Back in the 80's during the aids epidemic, conservatives used to complain about SF for being "gay" and "Sodom and Gomorrah" but then started getting called out for being homophobic in the 90's, so they had to come up with new ways to express their disdain for the city.

San Francisco is a beautiful city and I enjoy visiting. There are parts of it that are an absolute nightmare, but that's also true of any major city.

Box everyone who criticizes livability and safety issues of SF with 80’s era southern baptists? Nice one bro.

I didn't box everyone. I said conservatives. Fox News loves to bash San Francisco. I have to live around conservatives who are always bashing San Francisco. I think the source of it is homophobia. That's my opinion. I understand yours. Yes, I agree, it would be wrong to call everyone who has a criticsim of something in SF as homophobic.

[anonygler]

Conservatives are allowed to criticize things and they’re not automatically driven by some sort of *phobia.

[okareaman]

Absolutely. I am big supporter of Liz Cheney and have given her money. I like her brand of conservatism.

San Francisco got a very, very bad reputation starting in the 70s - O’Farrel brothers, Jim Jones, the Symbionese Liberation Army, etc.
