The beautiful City by the Bay.
Yeah.
By many measures, San Francisco is a world-class city. It’s a tourist mecca that boasts 25 million visitors each year. It’s home to wonders of the modern world – the Golden Gate Bridge and its iconic cable cars – as well as powerful progressive politicians, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Governor Gavin Newsom, and U.S. Senator (and presidential hopeful) Kamala Harris.
The broader San Francisco Bay Area can also claim Silicon Valley and its booming economy.
But the city itself is in trouble. Today, San Francisco hosts an estimated homeless population of 7,500 people. Affluent sections of the city have become dangerous with open-air drug use, tens of thousands of discarded needles, and, sadly, human feces.
Since 2011, there have been at least 118,352 reported instances of human fecal matter on city streets.
I was stationed at the Presidio twice and generally found the city to be beautiful and filled with interesting places. So it saddens me to see how badly it has fallen under the guiding hands of the Hippies who have grown up to be its leaders. Perhaps they’re so busy continuing their love fests to see the problem they’ve caused?
