People tend to only try to rob you when you're flashing expensive stuff you mostly don't need anyhow.

To impress your hypocritical asshole-pseudo-friends with. Living in the same ignorant delusion of consumerism as you do in this case.

E.g: Nobody ever even spent a second look on my rust bucket others call "car". Even though it is a very reliable and fine machine.

Agreed the basic ideals of not flaunting shit goes a long way towards not being a victim. I've had plenty of people try to tell me off traveling in Mexico or other poor crim ridden countries, and while I'm under no impression that they are safe, generally so long as you aren't an idiot and don't go around broadcasting the fact that people should rob you you'll get though alright.

Then I'm not the type of person to consider a stolen passport to be a vacation ruiner either. A massive annoyance bit you can get another one issued easily enough if you just go to the embassy and give a police report.

I believe the real problem of SF is that even a hobo can afford a .22 but no healthcare when he is addicted to something, exemplarily theorizing.

If we're going to dole out free anything free admittance to mental hospitals and drug detox would be preferable to free smart phones and gym membership. I've no issues with homeless people getting free shit so long as it's going to help get them off the streets out of homelessness and benefit society as a whole.
