

It's comedy gold... when "porky" keeps bumping the thread.

He forgets that nobody gives a shit about people that live in trailer parks in Bacon, Georgia.

Yet, the whole world cares about San Francisco, or they wouldn't be writing about it.

We've all heard Smackie's phone interview with "Porky".

It made clear why everyone fucked "Russ's girlfriend" except Russ on that troll stop.

Being FAT in person has its draw backs.

You'll probably have to live in Sacramento or rural Georgia to find prostitutes that will agree to fuck you.

Whatever happened to that FAT fuck with the "credit cards" ? Is Russ still working at the DMV where his mom got him a job?
