The city doesn't seem so dirty from a distance. We hiked up to the peak of one of the foothills and stared out across the Bay Area today. I'm not sure why they even bother dividing the whole mess up into different cities. There are no actual boundaries. No inbetween places. It's all kind of melted together like wax from a candle left burning too long. The hills are not safe either. The rich people flee from the mess below because they have the money to do so. They use this money to build mansions in the hills, ruining the view in much the same way dead insects smeared across a windshield obstruct one's view of the road. Or like grubby little handprints all over a tv screen. You get the idea. Kick the rich out of the hills. Wildflowers are nicer to look at.
