Even the straight, flat, streets can be nuts - like Polk St: pedestrians can jump out anywhere, slalom of delivery trucks, delivery scooters, ride-hail cars, double parallel-parked, with bike lanes - its a major cyclist route also busses and those little tourist scooters - oh and the electric unicycles that are always blowing stop-signs! the type, shape, size, and behavior is all over the map. go two blocks over and you have to deal with cable-pulled trolleys having the right of way across the 12% grade intersection. last week there were hundreds of drunken santa-clauses jay-walking between bars. oh and the line of tourist cars (who knows what traffic behavior they might follow!) heading up to see the crooked street - as the high school is getting out.
LOL get your memory checked, memory checked, if you recall driving in SF as unproblematic.

china imports around 10% of its food needed. the specifics get complex depending on how you measure and what you measure - but it is not at all credible that 36% of china's food is from south america. and in the recent past they were far less integrated with global trade

If it was indeed a spirit-medium con (who could say otherwise), I wonder if it is one for the ages.
If it was indeed a Feng Shui conflict (many might say it was), I wonder if it is one of the more consequential ones.
