San Francisco is a tourist trap, designed to milk as much money from its
tourists as possible. It has been this way for 150 years. This is
nothing new. And yes, we're rude. I have very little use for tourists
who don't care to study a community enough to learn where the bargains
are. As far as I'm concerned, the tourists who aren't resourceful can
spend $200 a night.
HOWEVER, having said that, the person who decides to think in creative
ways can get some incredible bargains here in everything from housing to
food to clothing.
My point in the post was to encourage people who ARE resourceful not to
give up. Bargains *can* be found here.
