San Francisco doesn't like to hear it, but it's a very conservative city.


I think most residents of SF and the Bay Area would agree with that. It's NIMBY-madness here.

Most people outside the Bay probably would be surprised, but here? Nah, it's "well.. yeah, duh."


But what kind of conservative? Obviously not socially conservative. Do you mean fiscally conservative?


I mean opposed to change.



The downvotes are pretty hilarious. I guess many people don't realize that "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" is not an internally consistent political stance.


I suppose if you feel like your downvotes are for sophisticated reasons, it saves you from having to confront the possibility that your post isn't very interesting.


Either that or many people realize how stupid that tweet was and downvoted it so nobody else wastes their time on drivel drawing equalities between unrelated things.
