Reacclimation
2015 August 25
I’ve been back in the Bay Area for just over a week now, and there’s definitely been a readjustment period.
Two quick examples:
- Last week, I was walking around the Mission district at night and didn’t really feel comfortable. There was a homeless woman digging through the trash, street vendors selling dirty dogs, and lots of people.
- This past weekend, I saw a homeless guy pull down his pants on the sidewalk and squat, very likely to poop. I didn’t stay to confirm.
There’s certainly a homeless community in Madison as well, but nothing like this.
Stanley, you’re not in Wisconsin anymore.
After living in the Midwest for the past three and half years, I knew there was going to be change. But I didn’t expect it to hit me right in the face, loud and clear.
Also, the bars are packed and the drinks are expensive…
The diversity’s nice though.
