What's practically unbelievable is that San Francisco still had one Republican (on the board of transit) as late as 2014. Apparently, to defeat him, his opponent used the brilliant strategy of reminding everyone that he was Republican. This article bragging about it is kind of funny. A trained monkey could win in San Francisco if they won the Democratic primary.

I just saw a sign by the road here about a local election for sheriff that pointed out the sheriff was a democrat... not sure what that has to do with being a sheriff. Pretty dumb. Aside from what I typed above. Given the current political environment and the fact that the party is being led by Donald Trump I feel like anyone who hasn't left (or because of their opposition to party leadership been forced out of) the GOP is not someone I would vote for.

There isn't a Democratic primary for any election in San Francisco except the presidency. San Francisco is definitely aligned strongly with Democrats at the national level. SF local politics are different ... everybody is a "Democrat," but there is a wide variety of political ideologies and affiliations. The Democratic "Party Ticket" and endorsement by the National Democratic Party are practically meaningless.

Safety orange would be a sight to see! It would definitely stick out among the city's landscape more than it already does!

I don't understand the significance of "international" orange. It's not. The orange in flags is nothing like the bridge. Were they wanting to create an international friendship bridge on a national border? Weird.

I put Indian like Indian red -:EXTREMELY RACIST OF CRAYOLA but I grew up with that colour crayon unbelievably in the 80s. I hope they' ve removed it. Actually I never put the two together. I didn't think they were speaking of the skin colour of Native Americans- I thought they just had a beautiful tan colour which I was able to get on vacations and in the Summer When I was a child in NYC I thought they were talking about the red of the feathers in the beautiful headdresses I saw in pictures.

Not to be too picky but in San Francisco the term "Painted Ladies" is generally understood to mean a specific row of seven Victorian houses on Alamo Square (Steiner Street side), not Victorian houses generally. Elsewhere, the term may be understood more broadly.

it's a bit of a phenomenon for us, so much so that San Franciscans have actually personified and named it... the fog is Karl. Karl has a Twitter and Instagram.

Great quiz, for the Willie question, to be inclusive you could include the 1990s mayor Willie Brown.
