Stuff I Think You Should Know

Heterophobic, anti-family city low in children

This is quite the funny. It seems that SanFran's kiddies have all run off, and nobody can figure out why!

Some tidbits:

It is no mystery why U.S. cities are losing children. The promise of safer streets, better schools and more space has drawn young families away from cities for as long as America has had suburbs.

Yes, but...

But kids are even more scarce in San Francisco than in expensive New York (24 percent) or in retirement havens such as Palm Beach, Fla., (19 percent), according to census estimates.

Hmm. Why? Why, indeed?

San Francisco's large gay population - estimated at 20 percent by the city Public Health Department - is thought to be one factor...

Now you're using your Thinking Cap™! Unfortunately, the people in charge of the city... don't.

Determined to change things, Mayor Gavin Newsom has put the kid crisis near the top of his agenda, appointing a 27-member policy council to develop plans for keeping families in the city.

Creating a bureaucracy to figure out the obvious. You're a true socialist, Mr. Newsom.

"It goes to the heart and soul of what I think a city is about -- it's about generations, it's about renewal and it's about aspirations," said Newsom, 37. "To me, that's what children represent and that's what families represent and we just can't sit back idly and let it go away."

Yeah, 'cuz we all know you care so much about the American family. Sure, buddy.

"We are at a crossroads here," said N'Tanya Lee, executive director of the nonprofit Coleman Advocates for Children and Youth. "We are moving toward a place where we could have an infrastructure of children's services and no children."

Well... let's all think of ways for SanFran to be kid-friendly again. Hmm... gosh... that's a toughie. I s'pose you could start by not overturning basic American rights- that tends to scare people away. Maybe you could stop pandering to the most insanely liberal people in the country- they generally aren't very family-friendly. But there's this one major thing... how can I put this... Here we go. "Don't be gay, Sparky. Don't be gay."

S'quite simple indeed. Um, gay people don't reproduce.

Glad I could help.
