It is a more common problem in certain cities, I'm not denying that but that doesn't mean it's rare in other places. I didn't know it was that much higher there though, that does make those top cities outliers.

My brother was given a wreckx-n-effect tape for his 6th birthday by a family friend and I attribute this as a key event in the radicalization of me and my siblings, rap brings the truth to the people

I can't think of any other community that encourages critique as much as this one. Outsiders make comments like yours relatively often and people here usually try to discuss the subject instead of just downvoting or insulting like a proper echo chamber would.

The regulars are tired of the same shtick though so they might be rude to commenters like yourself, but there is a wide range of people here and even when I am disagreeing I don't see hostility like basically everywhere else online.

Wtf are YOU talking about?? What are you basing that on? I have lived in multiple cities where many people leave their car window down so it doesn't get broken. Even suburbs!

I am baffled by this exchange right now haha. Is there some kind of study that has shown no city has smash and grab crime like SF? It's common nearly everywhere in the US. Are you trying to say SF is a crime-ridden hellhole like no other?

The first point about leaving your car open, people do that everywhere, car break-ins are prevelant across the country.

There are very high housing prices but also high wages, though yes it's worse than a lot of the country as far as inequality. The bay area is more than San Francisco though, have you spent much time in the area? If there were more autonomous Waymo cars in cities this wouldn't be the only time it's happened.

That's what was surprising to me, maybe wiser people already left his fanbase, but it was interesting to see the comments be all "there's no way to defend this and look reasonable" yet they still are in support of him

I never know around here, I figured though I was mostly just confirming my own understanding haha

I wasn't being totally serious, it's true the bay area is significantly more racially diverse than the US as a whole, but the issues and political atmosphere in the area isn't so far removed from the general population.

Idk if this whole section is for real but I'm pretty sure it just depends on how the sink is constructed and the coriolis effect isn't enough to do anything to drains

I have driven across the US multiple times, in what way is it not? The bay area is a lot more than San Francisco

Often the RVs in places like OP is referring to are dilapidated and don't run, with tarps on them, not connected to water or power. Essentially a small shanty house in a slum so I guess it depends on your definition

They can buy whatever they want haha I didn't say I care, I was just saying the article title could be accurate, people spend money without knowing much about the purchase all the time.
