Wealthy Residents raise $60,000 to prevent homeless shelter beign built in san francisco

It occurs to me that people always seem to think that sexual broad-mindedness goes along with love and tolerance.

That's why there is so much of a debate over whether the sin of Sodom was primarily sexual, or about inhospitality, etc. But why do we assume that the two are not linked?

I think that San Francisco's culture of sexual permissiveness and its desire to keep out the poor perhaps go right together with one another. (Genesis 19:5, Ezekiel 16:49).

Let's also remember that California is the land of the NIMBY, with environmental and other laws often used as cudgels to keep "undesirables" from ruining the best neighborhoods.

I can't answer to the former. As far as the latter goes... I can't say that being a Californian makes me an expert on my state, but, in my experience, you're right. There is a lot of NIMBY going on and has been for decades. I don't know how much compared to other parts of the country.

I doubt it. At least its overall influence within the pool. You'll get a cluster of people for sure, but considering the commercial investment along with the fact that rich people are gonna rich people for a laundry list of personal reasons aside from promiscuity or w/ever.

People distancing themselves from the sin would be more localized to the area, otherwise they wouldn't obstruct a homeless shelter just in favor of letting them sleep in random places.
