That's a very good article. My experience with San Franscisco was in the 80s and 90s. It truly is a beautiful city. Although I'm not wired to live in such a place, I always enjoyed its eclectic oddness. While my ethos wasn't exactly aligned with what the city represented, I never detected a moral disconnect. Right and wrong was still clearly defined on a pragmatic scale and it showed in the city's cleanliness and order. Sadly, extreme progressivism has taken that away and turned it into a self-consuming pit where even basic human decency has been sacrificed on the altar of ideological rot. I sincerely hope it can recover to the once grand city it was.
