Top 10 Things to Hate About San Francisco

Hipsters and Hippies are not the same. Hippies were hip in the sixties. Some of them are still Hippies now, but they aren't hipsters anymore.

It's not just hipsters. There are many young and immature people who rely on their charisma to get jobs they aren't qualified for. Then, in their positions of power, they select other people who lack any real skills, which keeps society from reaching greatness.

I miss the days when men were men...

I understand why they are there for a reason - some have been living on the streets for so long. San Francisco becomes a dirty place when there's a lot of poop on the sidewalks. They could be left abandoned, and others forget about them.

This is probably the main reason why such a beautiful city like San Francisco becomes a horrible place to live. People getting high on our sidewalks, pooping, peeing, and having sex on the streets shouldn't be normal. Plus, they get to do all this using our tax money - great!

See point 4 regarding Critical Mass. The sensationalist approach to getting your point across just causes people to take you less seriously than they already do, and it only garners the respect of people who are as much, if not more, insane than you.

If you want to get something done regarding policy, then do something meaningful, or run for office. If enough people are insane enough to fund your campaign and vote for you, then you can do all the things you advocate.

But then you wouldn't have anything to complain about, so no, I guess that wouldn't work.

This is only a partial hate. Sometimes I love them. But nowhere does it say that consistency on the part of the writer is a prerequisite for a top ten.

What used to be cheap districts (the Haight-Ashbury district, for instance) are now for rich people only. They raise the rent to ensure that only their kind of people come to live there. The big problem is that they're beginning to do it in all the "what used to be low-rent" districts of San Francisco now. It's like they want to kick out all the working-class people (who have just enough to survive every month with their pay) from San Francisco.

Yes, and the ones who are kicked out of their homes because they can't afford it anymore are now the homeless people of San Francisco.

I am now $300,000 in debt because of this ridiculous school that is using federal money to own half the city. Not worth it.

So you've been to school for a year or two, and you think you've seen it all...

The most expensive barista prep education ever.

Okay, Lance Armstrong, your wardrobe has made all of us acutely aware of the fact that you're a super hardcore biker. We got it - you are the MAN!

Now can you just wear regular clothes? We don't need to see your huge package/cameltoe through your spandex shorts. And given that you're riding a train most of the way, you're probably biking about two miles each way, max.

AHHHHHHHHH!

Bikers, listen.

You will never get rid of cars. Your ideal of a car-free world is just that - an ideal held by a bunch of overeducated, uber-liberals whose heads are so far up their rectums that they can't see through their own BS. Good luck biking 200 miles to your next service trip with the Sierra Club (of which I'm a member, by the way).

Even so, given that your goal is a lofty ideal that will never happen, the way to pursue it isn't by taking over every street in San Francisco for two hours. Traffic laws exist for a reason, and your cause will in no way be advanced by blatantly breaking every one of them. All it will do is either piss people off or provide them mild amusement as they watch you riding by super slowly in a congested cluster.

If you want to pursue unrealistically lofty ideals, then petition your local government official (or run for office)!

Thanks.

It's a city with a harbor (meaning close to the sea). What do you expect? A light breeze?

It really is freezing there most of the time. Global warming has no effect there.

There are car burglaries everywhere! You can see broken glass from car break-ins on every street in San Francisco.

What about the Golden Gate Bridge?
Oh, and also Alcatraz, Pier 39, and the Transamerica Pyramid. Did I miss anything?

The big one that will destroy California has yet to come. It's just a matter of time.

Urine and old cabbage. Interestingly, those are the two things you can find down pretty much any alleyway in the city.

I don't agree with this one. A city that nobody comes to visit? No tourists? Tourism is very important for every big city (okay, San Francisco is not that big) because it brings money to the city, creates jobs, opens new shops, etc.

Tourists have ruined riding cable cars.
