In any case, this is a matter of ongoing speculation that reflects certain cultural divisions within the city. {{cite news |last = Sullivan |first = James |title = Frisco, that once-verboten term for the city by the bay, is making a comeback among the young and hip. Herb Caen is spinning at warp speed. |url = http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/10/14/DD67721.DTL |work = San Francisco Chronicle |page = D-1 |date = October 14, 2003 |access-date =June 12, 2008 }}</ref> <ref name="Friscophobia">Some tourists refer to San Francisco as "Frisco". However, locals discourage this. Samuel D. Cohen writes that many credit "Friscophobia" to newspaper columnist [[Herb Caen]], whose first book, published in 1953, was "Don't Call it Frisco" after a 1918 newspaper article of the same name. Caen was considered by many to be the recognized authority on what was, and what was not, beneath the city's dignity, and to him, Frisco was intolerable. {{cite web |last = Cohen |first = Sam |title = Locals know best: only tourists call it 'Frisco' |work = Golden Gater Online |publisher = San Francisco State University |date = September 11, 1997 |url = http://www.journalism.sfsu.edu/www/pubs/gater/fall97/sept11/Frisco.html |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/19971123191158/http://www.journalism.sfsu.edu/www/pubs/gater/fall97/sept11/Frisco.html |archive-date=November 23, 1997 |access-date =July 13, 2008 }}</ref> <ref name="The City that Knows How">{{cite web |url = http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=2000141201 |title = PPIE: The City That Knows How |access-date =June 14, 2008 |work = Amusing America |publisher = San Francisco Public Library |date = March 29, 2005 }}</ref> <ref name="Baghdad by the Bay">{{cite book |last = Caen |first = Herb |author-link = Herb Caen |title = Baghdad-by-the-Bay |url = https://archive.org/details/baghdadbybay00caen |url-access = registration |year = 1949 |location = Garden City, NY |publisher = Doubleday |id = LC F869.S3 C12 |isbn = 978-0-89174-047-6 |oclc = 31060237 }}</ref> <ref name="The Paris of the West">{{cite book |first=Gregory A. |last=Kompes |title = 50 Fabulous Gay-Friendly Places to Live |url=https://archive.org/details/50fabulousgayfri00greg |url-access=registration |page = [https://archive.org/details/50fabulousgayfri00greg/page/66 66] |publisher = Career Press|location=Franklin Lakes, NJ |isbn=1-56414-827-0 |year = 2005 }}</ref> --> <ref name="Census 2010-GCT-PH1-density">{{cite web |title = GCT-PH1 β Population, Housing Units, Area, and Density: 2010 β County β Census Tract |url = https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/GCTPH1.CY07/0500000US06075 |work = [[2010 United States Census]] Summary File 1 |publisher = United States Census Bureau |access-date = February 8, 2018 |archive-url = https://archive.today/20200213235157/https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_SF1/GCTPH1.CY07/0500000US06075 |archive-date = February 13, 2020 |url-status = dead }}</ref> }}
