I was born in SF, grew up in Daly City, the low cost suburb on its South side where there was no majority race in my high school (Whites were about 40%) and went to college and lived in Berkeley for four years. After voting in Berkeley where "street people" were given free roam way back in the 1970s... I vowed to NEVER buy a home or live in Berkeley, San Francisco or Palo Alto if I had a choice.

I almost bought a home in Palo Alto, there are enough Libertarians there to keep it somewhat sane, but I'm much happier living in Los Altos, a few houses and a creek from Palo Alto. The trouble here is liberals, backed by builders who want all that "affordable housing" money, are trying to drive the moderates out of local politics.

I'm pretty happy here otherwise.

What is AMAZING is how Trump doesn't talk about Harris's father who taught Marxist economics at Stanford and was honored as emeritus professorship. She has mentioned the kids avoided her when she visited her father but my guess is most parents at the time feared Papa was a communist and didn't want to be associated with communists... if there was any avoidance. I know from personal experience that most of us kids at the time loved having many "black friends" as it proved we were not racists, loved the music, and were cool hence my belief it was the commie ties.

Sadly, I think race relations now are worse than when I was in high school and a lot of it is resentment by new immigrants from Asia over the special treatment some minorities get who didn't take advantage of it and are still demanding more.
