You literally actively went out of your way to ignore information easily accessible within 15 seconds of a simple google search, directly from the CDC. It's actually kind of funny you devoted that much effort into making yourself feel right, while not even being able to negate what was said with any kind of substantial source.

  I love people like you. I truly do. This was so so easy to find, yet you somehow managed to accomplish not finding it. You then went through the effort of creating a post on HN pretending that this information didn't exist. Just to make some point because you got insufferably offended about data. https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/nchhstpatlas/maps.html https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/nchhstpatlas/maps.html >These seem like "those who live in glass houses should not throw bricks" positions to me. The level of disingenuous discourse allowed on this forum is silly.

    >>>This was so so easy to find, yet you somehow managed to accomplish not finding it. https://lmgtfy.com/?q=San+Francisco+sti+infection+rate https://lmgtfy.com/?q=San+Francisco+sti+infection+rate ^Two of my 3 links are from the first page of results. The CDC isn't amongst them. Your 15-second Google search must have been conducted with different terms than my 15-second Google search. That happens. So where's this condescension coming from? >>>You then went through the effort of creating a post on HN pretending that this information didn't exist. Show me exactly where I pretended any information "didn't exist". >>>Just to make some point because you got insufferably offended about data. Projection much? >>>The level of disingenuous discourse allowed on this forum is silly. The irony. You come into the thread accusing me of flat-out ignoring information (false), and when you do something constructive by sharing data (sincerely, thanks for the link)......the data you share only serves to reinforce my point in the first place: https://imgshare.io/image/P18Gq https://imgshare.io/image/P18Gq https://imgshare.io/image/P1Pw7 https://imgshare.io/image/P1Pw7 If you really wanna have some fun, put the tool in "Maps over Time" mode and look at the explosion of syphilis, especially in the South and on the West Coast. Chlamydia and gonorrhea pretty much paint the whole map blue. The OP implied that the SFBA was somehow a haven away from the drug and disease problems that were afflicting "less populated, non-coastal regions". Not only does that not seem to be the case, the data points to the OPPOSITE conclusion. Let's do a search using more positive terms: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=San+Francisco+national+low+STI+rates https://lmgtfy.com/?q=San+Francisco+national+low+STI+rates And look at the text provided from the very first result: "San Francisco County ranks 28th in the entire nation for rates of chlamydia by county in 2017". Note: the US has 3,007 counties, so SF is literally in the top 1% of the entire country for chlamydia. That's not "The 1%" you want to be associated with. At any rate, I'm pretty sure the crux of my original post still stands: To conclude "One should live in SF to escape the STDs and drugs in the non-coastal regions" is way off-base. Finally...we would all benefit if you took some time for some serious self-reflection.

    I didn't notice this comment sooner, but as you know from previous accounts, attacking others like you did in this thread is a bannable offense on HN. If you keep breaking the site guidelines this way, we're going to have to ban you again. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
