The obvious similarity is architectural. Both cities have a lot of neogothic buildings. However, now being in San Francisco for a few days, I realised what at least one other similarity must have been: the displays of abject poverty and the obvious disparity between rich and poor. Just off the center of town, here, in the area called The Tenderloin, so many people sleep on the streets, so many people beg, practically on the doorsteps of hotels charging hundreds of dollars...]]> Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:00:00 -0600 http://www.babakfakhamzadeh.com/index.asp?cat=12&item=1153 Revolution bookstore, where I had an interesting chat with David ("Daveed") on the future of communism and the benefits (or not) of a communist revolution, though his and his colleague's fascination for Stalin where a bit unhealthy.
