Can you believe it’s come to this?

A Colorado heating and air conditioning company is now refusing to provide service to businesses in downtown Denver, Colorado, citing dangerous conditions in the area.

I visited San Francisco in 2014 and did one of those hop-on hop-off bus tours.  Even back then, and on a tourist-oriented bus tour, I saw lots of vagrancy.  Mission District, Golden Gate Park and Fisherman's Wharf seemed to be the worst.  Aggressive panhandlers, lots of tent communities.  I can only guess how bad it might be now.

That’s a shame. San Francisco in the 80s and 90s was a clean beautiful city. My wife and I had to make a visit to the Philippine consulate in the city in ‘92 and while we waited for her documents to get processed we went on a walk about. The sidewalks were clean and uncluttered. The only unsocial thing we saw was a vagrant looking guy stealing a bunch of Preparation H from a store we were in. There’s either a black market for that stuff or dude was hurting (insert San Francisco pun here). Did I just pun the pun? *high five*
