Ashley: There is a modern movement of people who try to live as closely to the original hippie way of life as possible, they are known by various names among which is "dirt hippie". They go to Burning Man every year, listen to The Grateful Dead, etc. While you are technically correct in your statement, you are wrong about the complete extinction of hippies.Plus, I've seen 60 year old hippies who are still alive and who still light up, and amazingly, they are still clear enough in their minds to reminisce about the old days.

The entire western border of San Francisco is beach/coastline, and most of it fairly undeveloped. I mean, it's actually beach, dunes, rocks, cliffs... not the featureless expanses of sand, volley ball nets, and mowed lawns you find at LA area beaches. And there are several other beaches in the city on the northern (and a couple on the eastern) border of the city, too. SF has more beach area than LA, despite being a smaller city. Some restaurants suck, some are great. Same goes for anywhere. I'm guessing you didn't try more than a few, seemingly in more touristy areas. Nobody except tourists really care about the GG Bridge or the stadium, which leads me to think you've had very minimal experience in San Francisco - mostly stayed in tourist areas, hence thinking all the buildings are crowded (they're not in much of the city, only the few parts you seem to have been) and the city "smells like a sewer" (I'm assuming you're referring to Market St downtown and maybe parts of the Tenderloin you strayed into - it doesn't, but I can see why you'd say that). There are similarly "dirty" parts of LA, too, btw - far worse, actually. And LA overall is far more sprawled out, making it more difficult to get around, etc... I'm really just guessing, of course, but the examples you chose suggest you've seen very little of the city... maybe been a few times for brief trips, at most. Obviously didn't go to the western part of the city where you would have found ~6 miles straight of minimally (and for parts, pretty much undeveloped) coastline, about 4 miles straight of which is just pure beach (no cliffs, no rocks - though there are many beaches within that part along the NW coast, too). And I love SF's weather. Perfectly tepid year-round. Now, there are things I hate about SF... mostly the cultural shift caused by the homogenizing, pseudo-liberal (quasi-conservative) influence of dotcommers and related transplant groups. And I could go on about how that's ruined the city. But none of what you said holds up (some is just peripheral - a small fraction of the city which people in the city tend to not even bother with, and some is just outright wrong/factually incorrect).

"Hippie" is a peace movement in protest of the Vietnam War - not just an actual person or group of people that existed in the 1960's and '70's. Hippies ceased to exist in 1975 when the US lost the war in Vietnam.
You may as well ask a Bolshevik whether or not he likes peanut butter. There are no Bolsheviks anymore, nor are there any 'hippies'.
Hippie culture is youth culture. Hippies who were 19 in 1973 are now 53 years of age and are no longer hippies, so your question is quite redundant and a contradiction in terms.
***The people who claim to be 'hippies' today are FORMER hippies. It's like calling a Holocaust survivor who was a prisoner of war in 1944 a prisoner of war today in 2007.
Get me?
