> In nearby San Francisco, only 0.1% of restaurant staff can find affordable housing in the city, with the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment at an insane $3,447.
Lack of affordable housing is doing the suffocation. America was built by a strong middle class, and SF is setting an example of what happens when people stop caring about the middle class and $70K/year becomes low income.
Marijuana is a soft drug like caffeine. For some people, caffeine is not a safe drug because they become addicted and have heart palpitations and lower quality of sleep. Marijuana is not safe in that it disrupts brain development in adolescents, exasperates psychosis with those who have mental health issues like schizophrenia, and lowers IQ with heavy daily usage. Moderation is key.
