California, as some of the Democratic primary candidates bragged last year, is the progressive model of the future: a once-innovative rich state that is now a civilization in near ruins. The nation should watch us this election year and learn of its possible future.

    In what other First World city do people have to check their shoes for human feces and needles before entering a hotel?

    I love your sneering at those you consider below you though. Keep up the compassion and empathy!

    Ah, Chip don't take it so personally it is your choice of article that is such an easy target.

    Which other First World city would that be?

    You're not engaging with ideas or presenting arguments. You're just throwing personal attacks, something expressly forbidden on this site.

    OH, Chip look at what everyone on this comment thread has said to you. Go outside and smell the roses and stop believing everything you read that fits you feelings and biases. Go experience the shit of SF on your feet before you tell me what is on the streets of SF. Take a selfy of the shit on your shoes and post it for all of saidit as proof you have experienced San Fransisco's dirty human problem.

    Can't. Guess you haven't heard that we can't travel.

    I suppose I'll have to take the word of scientific evidence.

    Blaming California for global warming? Well that's a hot take.

    Also is he sure he visited San Francisco? "Don't park on the street because windows will be smashed"? Lol, more like you'll never find an empty parking spot on the street!

    I get the feeling this guy rarely leaves his mom's basement.

    He lives in central California and often visits San Francisco. Do you have any arguments that are not personal attacks?

    [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    Yeah, that stuff about San Fran is straight BS, for one, and for two, global warming isn't California's fault, and it's just absurd to try to blame them for it. This whole thing makes no sense and is really just liberal-hate porn.

    You haven't cited any evidence or made any arguments. You just assert with no proof.

    San Francisco has a problem with human shit on the streets. Where else has problems like that? Third World shithole cities.

    [–]Klondike 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    No it doesn't. San Francisco is a beautiful city. I will surely visit again when Covid is over.

    You're the one making an outrageous claim, so it's on you to provide evidence and proof.
