> Political climate, for one thing. (recent anti-LGBT sentiment, anti-refugee/migrant sentiment, anti-EU sentiment and general right/nationalist movement uptick) Did you post this to start a flamewar, because you love campaigning against your own country, or just to spread misinformation? This comment should be flagged.

  So, you judge/don't go to a whole country because of what its politicians say? The USA's president has been saying a lot of questionable things, but I don't see anyone fleeing SF..?

      You're right, you just see terrorist attacks, school shootings, and in SF in particular rampant crime with homeless people taking shits in the streets everywhere. I'm just amazed at how much misinformation and exaggeration one can decide to spread.
