One has to be the top and the other the bottom. Otherwise, what's the point?

When my wife was in grad school at USF, she lived a couple blocks from the tenderloin up closer to Nob Hill (pine and Hyde street intersection). Technically a nice neighborhood, still saw poo poo going down. I did find $200 on the sidewalk in the tenderloin once...paid for my gas round trip from Eugene to visit her, so that was cool. To answer the question as to why San Fran gets two teams, it's because they literally think they are the best city in the US, if not the world. I met a friend of my dads there, and she was talking about how the city water was the best city water in the country. It tasted like water. She had never left the city other than two occasions in her life. Had never seen a farm or field...thought Oregon was in another time zone. It's easy to think you are the poo poo if you have not experienced anything else life has to offer. Just like when a couple only has one child and spoils them to the point of the child thinking that the entire universe revolves around them. The Bay Area is so into themselves that they did not even like songs that referred to other cities. The LMFAO song about Miami? Yeah, I was visiting yet again, and it heard an edited version of that song where they say "drink all day, play all night, let's get it poppin ( I'm in the bay bitch)" instead of "I'm in Miami bitch". Of course they deserve multiple of everything, including football and baseball..they deserve it, obviously. Juando290 fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Nov 29, 2014 |

It's also a area that can't seem to understand how people can enjoy living in other parts of the country. Why would people want to live places which have better medical care, lower cost of living, lower taxes, just as good educational institutions and better mass transit?

Somehow CA has high taxes and broken poorly funded education system due things like prop 13. Plus one of the worst S&P credit ratings for state level debt. In all fairness though it's not like people have dreams about moving out to the Midwest/rust belt to make it big or just find a job.

San Francisco used to be really awesome. It isn't any more. The fact that is still seems awesome to people goes to show just how awesome it used to be. It sucks now in comparison.
