Seen in the 'hood

This sidewalk illustration comports with what Gallup is reporting: "Americans Are Some of the Most Stressed-Out People in the World, a New Global Survey Says."

The Gallup report, in keeping with prior studies, found that younger Americans (defined in the report as those between the ages of 15 and 49) were the most likely to feel stressed, worried or angry. The American Psychological Association in 2018 found that Generation Z is the most stressed-out age group due to factors such as violence, political turmoil, finances and health. And Millennials and Gen Z are known to have disproportionately high rates of anxiety, loneliness and depression, which can be tied to stress.

Yup, that's who is living around here these days.

The SOL Cat echoes the common personal ad restriction "no fats;no friends" while "frisco forever" could be gang graffiti or agressive local pride.

Here in the Mission, even the graffiti is political ...

when it's not an affirmation of love and comfort.

All from the Mission over the most recent month.

You wonder what long term effects this will all have. And the sad thing is, nothing seems to be able to be done about it. Life today is not simple and uncluttered like days of old. So much has changed.
