Come on now! Let's not go overboard and Bloomberg-ize San Francisco. Try to imagine what San Francisco would be like today with 3 mayoral terms of the likes of Bloomberg!!! Angel Island would have become the Riker's Island to stash all the homeless? NYC has become nothing more than an antiseptic San Diego of the East Coast! Good grief! They even sterilized Harlem!
I was just up in SF last week, staying in a more colorful, interesting part of SF, Larkin/Geary at the Motel 6. No need for a TV in my room, I was entertained enough watching the foot traffic from the 3rd floor balcony overlooking Larkin!
Leaving SF, I decided to stop at the 16th/Mission Bart stop, just to take a peek at that slice of SF! OMG! It was like walking into Tijuana! Loved it, loved it, loved it!
Could hardly drag myself away from that 2-story Thrift Town thrift store, particularly the used book section!
I say, let's leave the seedier areas of SF intact, keep SF a widely diverse city and not take the NYC route!
I pray the new mayor of NYC brings some much-needed seediness back to that city!
