'The city isn't like it used to be', long-time residents say about
San Francisco, neck and neck with New York for America's highest
cost of living, as newly arrived coders and designers share stories
about the stratospheric price of a place to sleep or a loaf of
sourdough bread. But this is exactly what San Francisco has always
been - an open mined and open-hearted city that changes with every
generation of newcomers. San Francisco is perhaps America's
greatest hotbed of invention. The birthplace of the blue jean,
television and the Twitter hashtag, the Beats and the Hippies, the
United Nations and the Pride Parade, San Francisco has been shaped
by waves of discovery and change, both in its geography and its
residents. Yet the essential San Francisco remains the same place
the Spanish missionaries founded back in 1776, a jewel of a city
constrained and protected by its peninsula. SAMPLE TEXT: In 1867,
San Francisco instituted America's first 'ugly law', which
prohibited unsightly people from showing their faces in public.
(It's since been repealed.)
