we also are such a bubble that there’s a huge battle for the rights of… coyotes. Most pet owners know that coyotes will attack and eat dogs, cats, and other animals plus they’ll attack people. That said, coyotes have enough rights in San Francisco that many parks have warnings about coyotes. Maybe it’s standard in USA cities. Thankfully I lack pets because even leashed dogs and their owners are getting threatened by coyote families (unless they’re gangs or packs).

Funny (ok, not so funny) how many of my circle of people (both close and extended) vote to the left on the state/national matters, and "who is the least bat**** crazy" for the local matters.
yet everyone running for mayor indeed wants to live in a good SF. He grew up in a gigantic mansion on Broadway near where Larry Ellison eventually moved after his oracle success. While Larry was building oracle with his 2 co-founders, Lurie was already living extremely well as a child. When I say mansion, I’m not just referring to a big house in sf but also having a single dead-end street (Broderick north of Broadway) serve as his family’s driveway. There are a handful of city blocks that function as a driveway for one house. There’s nothing wrong with being extremely wealthy - I simply am not voting for him to be mayor.
