What kind of drugs are Jon and Alex on? They must be pretty powerful.
I went to SF 24 years ago on my way to Maui. Even then the homeless population was worse than any other US city. There were still parts of the city that were worth visiting. You could also see why it was so great in the 1950s & 1960s. Now, I would not go to any California city.
Five years ago we went to Oahu and the Big Island. Took the Hawaii Air flight from Boston direct to Honolulu. 11 hours going there. 9 hours back.
Didn’t the city pass a law to file lawsuits against businesses who want to leave the city? The law forces the business to stay in the city for six months before it could leave. That’s a shining city right there.
Thanks. Now watch it get repeated on all the “news” shows tonight. Dollars to donuts whoever sits in the idiot chair on The Five will cite this a study that proves liberal policies on crime work
“With US cities struggling, San Francisco has actually become a shining model of recovery”
ROTFLOL!
Longtime SF DA spokesperson to join Gascon in LA

But if you have $$$, is avoiding that crapola feasible? Or is it basically everywhere?
RE: more media propaganda coming....
Unless there were a big reduction in leftist news staff (as a disease that selectively hits only them) they will go on lying.
One possible help will be whenever common people know the stories are lies. Then they MAY doubt the rest of the stories. (TV news panelist just before signal they’re live:
“Does my nose look longer to you? Honestly, I think it’s longer.”👃
“White people today deserve to pay reparations to blacks for the 1800s days”
“Buying an EV is the right thing to do and will make life easier.”
“It’s good to have hundreds of pharmaceutical ads on every network all day——people love to hear the lists of deadly and crippling side effects.”
“Congress brought cable TV costs way down right away.”
“Obamacare saved me $2,000 to $4,000 a year and gave me greater coverage and better care for no additional coasts”Trump is being treated fairly like any of us of any party would be treated in the court system.”
You’re right.
And they can cite the official FBI report that violent crime has gone down recently. (Victims in hospital rooms without the TV sound up missed it. So did ones in the morgue.)
Headline:
Public safety group finds FBI violent crime data is higher than initially reported
A new report claims violent crimes are significantly underreported, and FBI crime classification has changed
Jamie Joseph By Jamie Joseph Fox News, April 8, 2024.
Earlier:
The FBI data, which compares crime rates in the third quarter of 2023 to the same period last year, found that violent crime dropped 8%, while property crime fell 6.3% to what would be its lowest level since 1961, according to criminologist Jeff Asher, who analyzed the FBI numbers.
Most people think the U.S. crime rate is rising. They’re wrong. - NBC News

Satire:
Subway rider on her back with blood coming out of her mouth after being stabbed tries to get her last words out to an officer: “I, I feel...better knowing crime is down.” Cop: “We lost her.”
SERIAL LIARS
Kinda weird how suddenly I can’t find a downtown web cam operating anywhere in Sand Diego...

Just harbor cams and other cams away from the city proper.
Jon E. Bortz is chairman and CEO of Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. Alex Bastian is president and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.

Isn’t it nice of The Hill to invite these two objective writers to submit an editorial.
Fellow San Franciscan. There is a bit of a tidal shift. Even many libs are tired of the excusing of property crime. In March we voted for means testing for welfare. It’s not much but it is something. The new DA (we recalled the old and and three lousy school board members, significantly) seems to actually be prosecuting some crime at least.
But still office vacancy is at least 50% (people in the know tell me higher), retail is way down and so sadly union square is now done with, and junkies and nuts continue destroying the streets where they are allowed mostly tenderloin and south of market and bay view.
Major cities webcams have to be repaired often due to wildly aimed rounds being shot below.
The “ambassadors” are ex cons in my experience. Some may be trying to do a decent job but I avoid them all.
The Hill was running a San Fran promo ad.
Last time I visited was 2 years ago, for a concert. The only areas I walked through were Pier 39, and the area directly around Chase Center/Pier 54. It was a Saturday night and Pier 39 was the emptiest I've ever seen. But it wasn't dirty. Years ago I used to make it a habit to stop by the Buena Vista Cafe for an Irish Coffee if I was passing through. But that area, and all around Fisherman's Wharf became a S#!+show, and no longer felt safe. It litterally smelled like a pit toilet. So no more.
I have been tempted to do the same thing to the surveillance state apparatus in my AO...
I figured when the time comes...
But, to the point at hand... It’s odd how many cities have those cams up and almost ALL of the SF ones are offline.
