Is it really true that the most decadent city in America is San Fransisco? |
Travel Info I keep hearing this from different people that I respect and now that I am old enough to travel; I like to know if itls true about San Fransico. Travel Tips My guess would be Las Vegas Others I think the best way to find out is for you to personally check out the top contenders. San Fran, however, can't possibly compete with (in order): Las Vegas, Los Angeles, South Beach Miami, New York, and, in it's own way, Washington DC. Believe me, I have friends that would know ;-) I wouldn't say so... It's one of the most expensive cities in the country but I wouldn't say "decadent" I would say Las Vegas is, and also the other cities the person who responded before me mentioned too Problem here is the definition of "decadent". I suspect those that nominate SF are largely the homophobes. The anti gamblers would nominate Vegas. Personally I would nominate Washington, due to the high murder rate, which fits my definition of decadence. All in perspective. When it comes to excess, I think Las Vegas pretty much takes the cake. Gambling, drinking, smoking, sex, over-eating, commercialization, wasting resources, and all the rest of it. Not that I disapprove of the self-annointed "Sin City", mind you. Far from it...we should all have the luxury to be that "decadent" once in a while. I wouldn't like it to do it 24/7 for the whole year though. No, it's Vegas. if you go by the definition of decadent as provided by merriam webster dictionary: Text: 1 having lost forcefulness, courage, or spirit <he claimed that their culture had become decadent and weak> -- see EFFETE 1 2 having or showing lowered moral character or standards <opponents of gambling casinos claim that gambling is a decadent form of entertainment> -- see CORRUPT I would say that Sin City is more appropriate that SF. Even LA is more so than SF. |
