I'm not particularly politically active.  I'd be living in Portland due to the tech nature of my business if I go there. I've lived all over the world, but grew up in Chicago and Miami, so I've seen all climates. I'm mostly into running, working, and not having to fucking drive. IMO, San Francisco is full of backwards hicks, btw.  The culture here consists of people sniffing their own farts and calling it art.  The arts scene is so full of new wave bullshit I can't stomach it.
