These values follow very strong liberal tendencies and grew out of the [[Hippie]] culture that flocked to this city in the 1960s and 1970s. San Francisco values include: [[gun control]], [[politically correct|political correctness]], heavy [[government]] regulation of [[business]] or even [[socialism|socialist]] and [[anarchism|anarchist]] tendencies, support and sanctuary of [[illegal immigrants]], anti-[[military]], legalization of [[marijuana]] and other drugs, special "rights" for [[homosexual]]s, pro-abortion, [[environmentalism]] and New Age spirituality.

Mayor Gavin Newsom has made [[recycling]] one of his biggest issues, in a blatant attempt to appeal to his leftist constituency. Unfortunately, San Francisco already has some of the most restrictive recycling laws in the country, including mandatory recycling. Therefore, any new laws proposed have been intrusive and unnecessary. Newsom most recently proposed a $1000 ban for improperly sorted recycling. Garbage collectors would inspect the trash and issue tickets to "violators", who will likely be regular citizens who made reasonable mistakes. The laws have been labeled [[Gestapo]]-like by the Canadian press.<ref>[http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/4314 San Francisco Recycling Gestapo, [[Canada Free Press]]</ref>
