In case I didn’t make myself absolutely clear, 7 miles squared can easily become 7 squared miles or vice a versa.

Trying to complain about other people’s mistakes by making stuff up about what they were thinking, however, is nothing people should adopt as a solution to error.

People looking for bs often have a field day in the comments, since that’s where you find a lot of it.

7 times 7 is 49 Fred.

What you seem to be incapable of understanding is what people mean when they are thinking, probably because you are not concerned with what other people think because the only thing that matters to you is what you are thinking.

7 miles is not one mile, either.

Absolutely right, Fred. I grew up there and knew that. I was thinking of the approx. 7 mile borders on each side. I’ll correct my mistake immediately. Still having made that error, I don’t think it changes my fundamental point, which is that San Francisco is making itself increasingly unlivable for its much put-upon residents.

I am disappointed to see people start out reviews etc. with errors such as your statement that San Francisco’s territory is seven square miles. It is, or is closer to, 49 square miles. You seem to think it is one-mile wide or long, and 7 miles long or wide, when it is not the case.

When you start out writing Krap, it suggests the rest of your article is Krap too!, and puts readers unnecessarily on HIGH ALERT for the presence of BS.

Better luck next time.

This is what happens when the government goons are given too much power because it was convenient to in the beginning to do so.

Some local authorities in England fine residents £60 (about $120) if they fail to close the lid on their trash bin properly before it’s taken away by the refuse men. Putting slightly too much rubbish out for collection can be very costly.

Health and Safety legislation is cited as the justification for this insolent penalty, but everyone knows that it’s just another dodge for raising revenue.
