plus ça change

From Dee Brown's The American West:

Bushrod Wilson, sailor and adventurer, described the town of San Francisco on July 3, 1850: "This place is a hard hole. Gambling, drunkenness, and immorality to excess, and a person that has just broke out in life is in great danger of being ruined here. Everything that will effect the senses is resorted to for base ends. The most enchanting music, the various forms of gambling, and obscene pictures, the allurements of the women of the town, and drinking."
