Europeans and North Americans look to San Francisco as the destination for the ultimate fun and play city.... with its stunning topography of over 47 hills, spectacular views of a bay unrivaled in its physical beauty.
Conde Nast Travel Magazine has consistently rated San Francisco as the # 1 tourist destination, year after year.
Never mind the aggressive street bums wallowing in street corners, slimy hands out, trolling for quarters, many of them drug addicts, drunks, or downright mental cases (There are some 10,000 street bums called "homeless" in San Francisco)....... tourists can't enjoy and get enough of San Francisco's street ambience. And true, what they can't do back home.... they try to experiment and expand in the "liberal" "free for all" atmosphere that San Francisco is notoriously known for. Never mind the "rip-off" hotel prices; never mind parking meters in the city's streets which charges the equivalent of almost half-a-day of wages in a 3rd world country, for eight (8) minutes of parking, i.e. US $ 0.25 dollar for 8 minutes of damn parking.
Never mind that San Francisco, a city less in size and less in number of inhabitants (800,000 inhabitants) compared to San San Jose ( 1,000,000 inhabitants), the city in Silicon Valley, carries four times the city budget of San Jose, at US$ 6 billion, and growing exponentially because of a "fat heavy" City Hall, saddled by political appointees, by fleecers, featherbedders under arcane labor union work rules, and lazy civil servants pretending to do public service.
If San Francisco is a microcosm of what is considered "hip" or "cutting-edge" or "innovative" in America, look no further than the increasingly utterly banal and vulgar manners of its urban gentry, many of them young, hip, affluent, and yes, absolutely self-centered, hyper-selfish, and consumed by a hedonistic lifestyle obsessed with fun and games, booze, smoke, dope, and sexual freedoms. Leave it to the immigrant minorities, the ethnics consisting of brown and yellow people to do all the grunt work. By latest count, 95% of the food service workers who bus the tables, clean the dishes, serve the diners in San Francisco's restaurants and fast-food joints are immigrants, mostly Latino or Asian. White San Franciscans no longer work these jobs, except as Starbuck's baristas. These folks play more than work; urban chic, urban slackers, and urban hedonism, with abandon, with booze, dope and chemical dependency rampant.
Given these, how can these people compete with CHINDIA, or China, Inc. or Japan Inc. or Vietnam Inc. ? The world of globalization has passed this city by the Bay by and left it in the dust.
By latest count, there are more than two dozen legit medicinal marijuana clinics dispensing marijuana, in the name of "medicinal" purposes. Masked as "legal cannabis clinics," these are city-validated retail businesses selling marijuana to any consumer who pays US$ 50 to a doctor who will issue a certification that the "patient" needs a "bong" to relieve pain.
Folks, this is the city which became North America's only Olympics torch relay stop, which boasted that its citizens successfully waylaid the torch and stopped it from running its six-mile course in this city by the bay.
To boot, this is the city where there are 200,000 ethnic Chinese inhabitants, with a history of settlement spanning over a hundred fifty years since the discovery of gold in 1849. A city that the Chinese aptly called, "Gold Mountain," i.e. Gum San.
And the white folks look upon the Chinamen as "invisible" and looked upon their welcome of the Olympics torch on April 9, as the machination of that foreign government called China, and its San Francisco consulate, purportedly "busing" in by the busloads and orchestrating a "Chinese invasion" of San Francisco !
Talk about historical amnesia. Consider the latest in San Francisco perversity, its annual ritual called a marathon in the streets of San Francisco, called the "Bay to Breakers" marathon.
It was held last Saturday, May 17th, 2008. Read about the "vulgar" "hooliganistic," downright "perverse" behavior of these San Franciscans, and the audacity they showed in utter uncivil and rude behavior in the name of civil liberties and "anything goes."
This is a city where its China-basing "Team Tibet-Shangri-la" street protesters don't even know where TIBET is located in a map. Click on:

"Where's Tibet on the map, dummy"?

Welcome to San Francisco. The American city which is viewed by Europeans, westerners, and white Americans as "hip," "meditarranean," and "cutting edge.
Good grief, China's cities may be congested, polluted, and gripped by traffic gridlock. But the Chinese peoples know their problems; they have 'fessed up to it; and they are headed in the right direction to fix the problems, hopefully sooner rather than later.
But America's cities, like San Francisco ? With perversity, banality, vulgarity galore ? And drugs, dope, alcohol, and predatory behavior rampant ?
China and the Chinese people cannot and must not be CNN. And yes, China's youth must not behave and ape San Franciscos' youths --- peeing and defacating in the streets, getting drunk, drugged, and on dope.
These walking monsters, when they grow up, and start having families, will breed more "walking monsters," i.e. selfish, vulgar, lacking in basic manners and fundamental civility.
Isn't the Europeanised view of "human rights" and civil liberties fantastic ?
You can peeing and defecate with abandon in the name of democracy and freedom ! And somebody else will clean up after you.
Welcome to San Francisco. Welcome to the city which knows how ....... to lecture others about being "green," yet are hypocrites when it comes to polluting, defoliating, and messing up their physically beautiful city.
Talk about the epidemic of "affluenza" which has dragged America down. From empire to predatory vampire. In a little more of a century of hegemony, supremacy, and lording it over other nations in this earth.
