The Castro

If I could live anywhere in the world, I would want to live within the Castro District of San Francisco.  The main reason I would want to spend my life there is because it was the center of the AIDS epidemic and has only recently, within the past 20 years, bounced back and become home to both the one of the largest AIDS nonprofits and the center for many gay rights campaigns.  The Castro is actually quite large, so let me be specific.  I want to live on the actual Castro Street, but that is extremely expensive as it is the main street and runs through the center of the valley.  It is a very busy area and there is always some kind of event going on whether it is a jazz concert or a march to remember those lost.  Living here would be amazing and fulfilling because I would be able to support the two main things that I believe we need in this country, gay rights, and a cure for AIDS.
