   All things considered, if you exclude governments it's a pretty good   
   place.  The air is nowhere as thick and poisonous as it used to be, honest.

   The best things in San Francisco are the Exploratorium and the Sutro   
   ruins, if you can still walk around in them.  I don't think they let   
   tourists drive down Lombard Street, but in took my leg a couple of days   
   to recover from the trip down in the 1968 Dodge Tradesman van.  The rest   
   of it is tourist crap and homeless junkies.  And Muir Woods, of course.
