San Francisco Is Suffering From The Excesses Of Its Own Liberalism

Over the course of that first visit, I experienced the "Quintessential" San Francisco that characterizes most people's expectations of the city.

The public defecation problem has become so intolerable in San Francisco that private citizens have built an online map to track the concentrations of poop in the city, so that pedestrians may know to avoid certain areas.

The homeless epidemic in San Francisco is tragic and frightening - in a 47-square mile city, we have around 7,500 homeless people, meaning there are approximately 160 homeless people per square mile.

Within the first two months of living in San Francisco, I was a bystander in a drive-by shooting outside a restaurant where I was purchasing food - I was forced to hide in the kitchen of the restaurant after shots rang out.

I live in a reasonably decent section of San Francisco, and from what I gathered in speaking to many others, everyone has had his or her version of San Franciscan traumas.

San Francisco, one of the richest cities in the country and home to a booming center of intellectual capital, has suffered from the excesses of its own liberalism.

Some of the messages alluded to the astronomical cost of living, particularly in San Francisco.
