Why Can't the Poor be Like Us?

LOL!

One can make a pile out of the proverbial bootstraps and burn them for the good they can do.

So you're saying that any reasonable person would just stand still and do nothing because they "lack qualification or education"? Well, in that case, I'm glad this particular mom doesn't approach life with your excuse -making as her guiding force:

San Francisco's issues are primarily self-inflicted.

The city has a choice to make. Either it will be a picturesque tourist destination, or it will be a tech hub that will draw more folks to live there while also giving folks a place to live. The current regulatory environment supports the former. The citizens will need to decide if it wants to be the latter. Given the folks who are able to afford to move into the city, I suspect there will be resistance to changing the regulatory environment that helps keep the city picturesque.

An exception makes the rule?

You are confusing between SF and SF Bay Area which is what I referred to.
SF (The City) happens to be just one city (and county) in the vast Bay area.

Indeed. Richmond or Pleasanton ain't quite Nob Hill.

Then why are you responding?

And yes, you implied it but if you want to squirm and look foolish, be my guest.
So tell me, can Trump pardon himself as he has claimed today?

You should know by now that Whell is a know-nothing, who talks trash just because. It’s obvious he knows absolutely nothing about the Bay Area, but what do you expect from someone who defends living in a shithole like Detroit?

Actually, whell won that round which Rajoo tacitly acknowledged with his deflecting closing question.

Hey, at least we've got plenty of affordable housing available.
