With savings dwindling, TV and film writers picket in NYC
January 11, 2008
From the Associated Press:
As the walkout stretched into its 10th week, hundreds gathered in front of the offices of Viacom Inc., including some writers who have seen their shows return to the air without them. One protester's sign urged the media conglomerate, which owns Comedy Central, to "Do the Write Thing."
Jay Katsir, a 26-year-old writer for "The Colbert Report," would not talk about the show, which resumed broadcasting an unscripted version on Monday, saying only: "We need to keep our focus on production companies and getting everybody back at work."
The strikers made themselves felt this week, with Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart back on the air without the aid of scripts or TelePrompTers. On Monday, organizers facing the prospect of a Golden Globes ceremony without any celebrities downgraded the event to a press conference.
Despite weeks with income coming only from the occasional residual check or odd job, those walking the line remained resolute.
"When you walked down the picket line in '88, there was an enormous amount of dissension. Here, there is none," said Terry Curtis Fox, a TV and film writer who's been in the business long enough to have worked on the 1980s-era "Hill Street Blues."
The guild went on strike Nov. 5, in part over writers' shares of potential profits from programming on the Internet and other new media. The 1988 walkout lasted five months.
Asked about rising speculation that the year's entire award season could be in jeopardy, Fox scoffed at the idea that the Oscars were a precious American institution that should be protected by a union waiver.
"The Oscars are the biggest marketing campaign in the history of the world," he said. "They sell movies. They sell the product of the people we're striking against."
Organizers insist the Academy Awards ceremony will go on, but with the Screen Actors Guild supporting the writers, it seems unlikely that celebrities would attend without an agreement.
Matthew Coyle, an actor who joined the picket line in solidarity on Wednesday, said that SAG had good reason to get involved.
"Our contract's coming up ... so we're going to be dealing with these exact same issues," he said. "It's not just a writers' issue."
Also joining the picket line were Tina Fey of "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live" performers Amy Poehler, Seth Meyers and Andy Samberg.
Steve Higgins, a writer and producer on "Saturday Night Live," said he hoped the union would make an exception for the Academy Awards.
"I think the Oscars are bigger than any strike or dispute that people have," said Higgins, of Montclair, N.J.
Mona Mangan, executive director of the Writers Guild of America, East, said: "It's the studios that have to save the Oscars."
The union says it is eager to return to the negotiating table.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, in a statement, blamed the union for the impasse, saying its demands were unreasonable and "have nothing to do with new media."
A message left for a Viacom spokesman was not immediately returned on Wednesday.
In California, Warner Bros. Entertainment sent a letter to some employees warning they could be laid off as a result of the strike.
"We regret the impact this will have on our employees, and we hope to bring them back to work once the WGA strike ends," the company said Wednesday in a statement.
Meanwhile, getting by is getting tougher for some of the writers, especially those just starting out.
"We can only go another few months" before running out of money, said 27-year-old Mike Weiss, who had moved to Los Angeles for a job as a writer for "Cashmere Mafia" just five months before the strike put his life on hold. Now back in New York, he's making payments on his car in Los Angeles _ and waiting.
Katsir, the "Colbert" writer, said he was starting to feel the financial pressure of not having a job.
With a glance at a nearby restaurant, and offering no hint of whether he was joking, he added: "I might look into Bubba Gump Shrimp."

When the going got tough, the Newport Grizzlies turned to ŌĆ£Wiley TimeŌĆØ to get thing moving in the right direction.
Jake Wiley, the GrizzliesŌĆÖ 6-foot-7 senior, scored a game-high 22 points (12 in the second half) as Newport put away the Riverside Rams 50-41 on Saturday in the regular season finale for both teams.
Newport, which led on 19-17 at halftime, opened up a 40-30 lead in the third quarter on the strength of 10 points from Wiley.
The Rams (0-10 in the Northeast A League) refused to go away easily.
The Newport girls basketball team awoke its sleeping offense to pull away from the Riverside Lady Rams 57-35 in the regular season finale for both teams.
The Lady Grizzlies, who trailed 19-14 midway through the second quarter, went on an 11-3 run to open the third quarter to break the game open.
Sparking the Newport run was junior guard Courtney Weise, who buried a pair of 3-pointers. Her second long-range shot gave Newport a 36-22 lead.
Weise would later earn an old fashioned 3-point play to extend the Lady GrizzliesŌĆÖ advantage to 45-24 going into the fourth quarter.
The Deer Park Stags, sparked by a trio of 3-pointers in the closing minutes of the first half, defeated the East Valley Knights 65-62 on Friday.
The win assured Deer Park (4-5 in the Great Northern League) a District VII tournament berth.
ŌĆ£That (the scoring spurt) was big for us,ŌĆØ said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
Zach Mohr, Uconn Peone and Caleb Guske keyed the second quarter offensive blitz by each sinking 3-pointers.
ŌĆśWe have to win the last 3 minutes,ŌĆÖ Ryan told his team late in the first half.
The East Valley Lady Knights, using a physical defensive presence and some timely fourth quarter free throw shooting, downed the Deer Park Lady Stags 48-40 on Friday.
The Lady Stags (6-3 in the Great Northern League), led by as many as 11 points in the first half, only to see the Lady Knights (5-3) hold them to only a Kimmie Brazington free throw in the third quarter. East ValleyŌĆÖs defensive effort allowed the Lady Knights to erase a seven-point halftime deficit and take a 33-32 lead going into the final quarter.
In a game where points were at a premium, the Colville Indians went on a 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter to secure a 51-47 win over the Riverside Rams on Friday.
The Rams (0-7, 4-13) trimmed the Indian lead to 36-32 on a Logan OwensŌĆÖ 3-pointer with 6:10 remaining.
Colville (5-2, 11-7) retaliated with baskets by Matt Hubbard, JR. Henry and Taylor Murto and a 3-pointer by Henry over the 3:30 to stretch the lead back to 45-32.
The Rams, who only shot 32 percent from the floor, tried to get back into the game, only to see the Indians stay a step ahead over the last 2:49.
The Colville Indians, sparked by a pair of Tasha Luu baskets, finally pulled away from the Riverside Lady Rams 50-38 in Northeast A League basketball action on Friday.
The Lady Rams, who cut the IndiansŌĆÖ lead to 42-36 on a Courtney Davis basket with 5 minutes to play, saw Colville close out the game with an 8-2 run, sparked by LuuŌĆÖs performance.
The win improved ColvilleŌĆÖs NE-A record to 6-1 (11-5 overall), while Riverside fell to 1-6, 6-11.
The Deer Park boys basketball team got five points from Blake Starbuck in the final 2 minutes to edge the Cheney Blackhawks 54-52 on Tuesday.
Starbuck tied the game at 50-50 with a short jumper and gave the Stags a 51-50 lead with a free throw with 1:02 remaining. The Blackhawks took their final lead on a basket by John Gingrich only to see Starbuck help the Stags regain the lead a 53-52 with two more free throws.
Uconn PeoneŌĆÖs free throw with 13 seconds left gave Deer Park the final margin of victory.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖre starting to play together,ŌĆØ said Stag head coach Ken Ryan.
The Cheney Blackhawks unleashed a combination of an aggressive man-to-man defense and dominant post play to defeat the Deer Park girls basketball team 47-27 on Tuesday.
The Cheney defense stymied the Deer Park offense for most of the game. The Lady Stags never led in the game as the Blackhawks jumped out to an early 12-4 lead.
CheneyŌĆÖs 5-foot-11 forward Allie Brown keyed the early surge by hitting her first four shots.
The Riverside girls basketball team, using a balance attack, defeated the Chewelah Cougars 47-34 for their first Northeast A League win in four tries.
The Lady Rams were finally able to put some distance between themselves and the Cougars with a 9-3 run to end the second quarter. The offensive spurt was highlighted by a three-point shot by Brielle Supanchick at the halftime buzzer.
First-year Riverside coach Buddy Wood was pleased with the way his team ran the offense, especially the way they moved the ball on the perimeter looking for the open shot.
The Chewelah Cougars broke open a close game with a 7-0 run to end the third quarter and another 23-5 surge in the fourth quarter as the defeated the Riverside Rams 63-37 on Tuesday.
The win improved the CougarsŌĆÖ Northeast A League record to 3-1 (11-3 overall) while the Rams fell to 0-4, 4-10.
Leading on 30-29 midway through the third quarter, the Cougars used three-pointers from Ben Johnstone and Caleb Wiese to take a 40-29 lead into the final stanza.

I have an image which I want to rotate, how can I do that?
CBitmapRotator rotates the image but is rotates only increments of 90 degrees. I want more gradual rotations some thing like a clock' hand.
Let me know if it is possible or not?

OpenGL (where available) can rotate images for you by arbitrary angles.
However if you are familiar with computer graphics, implementing a DDA rotator is a more viable approach.
Hi wizard_hu_,
Can you give me a piece of code, to see how to use DDA Rotator. Because, I tried to use CBitmapRotator :
But it doesn't work.
Thank you very much.
For example, you can implement a DDA class:
Code:class TBasicDda { public: TBasicDda(TInt aFrom,TInt aTo,TInt aSteps); void Step(); TInt iCurrent; private: TInt iDir; TInt iDelta; TInt iCounter; TInt iDivident; }; TBasicDda::TBasicDda(TInt aFrom,TInt aTo,TInt aSteps) { iCurrent=aFrom; iDir=aFrom<aTo?1:-1; iDelta=iDir*(aTo-aFrom); iCounter=-iDelta; iDivident=aSteps; } void TBasicDda::Step() { if(iDivident==0) return; iCounter+=iDelta; while(iCounter>=iDivident) { iCurrent+=iDir; iCounter-=iDivident; } }
And wrap around a 2D texture mapper:
Code:class CRender:public CBase { public: static CRender *NewL(TRect aRect); ~CRender(); void Line(TPoint aP1,TPoint aT1,TPoint aP2,TPoint aT2); void Flush(CFbsBitmap &aTexture,CGraphicsContext &aTarget); private: void ConstructL(); TRect iRect; TInt *iLeft; TInt *iLeftU; TInt *iLeftV; TInt *iRight; TInt *iRightU; TInt *iRightV; }; CRender* CRender::NewL(TRect aRect) { CRender *self=new(ELeave)CRender; CleanupStack::PushL(self); self->iRect=aRect; self->ConstructL(); CleanupStack::Pop(); return self; } CRender* CRender::NewL(TRect aRect) { CRender *self=new(ELeave)CRender; CleanupStack::PushL(self); self->iRect=aRect; self->ConstructL(); CleanupStack::Pop(); return self; } void CRender::ConstructL() { TInt h=iRect.Height(); iLeft=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; iLeftU=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; iLeftV=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; iRight=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; iRightU=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; iRightV=new(ELeave)TInt[h]; for(TInt i=0;i<h;i++) { iLeft[i]=iRect.iBr.iX+1; iRight[i]=iRect.iTl.iX-1; } } CRender::~CRender() { delete[] iLeft; delete[] iLeftU; delete[] iLeftV; delete[] iRight; delete[] iRightU; delete[] iRightV; } void CRender::Line(TPoint aP1,TPoint aT1,TPoint aP2,TPoint aT2) { if(aP1.iY==aP2.iY) return; if(aP1.iY>aP2.iY) { TPoint temp=aP1; aP1=aP2; aP2=temp; temp=aT1; aT1=aT2; aT2=temp; } aP1.iY-=iRect.iTl.iY; aP2.iY-=iRect.iTl.iY; TInt h=iRect.Height(); TBasicDda x(aP1.iX,aP2.iX,aP2.iY-aP1.iY); TBasicDda u(aT1.iX,aT2.iX,aP2.iY-aP1.iY); TBasicDda v(aT1.iY,aT2.iY,aP2.iY-aP1.iY); for(TInt y=aP1.iY;y<=aP2.iY;y++) { if(y>=0 && y<h) { if(x.iCurrent<iLeft[y]) { iLeft[y]=x.iCurrent; iLeftU[y]=u.iCurrent; iLeftV[y]=v.iCurrent; } if(x.iCurrent>iRight[y]) { iRight[y]=x.iCurrent; iRightU[y]=u.iCurrent; iRightV[y]=v.iCurrent; } } x.Step(); u.Step(); v.Step(); } } void CRender::Flush(CFbsBitmap &aTexture,CGraphicsContext &aTarget) { aTarget.SetPenStyle(CGraphicsContext::ESolidPen); aTarget.SetPenSize(TSize(1,1)); aTarget.SetDrawMode(CGraphicsContext::EDrawModePEN); TInt h=iRect.Height(); for(TInt y=0;y<h;y++) { if(iLeft[y]<=iRect.iBr.iX && iRight[y]>=iRect.iTl.iX) { TBasicDda u(iLeftU[y],iRightU[y],iRight[y]-iLeft[y]); TBasicDda v(iLeftV[y],iRightV[y],iRight[y]-iLeft[y]); for(TInt x=iLeft[y];x<=iRight[y];x++) { if(x>=iRect.iTl.iX && x<=iRect.iBr.iX) { TRgb rgb; aTexture.GetPixel(rgb,TPoint(u.iCurrent,v.iCurrent)); aTarget.SetPenColor(rgb); aTarget.Plot(TPoint(x,y+iRect.iTl.iY)); } u.Step(); v.Step(); } } } }
Example usage:
Code:void CTestAppView::Draw(const TRect& /*aRect*/) const { CWindowGc& gc = SystemGc(); TRect drawRect = Rect(); gc.Clear(); drawRect.Shrink(70,10); CRender *r=CRender::NewL(drawRect); CleanupStack::PushL(r); TSize s=iBitmap->SizeInPixels(); r->Line(TPoint(50,20),TPoint(0,0),TPoint(120,40),TPoint(s.iWidth,0)); r->Line(TPoint(120,40),TPoint(s.iWidth,0),TPoint(100,110),TPoint(s.iWidth,s.iHeight)); r->Line(TPoint(100,110),TPoint(s.iWidth,s.iHeight),TPoint(30,90),TPoint(0,s.iHeight)); r->Line(TPoint(30,90),TPoint(0,s.iHeight),TPoint(50,20),TPoint(0,0)); r->Flush(*iBitmap,gc); CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); //some outlining gc.SetPenColor(TRgb(0,0,0)); gc.DrawRect(drawRect); gc.DrawLine(TPoint(50,20),TPoint(120,40)); gc.DrawLine(TPoint(120,40),TPoint(100,110)); gc.DrawLine(TPoint(100,110),TPoint(30,90)); gc.DrawLine(TPoint(30,90),TPoint(50,20)); }
Sorry ppl...
I am digging an old old file...
I am following this code for rotation..
I am getting the rotated image ...(Its around 35-50 degree,i think)
But the image is too small in dimension...
But where to set the dimensions and angles???
Pls if u tell me i will continue with my work on rotation....
You need some trigonometry for that.
If you have an origo-centered rectangle with coordinates
-a, b (top-left corner)
a, b (top-right corner)
a,-b (bottom-right corner)
-a,-b (bottom-left corner)
The new coordinates after rotating with 35 degrees will become
-a * cos 35 - b * sin 35 , -a * sin 35 + b * cos 35
a * cos 35 - b * sin 35 , a * sin 35 + b * cos 35
a * cos 35 + b * sin 35 , a * sin 35 -b * cos 35
-a * cos 35 + b * sin 35 , -a * sin 35 -b * cos 35
Remember that Math::Sin/Cos expects argument in radians, so you will actually need 35*KPi/180 as argument.
Thanx wizard_hu_
I will finish off this thing...
Very much thanx..I hope that the rotation doesn't decrease the quality of the image..
Hi wizard_hu
can you give me a hint for your sample code in order to be understood ??
Thanks in advance
Which part?
DDA is about walking the points of an angular line.
If start point is (x1,y1), end point is (x2,y2), you could express y as function of x like
The twist with DDA (according to Wikipedia: Direct Differential Analyzer - though until now I was thinking Direct Digital Analyzer) is twofold:Code:(y2-y1) y(x) = y1 + ------- * (x-x1) (x2-x1)
- in computer graphics, you are interested in integer coordinates only, since on the monitor you never deal with coordinates like (5.5,6.789)
- in computers you do not necessarily like calculating with fractions/floating point numbers ("(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)" is not an integer number in most cases)
So DDA (or Bresenham's line, whichever you prefer) is tracking the changes of the integral part of the coordinates while you are walking that line. And for the fractional part, it tracks the nominator and the denominator separately, keeping in mind that the integer part changes when the nominator part crosses an integer multiple of the denominator - and since you already track the integer part separately, you can keep the reduced nominator between 0 and the denominator itself (or between -denominator and 0), so crossing a new boundary can be noticed via a simple comparison.
Let us assume that we want to draw a line between (0,0) and (3,2)
We initialize
We draw the pixel on 0,0:ThenCode:. . .*
- increment x (x=1)
- increment nominator by "increment" (nominator=0+2=2)
- check if nominator if it is greater or equal to the denominator (2>=3? no)
Draw the next dot on (1,0)- increment x (x=2)Code:. . .**
- increment nominator by "increment" (nominator=2+2=4)
- check if nominator is greater or equal to the denominator (4>=3? yes)
-- increment y (y=1)
-- substract nominator from denominator (nominator=4-3=1)
-- if the line is steep, this may need to be repeated (starting with the check)
Draw the next dot on (2,1)- increment x (x=3)Code:. . * .**
- increment nominator by "increment" (nominator=1+2=3)
- check if nominator is greater or equal to the denominator (3>=3? yes)
-- increment y (y=2)
-- substract nominator from denominator (nominator=3-3=0)
Draw the final dot on (3,2)In fact it can be seen that I was cheating: the line is distorted because the depicted algorithm does not calculate "rounded" y coordinate, but it calculates a "truncated" one (always rounds "downwards").Code:. * . * .**
A nicer implementation would calculate with doubled denominator and increment, and initialize nominator with x2-x1, which would actually mean that the points are sampled at the middle of each pixel (starting from (0.5,0.5)) and result in a smoother lineAnyway, in fact Symbian comes with a DDA implementation (TLinearDDA in gdi.h), but I was not aware of that by the time of writing.Code:. * . ** .*
The other code is about drawing "lines" using the DDA: 2D texturing is about sampling the texture using straight lines.

I've used CBitmapRotatorto rotate the image , I followed that link
and in container class InitializeControlsL() function I used CBitmapRotatorHandler class
but the image not rotatedCode:iBitmapRotator = CBitmapRotatorHandler::NewL(*this); iBitmapRotator->Rotate(*bitmap, CBitmapRotator::ERotation90DegreesClockwise); iImage1->SetPicture( bitmap, mask ); } iImage1->SetAlignment( EHCenterVTop );
what is the problem ?? sorry for repeat my question but i need help

Real tech worker says SF homeless "grotesque," "degenerates," "trash"
Just a day after a fake tech worker blew up the Internet with class hatred, an actual tech worker spewed hatred for real -- and it's worse than anything that our political thespian had to say.
As first reported by tech blog Valleywag, AngelHack founder and CEO Greg Gopman posted this gem on his Facebook yesterday:
Just got back to SF. I've traveled around the world and I gotta say there is nothing more grotesque than walking down market st in San Francisco. Why the heart of our city has to be overrun by crazy, homeless, drug dealers, dropouts, and trash I have no clue. Each time I pass it my love affair with SF dies a little.
He has since deleted the post and apologized, but it's hard to come back from the rest of what he wrote:
The difference is in other cosmopolitan cities, the lower part of society keep to themselves. They sell small trinkets, beg coyly, stay quiet, and generally stay out of your way. They realize it's a privilege to be in the civilized part of town and view themselves as guests. And that's okay.
In downtown SF the degenerates gather like hyenas, spit, urinate, taunt you, sell drugs, get rowdy, they act like they own the center of the city. Like it's their place of leisure... In actuality it's the business district for one of the wealthiest cities in the USA. It a disgrace. I don't even feel safe walking down the sidewalk without planning out my walking path.
You can preach compassion, equality, and be the biggest lover in the world, but there is an area of town for degenerates and an area of town for the working class. There is nothing positive gained from having them so close to us. It's a burden and a liability having them so close to us. Believe me, if they added the smallest iota of value I'd consider thinking different, but the crazy toothless lady who kicks everyone that gets too close to her cardboard box hasn't made anyone's life better in a while.
Emphasis added by Valleywag. The Internet machine didn't take long in shaming him. Cue social media shaming in 3, 2, 1….
"Sorry" doesn't erase a believe that it is a "privilege to be in a civilized part of town." @Gopmania: I'm sorry. https://t.co/aMqfJ2LYNU

Greg Gopman is the very worst kind of person.
— George Bailey Smith (@GeorgeBaileyDog) December 11, 2013
The plot thickens, though, as it appears AngelHack has a Twitter bot that scours the Internet for anyone writing about the company, and instantly retweets them.
It's already retweeted many of the hate tweets towards Gopman. His own company is throwing fuel in the flames of his Internet hate.
This is his apology, written just this morning:
Last night, I made inappropriate comments about San Francisco and its less fortunate citizens on Market st. I'm really sorry for my comments. I trivialized the plight of those struggling to get by and I shouldn't have. I hope this thread can help start an open discussion on what changes we can make to fix these serious problems. Again, I am deeply sorry.
It's this kind of class hatred from tech workers that made performances like that of union organizer Max Bell Alper yesterday totally believable, leading to one important question: Can you hack empathy?
The SF homeless population often are disgusting. It's a huge problem and pretending it isn't one helps nobody.
I agree. The homeless problem here is getting completely out of hand. Public safety workers offer them shelter and services and the majority of the homeless simply refuse. Instead, they use our parks as their home, the bushes as their toilets and they aggressively pan handle. They make excuses for not accepting the City's help.
San Francisco Government and their citizen's have to stop enabling the homeless by "giving" them food, housing, free clipper cards, clothing, needles etc... the City should stop accepting Federal funding for the homeless.
Until then, I say we should direct all of the homeless to the nice manicured park in front of City Hall and have them camp out there so the Mayor could see what the citizen's of San Francisco sees in their neighborhood parks and sidewalks.
They used to camp there, but the overpaid enablers in City hall did not want to have to look at them....so they were "displaced"
WTF? stop providing housing to the homeless? Somehow I don't get it.
Yes, I have to clean poo from my driveway on occasion and I don't like it. However, I do not think we should segregate all the homeless low income people to one part of the city. Let's talk about the lack of a real social safety net in our country and why other cities need to bus the homeless to San Francisco. Let's talk about the outrageously low corporate tax rates that all these interest IPOs are not paying. Let's talk about the fact that we still incarcerate people for smoking pot. Or we can be this a-hole and just want to move them all out of sight.

They can consume more than you can tax and borrow. And it just attracts more and more of them.
Excellent point Guest.
Everybody knows it's preferable to throw money at people who already have tons of it.
Expanding the balance sheet and dropping the new money from helicopters has not worked either.
or the Zillow valuation of your condo.
Cocaine works as well, as does crystal meth until it runs out.
You could cash out and spend it.
You are lucky to have the opportunity to buy a condo. The majority of San Francisco residents don't have that chance.
indirectly contributing to the increasing unaffordability of the Mission for low income people of color.
Your racism presumed that a woman with a Latino surname was poor and displaced when she was really one of you all along.
Or didn't you know that?
The VA Loan limit in San Francisco is $987,500. Serve a tour of duty in the military and then you can afford a very nice San Francisco condo.
On that VA loan of almost $1million? Most people still could not afford a condo in SF. Get real.
Many people don't need a loan.
Shows how Gopmans classism could not just be an isolated incident. Not many people in this country have $700,000 in cash to buy a condo. It's insane if you think about it.
It is about $4000/mo. Adding in taxes and insurance around $5000/mo.
While it is true that this is more than the median family income can afford, it is something that two adults with middle class jobs can afford. Two Muni bus drivers for example. Two schoolteachers. A construction worker and a nurse.
Do you have any idea how much teachers or bus drivers actually take home after healthcare, retirement etc? $5000 a month would be way over 50% of their combined take home income. People still need money for things like food, clothes, education, etc. The problem is that people like you and Gopman are completely divorced from the realities that middle class San Franciscans face.
I actually do know, I am buying a $700,000 house on a combined family income of $140,000/yr. It used to be less, under $120,000.
So I know it can be done because I have done it.
$120,000 - $20,000 taxes = $100,000 - $60,000 = $40,000 to live on plus savings
That is $3,333 a month for food, car payments, vacations, etc.
That is enough. Take on a border like we did and you can even put something aside. Most people just don't want to sacrifice for the future, they want to spend everything today and then complain about how unfair life is.
Seriously, you are arguing that most families have a combined income of $120-140,000!? Reality is right outside your door, go talk to people and see what they say. You are doing very well and can purchase a home when most people cannot. (And you pay extremely low taxes for $140,000)
"I know this is a bit more than median family income" go up there and see that.
Median family income is $87,000. But as I said, two hard working middle class incomes can still barely buy a house. Though anymore, it is a tiny place in the Outer Sunset or maybe The Excelsior or Ingleside.
Your taxes go way down when you have a huge mortgage.
You make waaaay more than the average San Franciscan.
the average home. For every home to sell at current prices it is only necessary that there are ENOUGH people who can afford it. And there clearly are.
That is why 2/3 of SF'ers rent, because only the top third can afford to buy. But afford to buy, they most definitely can.
That is about 13/14 times the average family income. And yet they sell ni days with multiple offers over asking.
The average worker shlub may not be able to afford the average home, but there are plenty of people who can.
not everyone can go serve the country for 1 tour. some people are disabled and even refuse disability. also your idea that everyone should just get a loan is flawed. do you really think building debt right now is smart? not everyone want's to have a million dollars in debt and not everyone coming out of the military is equipped with the skills to pay that loan off. you do realize how many hours you would have to work to pay off that debt right? unless you become quite successful it will take most of your life to pay off. i'd rather live my life for fun than to pay off a loan.
We were more than fortunate, except that we had to deal with two years of increasing abusive harassment from the American Indian Friendship House drug treatment center leading up to our eventual eviction and compensation from City affordable housing bond proceeds that funded an inpatient drug treatment center that got us over the down payment hump.
gone to a low-income family and, by so doing, caused housing price inflation and gentrification in the Mission
You self righteous ass. If given the opportunity, you would not buy a home in sf? Would you fret that you might be taking up space someone needier than you could use, when you're talking about nearly a million dollars?
You're annoying. You LIVING and RENTING in sf drives up prices. If you don't want to contribute to rising prices, you should quietly back your way out of San Francisco and move somewhere less desirable where you won't compete with others for space.
because there is no limit to the number of homeless folks who might come here if the services were generous enough.
It's a bottomless pit.
Your comment just isn't true. Also if Nevada and other places had better social safety nets they wouldn't be illegally busing mentally ill homes people to San francisco
I'm dealing with what is, not what might be if we lived in another nation.
So we should all just give up on finding real solutions? Busing people into segregated areas is the solution? Sounds like you would have been OK with keeping Jim Crow and wouldn't have lifted a finger during the civil rights movement.
What SF needs to do is ensure that we are not giving them more help than other places, as that simply attracts more and more of them.
It's like a zombie movie - they just keep coming.
And there are real solutions but they need to be addressed nationwide not just in San Francisco.
most voters don't care.
That is pathetic and self serving
In fact I didn't say what I wanted at all. What i said is that most voters don't regard the homeless as a very high priority and so they don't get much funding, at least not outside SF.
It is better handled by churches, charities and volunteers.
Of course your opinion matters. Every voters opinion matters (of course the GOP wants to stop that from being the case with all these voter ID laws).
And there are real solutions but they need to be addressed nationwide not just in San Francisco.
How appropriate!
Whats the solution to fact that we are all going to die? THRE IS NONE !!! Some things will NEVER be solved.
Ok, then how about this nation? Do you think we had similar problems with roving mentally ill individuals in 1950's, 1960's or even the 1970's? No, we didn't have this type of problem because states had actual mental health infrastructure that were supported by grants in aid from the Department of Health and Human Services. Its a big piece of public policy history called "de-institutionalization." Public policy scholars and sociologists write papers about it because it was used as an excuse to dismantle all public mental health initiatives. We weren't handling it as well as a place like Norway, but we were probably doing about as a good job with it as Canada. Now we just let them bounce between prison and the streets.
throw into the bottomless pit of institutionalizing thousands of these people.
Better to handle care through churches, charities and voluntary groups

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(RNN) – Last year's attempt at predicting the Heisman Trophy winner was a disaster, and there is a high probability that what follows here will be another one.
Not only did no one expect last year's top two vote getters – Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel – to be in the running for the Heisman Trophy, but a majority of fans didn't even know what team either played for at this time last year.
Barring another breakout season from an anonymous dual-threat QB or a heartbreaking, albeit fake, tale of love and loss, this year's Heisman Trophy candidates should come from the suspects listed below. Included is a brief synopsis of 15 potential finalists (in, more or less, descending order of relevance), who they are, why they have a chance to win and what may cause them to fall short.
1. Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M – It all starts with last year's winner. "Johnny Football" earned his nickname by leading the NCAA in total offense and leading the Southeastern Conference in rushing. He also outperformed the numbers put up by a pair of Heisman-winning dual-threat SEC quarterbacks – Tim Tebow and Cam Newton – in his own run to the award.
Why he'll win: He's already won once, and that makes Manziel the only player in college football with a proven track record good enough to take home the Heisman. He'll be more experienced, and Texas A&M will have a better idea of how to maximize his ability in its fast-paced offense.
Why he won't win: He may not even play. Manziel is being investigated to see if he profited off his autograph, which is prohibited by the NCAA and could draw a suspension. Even if he does play, opponents have a better idea of how to defend him, he lost some important teammates – most notably top receiver Ryan Swope – and the circus he created with his offseason antics could prove to be a major distraction.
He broke through a glass ceiling last year by becoming the first freshman to win the award, but history is again working against Manziel. Only one player – Ohio State running back Archie Griffin – has won the Heisman more than once. The list of players who have tried to repeat as the Heisman winner is filled with college football legends like Doc Blanchard, Roger Staubach, Ty Detmer and Tebow, and all failed.
2. Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina – If you didn't know who Clowney was last year, you almost certainly do now. He forced his way into Michigan's backfield and into every Heisman discussion with an incredible tackle in the Outback Bowl at the end of last season. If you haven't seen video of the hit, it isn't hard to find. But that isn't the only reason Clowney is being hyped. The 6'6" 274-pound defensive end had 54 tackles (23 for loss) and 13 sacks last season and is widely expected to the best first choice in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Why he'll win: In recent years, defensive players have been getting more respect in Heisman voting than ever before. Te'o, LSU cornerback Tyrann Mathieu and Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh have all been invited to the presentation ceremony. Clowney has an advantage over all three of those players because, unlike them, he enters the season as a candidate in nearly everyone's mind.
Why he won't win: Clowney is the only player on this list in danger of being ejected just for playing his position. A new rule subjects defensive players to ejection for illegal hits, but how that rule will be applied isn't yet known. Some officials say Clowney's hit in the Outback Bowl would have drawn an ejection under the new rule despite it not drawing a penalty. He has the potential to repeat that play on every snap, and because of his bone-crushing hits, his play could draw extra scrutiny. Aside from that – or maybe because of it – opposing offenses will likely try to avoid his side of the field and limit his ability to make plays.
History is also working against Clowney. Only one primarily defensive player – Michigan cornerback Charles Woodson – has won the award. Woodson was also a kick returner and occasional wide receiver, neither of which will be done by Clowney.
3. Braxton Miller, QB, Ohio State – According to some, Miller received a bit of a snub last year by not becoming a Heisman finalist. That was largely due to his team being ineligible for postseason play. That restriction is no longer in place, and Miller will try to lead the Buckeyes to another undefeated season and, more importantly, a championship.
Why he'll win: Miller is a dynamic dual-threat player like Manziel and accounted for more than 1,500 yards rushing and 2,000 yards passing while scoring 28 total touchdowns and only throwing six interceptions. He plays in an offense designed by Urban Meyer that is ideal for his talent and has a proven track record for producing Heisman finalists (Tebow and Utah's Alex Smith). If you're inclined to bet on this sort of thing, Miller is the current favorite (which, by the way, means he's not a smart bet based on history).
Why he won't win: While his numbers were good, they paled in comparison to last year's Heisman finalists and previous Heisman winners. Ohio State plays a weaker schedule than almost every other major conference team. The Buckeyes' toughest nonconference game is on the road against California. A road game with Michigan to end the season gives the slate a boost, but only slightly.
The weak schedule could help Miller put up big numbers while simultaneously hurting his Heisman candidacy. It's worth noting here that despite his gaudy statistics and lengthy highlight reel, Manziel wasn't considered a legitimate contender for the Heisman until beating Alabama. Miller could suffer a similar fate all season without a marquee opponent to boost his visibility.
4. Tajh Boyd, QB, Clemson – Boyd leads a pass-happy offense that allowed him to throw for just shy of 4,000 yards last season and toss multiple touchdowns in 10 games, including three games where he threw five. Boyd threw 36 touchdowns (only four players threw more) and ran for 10 touchdowns last season.
Why he'll win: Last season's 11-2 record showed Clemson can play at a high level for the whole season, and Boyd is the main reason why. Wins over Georgia in the season opener and South Carolina in the finale would cement Clemson as a top tier team – provided the Tigers don't stumble against the likes of Wake Forest or Maryland – and catapult Boyd to the top of the discussion.
Why he won't win: Boyd is a trendy selection right now, but trendy picks tend to fizzle as the season wears on because they're made based on hypothesis, speculation and a desire to be different than everyone else. Boyd's penchant for turnovers might be his downfall. Last season he threw 13 interceptions, including one against defense-challenged Auburn, two versus South Carolina and three against Duke.
5. Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia – Murray is seen as perhaps the best quarterback in the country and is the only one in SEC history to throw for 3,000 yards in three seasons. He's a virtual lock to do it a fourth time as well. He needs only 19 touchdowns to set the conference's career touchdown record, and he should set the career passing yard mark in Georgia's second game. He'll break the career record for total yards about halfway through the year, and should also take down the career record for completions just as the Heisman conversation reaches its peak.
Why he'll win: Georgia is in the strength of schedule butter zone – good enough to be respected, but not so difficult that it becomes a liability. The Bulldogs play LSU and South Carolina at home and get Clemson and Florida at neutral sites. If Georgia can make a return trip to the SEC championship game and come out on top, that might be the extra push Murray needs to get to New York.
Why he won't win: As said above regarding Manziel's performance against Alabama last season, winning big games goes a long way when competing for the Heisman. The only knock against Murray has been his inability to deliver in those situations. Murray threw 10 interceptions last year and six of them were in Georgia's biggest games (three against Florida, one in the SEC championship and two in the Capital One Bowl). It may take winning a conference championship to earn Murray the award.
6. Marqise Lee, WR, Southern Cal – Lee had 1,721 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns last season as a sophomore, including a 345-yard performance against Arizona, and finished the season second in the nation with 132 receiving yards per game.
Why he'll win: Lee is another trendy pick and the token wide receiver. He plays in a pass-happy, defense-averse conference and will have no shortage of opportunities to fill out his stat line and highlight reel. Only one of USC's toughest games – Notre Dame – is on the road and Lee will be a major part of anything the Trojans' offense tries to do.
Why he won't win: Lee was a trendy selection for the Heisman before last year as well, but USC's 7-5 regular-season record derailed his candidacy before it had a chance to start. It's hard for a receiver to put up big numbers in every game, and Lee is no different. Despite being the No. 2 receiver last year, Lee had disappointing games. He had just two catches and 32 yards against Washington and only 66 yards against Syracuse, despite having 11 catches (three of those, however, were for touchdowns).
And once again, history points a different direction. Heisman voters have not been kind to receivers in recent years. Only two receivers have ever won the award, and no receiver has won the award since 1991. Winners from the West Coast have been scarce throughout the Heisman's history, though Southern Cal is a notable exception to that rule.
7. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon – Mariota passed for 32 touchdowns as a freshman last season against just six interceptions and gained 800 yards rushing. He threw a touchdown in every game, including against Arizona State when he had less than 50 yards.
Why he'll win: Mariota has experience now and plays a fairly easy schedule. If he can lead the Ducks to a road win over Stanford, he should be in good position to cruise to the Pac-12 championship game and have one final chance to impress the voters. Oregon's offense is a quarterback's dream, and the Ducks will likely score at least 40 points in every game they play.
Why he won't win: Oregon has a new coach, and with that comes a lot of uncertainty. Oregon has struggled to finish a season unscathed, and Stanford has been a particularly tough challenge in recent years. As with Murray, Mariota will need to get the team over that hurdle and win a conference title to have a chance.
8. AJ McCarron, QB, Alabama – McCarron played his way into the Heisman discussion last season with his blindingly efficient numbers and didn't throw an interception until the Crimson Tide's 10th game. He finished with 30 touchdowns, three interceptions and threw for four touchdowns in four games.
Why he'll win: McCarron is the only quarterback in college football who has won a national championship, and he has two of them. The Tide's toughest road game is its second game of the year against Texas A&M, and it plays LSU at home. Both of those games come after bye weeks. McCarron has more proven weapons at receiver than in either of his two previous years and has answered every challenge he's been given.
Why he won't win: He plays for Nick Saban. Saban's ruthless commitment to offensive balance kept McCarron's passing yards under 200 in half of Alabama's games last year, and the main threat to take passing opportunities away from McCarron is himself a potential Heisman candidate.
9. T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama – The next in Alabama's line of running backs may be the best of them all, and that list has two Heisman finalists and one winner. Yeldon rushed for more than 100 yards five times, including the first college game he ever played, and became the first Alabama freshman to top 1,000 yards. He did that despite never starting a game and spent the first few games of the season in a three-man rotation.
Why he'll win: He'll be the starter now and will be the feature back in an offense that won Mark Ingram the Heisman and sent Trent Richardson to the presentation ceremony. Yeldon's biggest games last year were in the Tide's most important games. Yeldon rushed for 111 in the season opener against Michigan, 153 in the SEC championship game, 108 in the BCS championship game and caught a dramatic, game-winning touchdown pass against LSU.
Why he won't win: He plays for Nick Saban. The backfield is still crowded. Despite being 6'2, 218 pounds and possessing a punishing running style, he'll share time with any number of other backs, including Kenyan Drake, Dee Hart, Altee Tenpenny and Jalston Fowler, who has been converted to H-back but could still poach carries at the goal line.
10. Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville – Bridgewater tossed 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season and led Louisville to a 33-23 win over Florida in the Sugar Bowl. He surpassed 300 yards six times, threw for more than 400 yards twice and threw for multiple touchdowns in 10 games.
Why he'll win: Bridgewater's nickname is "Gump" after Forrest Gump, who himself was quite a football player. Bridgewater isn't known for being able to "run like the wind blows" but he turned it into a backronym that stands for "Great Under Major Pressure." He completed nearly 70 percent of his passes last season and engineered an impressive win over Florida that has everyone buzzing about this season.
Why he won't win: Bridgewater might be great under pressure, but he won't have any opportunities to show it. Looking over Louisville's schedule, it's hard to pinpoint what the Cardinals' toughest game is. It's the kind of schedule that should allow for a 4,000-yard passing year easily. The downside to that is any loss to any team can be pointed to as a reason why Bridgewater shouldn't win. Bridgewater's season will have to be unassailable to win the Heisman against such weak opponents.
11. Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia – Perhaps the biggest surprise of last season was Gurley's explosion onto the scene. As a freshman, Gurley ran for 1,385 yards and 17 touchdowns and ran for 100 yards or more nine times, including against Alabama's juggernaut defense.
Why he'll win: Georgia's spread offense provides a rare opportunity for running backs in the SEC. Gurley is tailor-made for that type of offense and should not only repeat his rushing performance, but expand on his 16 catches out of the backfield and become a bigger threat in the red zone.
Why he won't win: It will be difficult to take the spotlight away from Murray and break out as the Bulldogs' best player. He'll also share time at running back with Keith Marshall.
12. Brett Hundley, QB, UCLA – Hundley threw for more than 3,700 yards with 29 touchdowns and rushed for more than 400 yards and nine TDs.
Why he'll win: UCLA's entire relevance as a football team right now is because of Hundley. If the Bruins pull off any upsets over Oregon, USC or Stanford, Hundley will be the reason why.
Why he won't win: Upsets are not a guarantee and UCLA could just as easily be upset by Arizona, Nevada or Washington, like last year's loss to California when Hundley threw four interceptions.
13. Taylor Martinez, QB, Nebraska – Martinez rushed for more than 1,300 yards and passed for a shade under 4,000 with 33 total touchdowns, and he holds the Nebraska career record for total offense.
Why he'll win: Martinez is a senior and should close his Cornhusker career with a bang. Nebraska plays a schedule on par with Ohio State's, and it doesn't face the Buckeyes until a potential matchup in the Big Ten championship game, which would be one week before Heisman votes are cast.
Why he won't win: Martinez had four games with multiple interceptions and will be working with an uninspiring supporting cast.
14. Ka'Deem Carey, RB, Arizona – Carey led the nation last year with 1,929 yards rushing and scored 23 touchdowns on the ground. He added another 300 yards receiving with one touchdown and rushed for 100 yards 10 times, including a monster 366-yard game against Colorado.
Why he'll win: His rushing numbers and 6.4-yard per carry average should continue. Carey has the speed to break long runs and the power to force his way through the line for short touchdowns. Everything Arizona does is built around getting Carey the ball.
Why he won't win: The Wildcats will be weaker on the offensive line and have a lot of uncertainty at quarterback, both of which may put too much pressure on Carey.
15. Lache Seastrunk, RB, Baylor – Seastrunk averaged more than 7.5 yards per carry last season and helped Baylor to eight wins and a 49-26 win over UCLA in the Holiday Bowl, and he'll be a bigger part of the offense now that quarterback Nick Florence, who threw for more yards than Heisman winner Robert Griffin III, is gone.
Why he'll win: After last year, Seastrunk predicted he would win the Heisman this season.
Why he won't win: Same reason.

For numerous basketball purists it must have been agonizing to watch the Oklahoma City Thunder play last season. Here was a team who ranked dead last in assists per game, committed the most turnovers, and had the lowest assist to turnover ratio in the league. Yet they were still able to finish with the second best record in the Western Conference and managed to beat not one, or two, but three former NBA Champions who in the last 15 years had won ten NBA titles between to reach the NBA Finals. What made it even more infuriating to purists of the game was that the Thunder's playoff success was not due to the team playing well, but rather the opposite. Both the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers played terribly allowing a team with a rather simplistic and predictable offense to simply steamroll them while the San Antonio Spurs, who started the Western Conference Final series with a two games to one lead simply folded under the pressure. Only the Miami Heat had the insight and the common sense to figure out the way to shut down the Thunder and it did so by rather simple roster adjustment. Instead of having their star Lebron James use up much of his energy defending Thunder star Kevin Durant in the series, heat coach Erick Spoelstra had a better idea. He shifted Lebron to the power forward position placing the Heat's defensive specialist Shane Battier to humbug Durant on the defensive end. Spoelstra, as many have already surmised knew that the Thunder's offense primary consisted of the ball being dominated by both Durant and Russell Westbrook while their three other teammates simply stood and watched. Knowing full well that Serge Ibaka would not less see the ball let alone get any touches, he knew that Lebron would be free to aide with doubling down on Durant along with not spending energy guarding on the defensive end.
Unfortunately, the arrival of Andrew Bynum can be considered as both a blessing and curse for 76ers coach Doug Collins, who has pretty much coasted under the radar with his team who were low on talent, but high in effort. Now much more pressure will be on him to not only coach this overachieving team to the post season, which he has done masterfully the last two years, but to coach a team that will be under the microscope as well. Collins will not only have something to prove to fans in Philly, the media and the league, but he will have the challenge of assuring the happiness and compliance of his new prized acquisition. Once the season ends, Bynum will be an unrestricted free agent and it will be up Collins and the front office to convince him to remain the face of the franchise for years to come. Last season Collins had the luxury of not having to deal with a pre-Madonna star player with a huge ego making it easier to keep his players on the same page. Although there were grumblings amongst some players about their inconsistencies concerning playing time, he basically kept that team in line. Now he will have to deal a high profile NBA All Star with impeccable credentials, and who is on the last year of his current contract making it very difficult for Collins to assert dominance over. He will have his front office watching him very closely and breathing down his neck; the slightest misstep can mean him leaving the coaching seat in Philly and returning to the broadcast booth. So in effect, the arrival of Andrew Bynum can have great potential for success for Philly or become a disaster of epic proportions as things may go quite bad in a hurry.
Instead of moving forward, it seems as if San Antonio is trying to turn back the clock thinking that they still have a shot at another NBA title with Duncan back. Unfortunately that is farther from the truth as San Antonio already proved in the last three seasons that its window of opportunity to win a title had all but closed. Instead of giving the organization a sense of closure, last season phenomenal playoff performance actually has done the opposite giving management a false sense of hope with the delusion that they can still do it again. Last season was probably the best that San Antonio could have ever done and with a core of players whose average age is 34 years old, it seems that the only place the Spurs will be going is down. Although that is not to say that the Spurs will just collapse all of a sudden—they will still continue to win 50 or more games for years to come; however, by signing Duncan they did themselves a disservice as they essentially mortgaged their future on his aging and war weary shoulders. And it is such a letdown considering the fact that the Spurs have a group of young and up and coming player ready willing and able to be handed the baton.
Memphis had one of the most active off-seasons in the league as they have completely retooled and re-hauled their roster from last season making it even deeper and stronger than it has ever been before. They started by re-upping the contracts of Marc Gasol, Mareese Speights, and Darrell Arthur giving the Grizzlies possibly the biggest, deepest and most talented front court in the league. Along with strengthening the front court, they also have bolstered a glaring weakness they have had in poor perimeter shooting by adding sharp shooting guard Jerryd Bayless. Last season with the Toronto Raptors, Bayless had his best season as a pro averaging 11.4 points and 3.8 assists per game while shooting a whopping .423 from beyond the arc. Bayless' signing might be the most underrated one as he has the potential to be an All Star and may give Tony Allen a run for his money for the starting shooting guard spot as well.
Before, the Bobcats were simply treading water hoping not to drown—they were not good enough to make the playoffs or good enough to go high enough in the draft to get a franchise changing pick. Although many shunned the Cats and team owner Michael Jordan for purposely tanking the season in order to have a stronger chance to get the number one pick which unfortunately did not happen; however what he and his GM Rich Cho did was the right thing. The Bobcats were going nowhere and would have not gone any further than they had already gotten. Fan morale was already at an all time low thanks to the rather mediocre roster so Jordan made the wise decision to blow the whole thing up and allow Cho to go about his plan build the team through the draft. In effect by tanking the team the way they did, they in effect did a reset on the team cleaning the slate and decided to start over from square one.
Qualifying for the playoffs was probably the worst thing to happen to this young Utah Jazz team. Instead of preparing to rebuild and starting from scratch, now the Jazz and their fans have the delusion that they are still a playoff team which is simply not the case. The Jazz were lucky, that is all; they were lucky enough to have the Phoenix Suns and the Houston Rockets, who were odds on favorite to win the final spot in the West, collapsed giving Utah the room to just slip in unnoticed. Instead of taking a long term view to develop a solid core of young players whom includes Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter, Gordon Hayward, Jeremy Evans and Alec Burks; the Jazz will be looking to continue with the roster it currently has that is extremely flawed to say the least. The team is overloaded to the hilt with big post players yet have no one in their team that can consistently hit a jump shot beyond ten feet from the hoop.
Oregon State might not be the team they were a few years ago, but they're still dangerous.

The port of Malaga, Spain. Malaga's historic old town is a short distance from the cruise pier.
Playa de la Malagueta
Playa de la Malagueta is Malaga's city beach. The beach may be man-made (originally way back in the 19th century from Saharan sand), but it makes a great place to beach-bum the day away. There are several small restaurants and bars behind the sands offering a selection of drinks and tapas. The beach is next to the harbor to the right (eastwards) as you walk off the cruise pier.
Picasso Museum
The Picasso Museum is located in a picturesque part of Malaga's old town, between the cathedral and the Moorish palace of Alcazaba. Picasso spent his childhood in Malaga, before moving to Barcelona. Exhibits include over 200 works by the artist, donated by his family.
Alcazaba Fortress
Above Malaga's old town stands the Alcazaba fortress, the best preserved Arab citadel in Spain. It was built by King Badis of Granada in the 11th century. Much of the stone used in the building of the fortress came from older Roman buildings (the ruins of a spectacular Roman Theater lie just below). The fort contained three palaces, and its walls had over a hundred towers.
El Castillo de Gibralfaro
Gibralfaro Castle is built on the highest point of the city, and commands a magnificent view of its surrounds, encompassing the bullring and harbor to the south, the city to the east and west, and the large water dam in the foothills to the north. The oldest ruins in the castle date back to the Phoenician period of the 8th century, but it was Sultan Yusuf I of Granada who ordered the construction of the fort as you see it today in the 15th century. The castle's gardens offer refreshing shade on a hot afternoon. The castle is a short but steep hike up from the Alcazaba Fortress.
The Alhambra
A popular (but long and tiring) excursion from Malaga is to Alhambra in Granada, the last and most sumptuous Moorish palace in Spain. The Alhambra consists of four wonderful sights clustered together on a hill – Charles V's palace, the Alcazaba, the Generalife Gardens, and most magnificent of all the Palacios Nazaries with its world famous trilogy of the Court of Myrtles, the Hall of the Ambassadors, and the Court of the Lions. The Alhambra is half-way between Malaga and Madrid, a distance of some 150 miles, which takes three hours by coach.
