Baltimore Cleaner than DC

  Well I did see a whole lot more people sleeping on the streets of San Francisco than I do on the streets of DC.

Probably because it doesn't snow here.  The weather is nice year round making it attractive to the homeless.  Our Mayor has a new program that is trying to help the homeless situation here and in it's first year the results have been fairly positive.  I his good work continues because the homeless situation here is in dire need of attention.
 
 That hotel you stayed at is right in the heart of the tenderloin.  Not a comfortable place to be for any long period of time.  I would suggest next time you visit priceline or hotwire a hotel in the Union Square East neighborhood and you'll be able to get nice hotels at reduced rates.

That's because all of the poor uneducated minorities were driven out of San Francisco by ridiculous housing costs, to Oakland and beyond.

 As far as being a bunch of degenerates, you really should venture out of Golden Gate Park and The Haight.  San Francisco just passed Stamford, CT and is behind only Boulder, CO as being one of the most educated cities in America.  Nearly 48% of our residents have a bachelors degree and almost 20% have a post doc degree.  I know having an education doesn't necessarily mean we're all using it, but if you've got a better indicator I'd be willing to listen.

Absolutely.  I never said DC or even the DC area was full of degenerates.  As a matter of fact my census data (2002) is likely part of those DC statistics.

It's a good thing that's not happening in DC, LA, NY, Chicago, or any other big city in America.

Jealousy, best I can figure. The women are jealous of my wife's beauty, the men jealous that I have a beautiful wife.
 
 One guy in SF walked up to me and asked "How you get a girl like that?" My wife replied "Because he's a nice guy." I told her she should have said, "Because he's white."

Plus, my wife is not one to back down from people giving her shit, and has a low tolerance level for what she considers someone (including me) giving her shit.

Two friends in the SF area:
 
 1.  1200 sq foot condo near Japantown.  $710,000.
 2.  Looking at places in Marin.  1350 sq ft.  $1,100,000.
 
 Nothing comes close to that here that I see.

Congrats to Charm City!!
 
 The metropolitan areas with the highest rates of heroin/morphine-related ME deaths in 1999 were Baltimore, Portland, Salt Lake City, and Boston.
