“Hard City.” Say it ain’t so when talking about my San Francisco

“SAN FRANCISCO’S SUCH A HARD CITY TO LIVE IN. PEOPLE CYCLE THROUGH EVERY TWO YEARS.”

Talking about my City.

Standing on my front porch in a quiet part of town this evening I heard someone proclaim loudly as he walked by.

Perhaps we’ve been here too long and we fail to realize it.

Does this make us survivors?
