I hardly ever see flags. (City and Fed buildings do) If you drive around a bit, you might see one or two on residential houses but in San Francisco, at least in my neighborhood, I see few.. infact, If I go to Chinatown, I will see more Taiwanese flags there than American Flags. I love shopping there..
