11/12 What is America's shittiest city or metropolitan area? vote now!
Bay Area in General: .......
\_ ugly girls, lack of girls, overpriced housing, pay sucks relative
to cost of living, gas expensive, car maintenance expensive,
Chinese restaurants inferior to Los Angeles
\_ Lack of girls? Someone needs to get out of the 3rd floor of soda.
\_ They're there, but they are ugly. On the plus side, they are
less picky than the princesses in LA.
\_ Yup, and they give it up a lot more often.
Berkeley, CA: ...
\_ you guys haven't seen shit then.
\_ Let's see, 4 years in Berkeley and I have had:
bank robbery: 1
break in: 1 (stolen VCR, etc.)
thefts: 4 (2 bikes plus 2 bike wheels, 1 leather jacket)
car jack at gun point: 1 (ok, not me but my friend)
con job: 1 (got conned for $50, ok, I was a dumb freshie
then. did catch the con man trying to con
another student several weeks later, and told
him to fuck off.)
\_ brother of my friend got hit with a fucking iron pipe on
the head from behind, while he was walking home from Soda
along that dark little diagonal passageway with bushes all
around. Managed to come to later, and crawl to the
hospital. Yay Berkeley!
\_ I've lived in Berkeley all my 23 years and the only crime I
was a 'victim' of was living with a screaming crazy person
for 3 months. Are you guys just really unlucky?
\_ more likely just really naive easy targets
\_ If walking along dark little paths after dark is
indicative, then I'd have to say 'Yes'.
\_ My friend was offered a pile of human feces on wax paper.
\_ I don't think stealing my stories works with cable modem.
\_ lock both bike wheels to the bike/post, don't leave leather
jackets unattended in the library/cafe
\_ what was the con?
\_ first summer, broken into and tied up in bed with electric
cords from alarm. Chased down in my own complex's court yard
by Police who broke the fence into a secured apartment
complex and chased me into my own apartment for standing
outside in my own courtyard.
Anywhere in Utah: .
Cleveland, OH: .
Detroit, MI: .
Houston, TX: .
Oakland, CA: ..
Washington, DC:
San Francisco: ..
\_ What are you crazy? Oh right, motd people only like bland suburbs
with spacious parking and plenty of franchise restaurants.
\_ Are you wearing enough flair?
\_ I work and socialize there. It's a dump. It was semi decent
about 15 years ago but is shit today. So yeah, SF gets a vote.
Why do you assume I prefer bland? I prefer not stepping around
homeless people shitting on the side walks or seeing the
aftermath of my friend getting a gun put in his face after they
pistol whipped him and stole the few things he had on him. So,
yeah, did I remember the "fuck you!" part of this? I think I
didn't. Here comes! Fuck you!
\_ How about Compton? Surely SF can't be worse than Compton?
Even if you think they are both dangerous or have too
many homeless people/social problems, at least SF also has
many good points, good restaurants, culture, public
transportation, etc.
\_ I added my city. Go add compton if you want. I've never
been there.
\_ Hey, how about fuck YOU? All urban areas have problems. Go
to the suburbs if you don't want to see them. San Francisco
has lots of nice neighborhoods and tons of incredible culture
and residents. If you just hang out in SOMA with the rest of
the clubbers, and downtown with the rest of the office drones,
yeah, you'll think its a dump. Get a life, Mr. Bridge and
Tunnel, and try some of the other parts of the city. You might
even learn something. Fucker.
\_ I've lived in several big cities, and I think San Francisco
is below average. I like the Bay Area, but not San
Francisco. - yet another poster
\_ I love surface judgements. When I used to live in
Oakland, people would talk mad shit about how horrible
it was, and yet most of them had never done more than
drive through it once or twice and maybe had lunch
downtown or been to a party or three. They just listened
to other people's preconceived notions or whatever bs
the chronicle published. Once you got to know it, it
was a really interesting place with lots of buried
little secrets. And best of all, there weren't any
morons around because they were too busy listening to
people's stupid attitudes about the place. Yeah, its
got big issues, but so does any place that isn't a bland
suburban nightmare. I can also say that though I lived
in a supposedly "bad," working class neighborhood of
Oakland for four years, the ONLY place I was ever a
victim of crime was in Berkeley. As for San Francisco,
once again, most of the places that "visitors" flock to
are for sucktards. I live in Hayes Valley now, just
north of the Lower Haight, and I wouldn't want to live
anywhere else.

\_ the idiotic housing shortage isn't caused by overcrowding,
dumbass. I'd say something about what the problem is, but
your genius governor would make me do 400 situps.
\_ Talk about missing the point.
