Nothing wrong with San Francisco that a good earthquake and fire couldn’t fix.

“ But it would be worthwhile in the long run.”

You are wishing for the deaths of millions of Americans?

When the smoke clears, I think this is merely the ‘bump’ for 2023. Once you get to summer of 2024, there’s bound to be another cut, and another for summer 2025. They just aren’t admitting the long-term strategy here.

The comical side of this, going back to 1980s SF...you had one of the dozen cities in the world that attracted international tourists. Everyone wanted to spend a week in SF. The city thrived on tourism and money poured in to the revenue pot, and had a fair number of locals employed. All of these incompetent city council members and mayors just goofed-off and saw no incentive to keep the ‘machine’ running.

Often great cities survive the collapse of the countries and empires around them... Rome's an example.

That said, it's strange to see the opposite - a City like San Francisco dying a slow death from the sicko rape of progressives ideas.

Have you San Franciscans thought about asking the Demented One for a couple pallets of Bennies? Just tell him it’s to buy Christmas presents for the illegal aliens.

Maybe the mayor wants to be governor of California after Gavin moves on.

Is there any doubt that she would win?

To fix any problem you must first understand what the problem is. Currently the administration has not figured out the reason for the decline of their city.

I will give them a hint. What you reward, you will get more of. What you punish you will get less of.

The city rewards the bum, prostitutes, the druggies and the insane.

The city punishes the average law biding citizen with rules, regulations and high taxes, and not providing the services a citizen should expect from a city government.

As someone else posted, enforce the existing laws and follow the rules one at any National Park “do not feed the animals” because they will become depended on the handouts,

“The real problem is drug addicts who are homeless and/or mentally ill making the place unsafe for decent people. But let’s cut police protection instead.”

No...the real problem is Democrat rule over San Francisco.

The last Republican Mayor of San Francisco was George Christopher...1956 - 64.

It’s been 60 years of uninterrupted Democrat rule and policies.
