San Francisco: shithole in focus

More sad news out of San Francisco. And the vid pushes back against "Give them homes."

Sad. As I read your post about the hike, I couldn't help but compare the Korean environment to what is happening in the USA. Can you even imagine trying to do an overnight hike in San Francisco? A trip and a fall would be the least of your worries. Even with its third-world infrastructure and poverty, the Philippines is so much nicer than what life has become in my homeland. I certainly feel infinitely safer here. I often think of the difference between a squatter village full of friendly locals and a crime-ridden slum in Chicago. I'm sure the rampant drug use is part of the problem, but there has been a huge cultural shift in the American way of thinking too.

Sad.

I feel perfectly safe walking at night anywhere in Korea. I'd never try the same thing in the US unless I was out in the boonies. Even there, though, you've got the inbred weirdos.
