San Francisco’s Not So Slow Suicide

1. As I have stated here before, the big blue cities don’t have a hope in hell of solving their homelessness or addiction problems because all of the solutions are most definitely not politically correct. I don’t see a Democrat leader anywhere, let alone Republican, willing to make the hard decisions or take the flak required to get tough on these street people. But, oh no, nightmares about angry woke and disapproving mobs seem to be more than any progressive Democrat mayor could take.

   From what I can see, people are clearly and repeatedly voting for leaders that refuse to address these issues, so I guess in the end, they want squalor and filth in their cities.

2. The homeless vote, probably at higher percentage’s that the “normal
   “ residents. And I’ll wager the SF establishment is getting a cut of the shoplifting revenue.

3. The Origins of San Francisco’s Homeless Problem

4. Just curious. If you wear your pants around your knees, is it because of drugs? Which drug makes you do that?

   1. Bath salts.

5. All those “good, solid, working class” homeless people the “expert” refers to? Which one of those are “working” the streets where windows of any parked car gets smashed in within 10min. of parking? Is that the “work” they’re doing?

   And BTW … there are also hundreds of thousands of Bay Area residents living 12-unrelated adults-to-a-single family home. Primarily Heespankicks and FOB Chinese. They’re all over the South Bay and even up the Peninsula. It’s destroying marginally-affordable neighborhoods throughout the Bay Area. And throughout CA.

   1. How about the tech firms impact?

      1. Majority of tech firms are about 45 minutes south in the rich suburbs of Santa Clara, San Jose, Mountain View, etc (Silicon Valley). I bet there are not very many homeless drug zombies staggering around downtown San Jose. Or east, across the bay. Probably not huge numbers of zombies wandering around Berkley and Stanford either, other than the students and professors, of course.

6. On my Fuckit List.
   You can’t fix stupid, but you can put a wall around it then ignore it till it dies.

   1. The people in CA who live inside those walled communities? Yeah, they’re all the leftists who voted for legalized shoplifting. They’re the ones voting for the demise of CA.

7. The solution was is and continues to be less government and zero handouts.

8. How sad to see the decline and fall of a once-beautiful city. I spent a lot of time on business trips to SF 25-30 years ago. I’m glad I managed to see the city back then. I’m thinking Vancouver’s next.

9. Like our host Kate likes to say, they voted for it and now they’re getting it. Good and hard.
