tourism is way down in old Frisco. Bums begging on every corner. You can't walk down Market St without being hit up for money every 100ft. After dark they line-up in alley ways, and set up there tents before they hit you again the next day.... This city has a program that pays over $400 a month to these bums. They go to the civic center district and collect there money. Call it a social security program for bums no age requirement. This is a sanctuary city for illegals as well. Mexican illegals stand on corners and wave at you to see if you have a place for them to stay and work........Sure SF is a great place to avoid........ Reply
