Now that Asians have gained more power in CityHall, perhaps, finally, they(we) can do something about the longstanding problem of loud,obnoxious,rude, and intimidating malcontents that sit at the back of Muni buses(especially at the back of the #30,#8,#45).Those of us who live here and ride Muni, have long had to endure the rude behaviour of a few of our fellow residents. I know they live here because I have often seen them coming and going to and from their sec.8 housing. Every Chinatown/Northbeach resident knows who these people are and how they behave. Though small in number, these abrasive(mostly young people) are having a large impact on the daily psychology and quality of life of all who live here and ride Muni thru Chinatown. Resident and tourist alike should not have to endure such obnoxious and threatening behavior. They joy it is to live in this area where tourists happily spend their vacations, seems to much for a few malcontents to bear... Tourists apparently rich enough to go about enjoying themselves while they are stuck in dreary public housing living off foodstamps. And who gets the brunt of their frustration? The local resident(mostly Asian). These malcontents often seem to be begging for a confrontation or fight, know all too well that their loud, insulting behavior will usually be met with silence and averted eyes from tourists and locals alike. They know there is little consequence for their behavior. And should the police appear, they quickly become quite civilized don't they?
