SF is a marvelous place with complex history. Faux and other RW outlets focus on darkness and fail to see the light. I love how the video echoes the words of the tenderloin resident "light, light, light...." As my Cousin Patrick said: "I am "a citizen of no mean city," although it is in ashes. Almighty God has fixed this as the location of a great city. The past is gone, and there is no use lamenting or moaning over it. Let us look to the future and without regard to creed or place of birth, work together in harmony for the upbuilding of a greater San Francisco.[53]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_William_Riordan#APA_and_Father_Yorke
