San Francisco.. stands as a profound example of the damage ultra-liberal policies can do.
After 20 years of envelope-pushing changes to grow government and ease law enforcement, the once-shining City by the Bay has turned into a place where:
Property crime runs amok.
An online map is needed to track human feces on city streets.
Discarded syringes are common sightings.
Public urination is so widespread it has damaged subway elevators and escalators, building walls and power poles
...
San Francisco has the dubious honor of being at or near the top of numerous national surveys tracking homelessness, the cost of housing and other issues. One distinction is not disputed: it has the most property crime in the nation, according to the FBI
...
And in the media, San Francisco’s brand has taken hits, with headlines such as “Why San Francisco is the Worst Place Ever,” “34 percent of Bay Area Residents are Ready to Leave,” and “Complaints of Syringes and Feces Rise Dramatically in SF.”
...
San Francisco District Attorney Terence Hallinan -- who had taught Marxist seminars and helped run the Communist club at UC Berkeley
...
Smash-and-grab thefts from locked cars are so common that car repair shops have waiting lists.
...
With a crime rate of 70 per one thousand residents, San Francisco has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes
...
San Francisco faces a perennial budget deficit in the billions factoring in generous pension costs, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
The city, meanwhile, is proposing to spend $5 million on lawyers to defend illegal immigrants against Trump's push to deport criminals. This doesn't take into account the tax dollars Trump is threatening to withhold if the city doesn't comply.

I know a gay woman who turned down a very lucrative job offer there after watching a homeless guy take a crap on the sidewalk just outside her four-star hotel room.
I can't imagine why.......................
But, if you are going there be sure to where some flowers in your hair because there are gentle people there.
I’ve visited run-down areas of China and India that looked and smelled cleaner (and were safer) than Market Street and the surrounding areas in SF do.
So goes the rest of California. The worst terrorists in this state are the jackass liberals and anti-American politicians. Dumping ground for illegals and will fall in the ocean.

San FranSicko officials need to tour Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Memphis and so on.
To get a first hand look at the (Obama)hole city they will become.
It’s all of California now. The crime is out of control. You can’t even leave out Christmas decorations.
Sad to see a collapse like this but it's what leftists do everywhere they go. I'll probably never go there again. I'll bet even retired Detective Harry Callahan has moved on
You reap what you sow.
Ideas have consequences.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Surprise! Surprise! San Francisco.
Placing liberals in charge of a city is like taking a bodacious Obama in a clean toilet.
You know the results.
And things get worse daily.
Until you flush and clean.
American cities are devolving into third world enclaves. The people are patronized and there is no real expectation that they will behave lawfully or become mature productive people. Its becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for the liberals to maintain their safe enclaves. The only real hope is that Trump reintroduces widespread free market productive capitalism. Then and only then will real jobs worth having will be created and these cities may begin to recover. Otherwise no go zones will be the reality in a divided 21st century America.
Tough year personally, sold our house, wife and kids moved to Europe for school, I still need to work so I moved to San Diego. Was back in SF for work and could not wait to get out. I had tried 10 years to move and getting away from that cesspool was great.
I read an article recently by someone who lamented the downward spiral of SF. What happened to his city, he lamented. His city is gone he said.
Among other things, he noted the constant stench of urine in parts of the city. Also, be careful backing out of your driveway in the morning because there could be a homeless person sleeping in your driveway.
SF has been very liberal in issues such as dealing with homeless, but if anything that problem has gotten worse for them, not better, for all their “compassion” for them.
San Francisco,Detroit is *your* future.
Cordon it off along with other liberal enclaves.
Thanks for posting this.
People out of state need to boycott San Francisco for their personal safety and private property safety.
Violent thugs are breaking into autos with zero fear from the SF cops. “One distinction is not disputed: it has the most property crime in the nation, according to the FBI. The city also has crafted defiant sanctuary city policies and is preparing to battle the incoming Trump administration on the issue.”
Tourists driving rentals cars that are broken into in San Francisco find out who is responsible for the damage done to their rental car, they and their credit card data at the car rental office.
More criminal illegals will flood the sanctuary streets of Friso after Trump becomes Potus. Robbing tourists will be their main source of income. Let the liberal/Clinton/Obama voters come to Frisco and support the illegals roaming the streets of San Francisco.
Decades ago, I know it was time to leave when, out with my girlfriend one early evening in the Columbus district, we witnessed a bum drop trou and take a big old nasty dump in one the concrete flower planters on the sidewalk. Yuk.
