Long-Term Views from our San Francisco Tours

When there is a downturn in the economy, many of us look more short-term, how to get past the current crisis. From our San Francisco Tours, we often ask what will remain in the long-term. In other words, many of us look at the immediate short-term costs, rather than the long-term costs. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we are keenly aware of the real costs of what is around us. In the short-term, we look at the immediate or most obvious costs, the cost of the price on the item. As we can see from our San Francisco Culinary tours, the long-term cost of that outlook is a loss of local farmers, merchants, and communities.

From the point-of-view from our San Francisco Tours, the short-term outlook is part of reason we reached the point that we have economically. The view that short-term gain is the most important, rather than the long-term effect on our local communities and our world as a whole. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we can see that when we look long-term, we decide that when we emerge from a economic downturn, we want local farmers, suppliers and the type of merchants that we see on our San Francisco Culinary Tours.

On our San Francisco Tours, we see how each of us can make an incredible difference. We can shop locally and make sure that everything we purchase is fair trade, as we do on our San Francisco Food Tours. Fair trade means that the people producing our food make enough income to support their families and our communities, as we do on our San Francisco Culinary Tours.

As we see on our San Francisco Tours, that also means that we are shopping local merchants. On our San Francisco Food Tours, every place we visit is family owned. The places that we go to on our San Francisco Culinary Tours also support our local communities.

Each of our can make an incredible difference by deciding that we are going to support our local communities, so that the control of our local communities stays we us. If we see things in the short-term we may see a draining of local merchants as they are undercut by others outside of our local communities. If we see things in the long-term, our local communities can not only lead us out of the downturn, they can help to minimize downturns in the future by encouraging control of our communities to stay with us.
