      Right there in the name: “City”. A dangerous place where you might be exposed to dreaded opposing viewpoints.

        my brother is scared to death of san francisco. he hates it, says there’s poop everywhere and he’s accosted by homeless people all the time. i dunno, i’ve been to his house and they leave dirty diapers on the floor and his children are children so they’re needy and don’t pay rent. which seems right. maybe he’s a little confused? also, i have encountered human poop exactly once in san francisco over decades of visiting at least monthly. i’m just grumpy that the deli i got my char siu pork at (Go Duck Yourself/Hing Lung) moved and i haven’t found a new one i like yet. also my brunch place went from five locations to one, and it’s not the location i liked in the Castro. At least my beef with the city is real.

      I miss Iowa City. It was such a diverse and wonderful island surrounded by by the monotony of white bread America. I’m scared to go back, because I fear it has been swallowed by the mediocrity of conservatism.
