San Francisco is, according to AARP, the best big city for older Americans (over 50, I think) even though its score is only 66 over 100. It scored high 84/100 in the health category (not much smoking but access to exercise opportunities and enough health care professionals) and it got 75/100 for transportation, which includes household transportation costs, frequency of local transit, walkability scores, and ADA-accessible transit stations and vehicles.

This past Tuesday, March 4th, when Trump was addressing Congress (and getting applause when he said that Biden didn't need Congress to secure the border-- "The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation, but it turned out that all we really needed was a new president.") there was an action called “Light for our Democracy” as San Francisco’s part of a nationwide organizing effort to honor our democracy and stand up for its best and highest values. (Hey, Congress, why are you applauding Trump's taking over your branch of the government?) It was a peaceful and unified event and space "to affirm our belief in racial, social, economic and environmental justice and taking care of each other."
Among the people I saw there were Art Persyko (one of the organizers), Kathe Burick, who led a chant and a body movement, Georges Woyames, Jim Mckinney, Rodger Kent Scott, Susan Solomon, Libby, and Timotha Doane! Here are many more photos:
