Why are there so many goddamn CRAZIES in San Francisco?
 

Seriously...I can barely walk home without someone begging for change or saying some crazily random and incoherent shit to me.

And I'm constantly having to check over my shoulder for crazies walking up on me. Even the initially normal-seeming people trick you and turn out to be completely bat-shit nuts.

I've visited a handful of big cities, but SF has the highest ratio of crazies to normal people that I've ever seen.

WTF?

Move out of the TL

maybe they are all normal and you are the crazy one!

LOL :1orglaugh

Well, I guess I am a little nutty, but these people take it to a whole 'nother level :1orglaugh

Because it is a city of liberals. Get used to it.

because it is accepted

Boneprone tried to get one into the cab with us and Penthouse Pet of the Year... i was like wtf are you doing man?!?

I don't think I live in the TL...or maybe I do. I thought I was just downtown or Hayes area. Who the hell knows. I just know it's too many nutcases for my tastes.

San Francisco population is very liberal and more tolerant of different people, such as the homeless, than most other places.

And geography makes it worse - it's well popularized in movies, that to get a fresh start, go out west ... well, many do just that, but eventually they hit the Pacific ocean and thus they tend to bunch up in the cities along there.

And then to add insult to injury, many social agencies across the country do "Greyhound treatment" ... that is to say, they give homeless people with mental / physical problems, who can't be easily helped, a one-way ticket to cities like San Francisco - out of sight is out of mind.

And lastly, homeless people are like Pigeons - feed them, and they not only stay, but tend to attract more... people / government who give money to beggers without verification / restrictions makes the problem even worse.

maybe you should try oakland and see what you have to say about it.

Its only going to get worse as the economy gets worse....

go to London, go out on the weekend, go back home - you'll kiss and hug everyone you meet in San Francisco

UK = the highest number of nuts / per square meter, word!

I like their street fairs.. Just like the ones when you were a kid.. except now with more blowjobs, nudity, and sado-masochism! haha

Omg, that's horrible! :helpme

most gay people there, not sure why anyone would want to live there

And those beggars are pretty aggressive too.
Once I gave this man a quarter and he threw it back at me because he wanted a dollar :)

People begging for money insult me on a daily basis because I never give someone begging for change money. Fuck 'em.

Gay people are not the problem. Crackheads, heroin addicts, and people who shit on the street are.

Was sitting in the car at a stop light in SF once, when this homeless/crazy looking fucker comes stumbling across eating some yogurt or some shit outta a little cup with this fingers. This real nice, pretty looking girl is walking the other way and the dude just takes a big dip of the shit and flings it in her face. She went bat shit started screaming at him, I SERIOUSLY considered running him over with my car. Can't we drown these fuckers? Will anyone miss them?

i love SF i always have a good time there. but yeah you have to be pretty open minded to fit in around there. i don't seem to have a problem with it.

They are all around the world.

The summer of love quickly gave eay to the Summer of Hate... history states that the summer of love, really didnt last long.

the Death of the Hippie mock trial was help Oct 1967, that was the start of it all...

it definitely left its impact on the region though...

Ilan is not crazy...he is Israeli
lol

I couldn't resist.
I guess I don't miss Stevenson Street as much as I thought I would.
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I went into San Fran a few weeks ago. I was there for a about three hours, took BART in. I didn't a single person begging me for money. I saw a number of homeless people eating in Burger King, but that was it.

Hahahaha...I meant the crazy people yelling at me outside the office :1orglaugh

KB, you know exactly what I mean about the Stevenson street crazies! I went in for a few hours on Sunday and they were just as nutty as ever. I guess crazy doesn't take a day off. :winkwink:

damn u better get a pistola

beggers in some places are even worse. the moment u give one of them some money the whole group of 5-15 kids follow u around till u give up.

Yea the last time I was on Stevenson t talking to Branny a bum walked up to me and asked me for my shorts while I was smoking a cigarette.

"Shorts"? I replied
"I don't have any shorts"

The Homeless man says " No the rest of your cigarette"

I said " But you don't know where my mouth has been..."

He looks at me and takes my stump out of my hands.

I guess he couldn't care less...I mean dude sleeps in the gutter.
Many times I would leave that office only to feel like I was trapped inside the Michael Jackson video for THRILLER....
