The press is like a dog with a bone and they are enjoying this one to the max. What sells it is the contrast between the city's extreme wealth and natural beauty, at least one or the other and often both enjoyed by so many, and the isolated areas of poverty which are part of its "image". They exist because we allow them to since we pride ourselves on "tolerance" and "permissiveness" to an extreme few other places do. We could crack down like other cities might--and personally I wish we would--but it wouldn't be "San Franciscan. So the press will keep sending reporters to our fair city to enjoy themselves--I bet they line up to report this story--and film a sidewalk t*rd.
