This whole area (the bay) has some serious problems, IMO.  Compared to
Portland, Oregon, where I previously lived, it seems like kind of a
dump.  Rampant corruption in politics, where money and influence reign
over what is right (which is hard to figure out even without all the
dirty games), the public transportation sucks...  Coming from the
northwest, I'm also slightly disturbed by the way people deal with
money.  Sure there are plenty of wealthy people up there, but few seem
to flaunt it as is done here, with enormous houses, limos, very
expensive restaurants, bars, clubs...

Well, I'm off to Italy soon, with its own set of problems, but I'm
looking forward to riding my bike again, being able to walk places,
and eating well:-)
