This is what socialism gets you.

/thread.

It does? There's hardly any homeless in the socialist European cities I've been to. They were a lot smaller than SF though

Yeah, you haven't been to many, then.

You should check out Paris, and any other major European capital. Gypsies are everywhere, and the state of poverty is far more striking than what you tend to see in the US.

Have you ever been to Denver? Go there then try to complain about San Fran.

No, never been there. Bad there as well?

#1 destination for homeless in the country.

Serious? :confused:

Come here and drop your coin in our slot machines or roulette wheel slots, when you're out of coin we'll dump you over the state line! :disgust:

'scuse me, but SF is not socialist. It's very capitalist. If you ain't got the dough, it's not so nice place to be.
