Whoa nellie!

Let me make it clear - I have nothing against Hawaii or its residents. In fact I love Maui and would probably be living there were it not for the fact that I would not be able to see my beloved Giants and 49ers games in person (well, among other reasons .

I - like many other non-resident - just think the discounts suck. I have my reasons and you have yours (most of which we can admit boil down to self-interest). I don't think we need to get into a discussion of constitutional intent (though I'd be happy to do that if I had more time). We can simply agree to disagree.

As for SF discounts - sorry, but that dog don't hunt (and there is no hunting within the county of SF). Anybody can buy an entertainment book. Anybody can make reservations during the annual dineabouttown promotion in January. Anybody can buy rooms on priceline. There are no special discounts here despite the fact that our cost of living is higher than Hawaii if you plan to own your home. We don't complain about it - we know we're living in the best city in the country.

P.S. I agree with you about the hunting and fishing licenses.
