Gold-Dense-City

"No other American city has undergone such an earth-shaking cultural shift in such a short span. Today San Francisco is seen as the 'Left Coast City' - the wild, frontier outpost of the American Dream... San Francisco values did not come into the world with flowers in their hair; they were born howling, in blood and strife... One of San Francisco's more flowery laureates anointed it 'the cool gray city of love.' But the people who cling to its hills and hollows and know its mercurial temperament - the sudden juggernaut of sea fog and wind that can shroud the sun and chill the soul - recognize San Francisco as a rougher beast."- David Talbot, Season of the Witch
