I LOVE San Francisco.

[UdoKier]

I love that there is a great transit system here.
I love the weather.
I love the views.
I love that there is a Japanese-English bilingual public school for my son to attend.
I love that there is a Japanese-English bilingual subsidized day care for my other son.

And I love that in the principal's office of my son's school, on the cork-board, there is a photo of Bush with the eyes scratched out and a Hitler mustache colored on.

I love that at a junior high school I visited, there were posters made by the kids all over the place urging tolerance for people of very ethnicity and gender identity. And in one classroom, there was a bumper sticker on the wall "Defend America, Defeat Bush".

I love that I can talk left-wing politics and have people not only not disagree with me, but they also are aware of the info I bring up, so I don't have to bring them up to speed on something as fundamental as the definition of "black box voting", and I don't have to explain to them WHY it's wrong for the US to detain US citizens indefinitely without charges.

I think that's the must annoying thing about other parts of the country. It's not the right-wing thinking, it's the utter ignorance and absolute reliance on TV to provide news (which of course it does not do).

1. I was thinking this morning how much I love New York City

because every morning you see hundreds of kids and parents on their way to school wearing "No Bush" buttons. :loveya:

[hiphopnation]

2. everyone does

even, I suspect, Jeb Bush.

Hence the song...

3. love SF!

never been more proud to not only call myself a californian but that I am a resident of San Francisco!

It may be pricey as hell, but after that last election, I think it just might be worth it!

8. I also love SF, but

our inter-county transit sucks. We should take a page from NYC and incorporate SF, SM, southern Marin and Western CC counties into a new multi-county city.

And while I'm dreaming, can I dream for 18 faithless electors?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. i think nyc transit system is much better

[Book Lover]

11. Yes it is

And I'm not just saying that as an NYC native... the subways go everywhere, even effing Rockaway! The buses and trains run 24/7. Is there still the bulk discount for MetroCards?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. yup unlimited metrocard for $70

[Book Lover]

14. Sigh...

I can't wait for my next trip back home. Sometime in the spring, I think...
