Readers may be asking, "Why is FuelMix bashing San Francisco...?"


1.  FuelMix And San Francisco 15 Years Ago

1.  Over 15 years ago, we saw it coming......the Perfect Storm of massive wealth inequality, unaffordable housing, homelessness, rigid Political Correctness that stifled free and accurate speech or decisive action - and more importantly stifled law enforcement - chronic budget deficits, high taxes, an entrenched Left Wing (actually what we termed, "Liberal-Fascist") city government, a detoriorating downtown core where the rot would ripple outwards, vandalism, drug use, crime, startling unsanitation and climbing disease rates.


2.  How The Whites Reacted

1.  Over 15 years ago, we raised our observations with (allegedly educated and professional) West Coast whites that something was brewing in San Francisco which would badly tarnish the city's reputation within the US and internationally and what did we get...?  

"OMG FuelMix..!! you're so fuckin' homophobic, racist and anti-white...!!...There's nothing wrong with being a Liberal and pursuing policies of tolerance, harm reduction and a compassionate society.  Diversity and tolerance are part of our heritage and lifestyle......Get with it man...!! Stop being so fuckin' dictatorial and demanding social and financial discipline. If you don't like the place, you should leave...!"

 3.  FuelMix Refused To Go Back To San Francisco

1.  We refused to visit San Francisco after that.  Other than a major construction boom (courtesy of the massive wealth inequality to which we alluded above), we haven't missed much - aside from the now painfully obvious shit and drug infested 4th World Ghetto that large chunks of the city have turned into.

2.  The briefly-famous San Francisco Shit Map (which won a hackathon and, according to its creator, was intended to draw attention to homelessness) has allegedly not been updated since 2015.  It was used as political ammunition by Right Wing conservatives to highlight the falling urban standards.

3.  However, it appears that a new SF Shit Map is required in the light of more recent comments below.


4.  What Pilots Say About San Francisco  

1.  Here's what Cathay Pacific pilots who fly HKG - SFO plus Hong Kong Airlines pilots who started the HKG - SFO route in March 2018, told us over the last few weeks:

• "Looks like a preview of a Mad Max film..."
• "I'm 6 foot 2 and built - and I don't feel safe..."
• "The good news is that the shit won't be hitting the fan....most of it is on the sidewalks.."
• "The drug needles and syringes on the streets are overwhelming..."
• "Gotta keep looking behind me when I walk around downtown..."
• "My girlfriend refused to go out alone..." 
• "We stay in the hotel in the evenings....less hassle.."
• "Fuck....that stink of shit and piss.....it's everywhere.....these guys are pissing on the outside walls and plate glass windows of street-level restaurants and nobody says or does a thing..." 
• "Just fuckin' creepy...it's absolutely surreal..."

5.  Zero Hedge And Reddit On San Francisco 2018

1.  Here's the latest article by Zero Hedge:

San Francisco - a Democratic stronghold known for cable cars, quaint architecture and its diverse culture, has become a bastion of squalor and crime as city dwellers and visitors alike dodge aggressive, drug-addled vagrants. And it's beginning to scare the tourists...

-----"Terrified" San Francisco Tourists Shocked by Aggressive Vagrants, Discarded Needles, Dead Bodies, ZeroHedge 17 June 2018

2.  Here's another quote from the above article:

"You see things on the streets that are just not humane," Kevin Carroll, executive director of the Hotel Council of San Francisco told The Chronicle'....... in April. "People come into hotels saying, 'What is going on out there?' They're just shocked. ... People say, 'I love your city, I love your restaurants, but I'll never come back.'"

 3.  The article then went on to quote some users on Reddit:

It's pretty normal. I'm honestly hoping tourists will realize how shitty this city has become and stop coming. Maybe the loss of income will finally push the city to stop allowing the rampant drug dealing and homeless people treating the entire city like their toilet. You would think a city that depends so heavily on tourism and conventions for the bulk of their income would put more effort into maintaining a certain standard, but there is rampant drug dealing out in the open in some of the most heavily tourist areas. The city know about it, they just don't care. 

4.  Then it quoted a separate Reddit thread:

"Why is this city so terrifying (Canadian here)
I've wanted to visit SF my entire life and I finally make it here and my goddddd it's terrifying.  Anyone have any advice for a tourist aside from 'don't be such a pussy'

5.  Here's some more from the same article:

"The streets are filthy. There's trash everywhere. It's disgusting," [said]Joe D'Alessandro, president of S.F. Travel in April. "I've never seen any other city like this — the homelessness, dirty streets, drug use on the streets, smash-and-grabs."

The city, which hands out up to 4.8 million syringes each year, has struggled to figure out how to keep streets clean and safe for residents, while accommodating a growing homeless population and longstanding HIV and Hepatitis C epidemics. There are roughly 16,000 residents in San Francisco with HIV, and 13,000 with Hep C.

6.  It was estimated by the City Health Director that in 2016, San Francisco had 22,000 intravenous drug users and that the city hands out 400,000 needles every month. Multiply that by 12 and that's where the figure of 4.8 million syringes quoted above, comes from.

7.  In other words, as the San Francisco Gate reported on 13 June 2018, most of the needles littering the streets..........came from the Department of Public Health's Needle Exchange Program. Whilst it's called an Exchange program, there are no real rules for their return (apparently there are 13 syringe access and disposal sites).

8.  Just let all those stats sink in for a minute.....Then watch this video (approx 6 minutes):

6.  FuelMix Says

1.  Yes fags, this post really is about FuelMix saying, "I told you so".  We're not gloating at the abject human misery, the rising anger of the people who live there or the shock sustained by tourists.

2.  We're gloating because all those years ago, we walked around with our eyes wide open and had the courage to call it like we saw it -  past the shrieks of denial and accusations of homophobia and racism.  We lost acquaintances because of what we saw and predicted.

3.  Did we see San Francisco's future then...?  Probably.  But anyone else could have seen it, had they opened their eyes and their minds and shut down the babble of Political Correctness.
