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’ve never been to SF and it’s just as well.
I’ll stick with reruns of Ironside, McMillan and Wife, and Streets of San Francisco.
“But, if you are going there be sure to where some flowers in your hair because there are gentle people there.”
And there is plenty of fertilizer for those flowers! You may even get some in your hair.
If I weren’t so lazy, I would write a book about how government schools ruined American cities. Forced association drove the middle class out of the cities, so only the rich who could afford private schools, the childless, and the poor who can’t afford to move were left in cities.
They fouled their own nest.
Let them live (or die) in it.
“It’s unfair to just say this is a San Francisco thing,” Chiu said. “These are the same issues across the state and the nation.”
No, it’s not. People in flyover country don’t sh*t on the sidewalks and throw their dirty needles in the gutter.
“They fouled their own nest.
Let them live (or die) in it.”
Hopefully, they’ll secede before the “big one” hits ‘em.
That way, we will be under no obligation whatsoever to save their sorry liberal buttholes.
I wouldn’t go to San Fran-sicko if you gave me the city.
They rarely think of the consequences of their actions until its too late.
For example, they all thought it would be wonderful to allow people to run around naked... until they realized no one wanted to sit on a bus seat or restaurant chair AFTER someone’s naked fat butt was on it.
I never go to the city now except for work
And then I require secured parking
Now on the other hand Marin county is lovely
90pct is parks and my kids can roam the neighborhood freely
It’s all liberals ( I’m friends with the other 2 conservatives ) but I just keep my opinions to myself
Honestly. My little town of Fairfax is Mayberry ( on acid )
Here is a small list of Marin attractions ( liberals can’t screw up nature only cities )
Pt Reyes
Mt Tamalpais
GGNRA
Loma Alta ( my lair)
Seven 100000+ acre foot lakes that are always full
Mt Barnabe
Stinson beach
Sausalito
91% parkland and going up
Now houses are like 1M so I rent but it’s great great great
SF. ? Foggy. No parking. And high crime. They can keep up it
Happy New Years freepers !
Poo poo
Pee pee
Parking tickets
Hee hee hee
Detroit, California. Coming soon.
Several years ago I was standing in line to buy a ticket for the cable car, near Market Street. A homeless man approached an Aussie tourist standing in line in front of me, then asked for a hand-out. The man replied;
“Not a chance, mate.”
That’s been my reply ever since.
This article solved a great mystery for me. I ride BART into SF for work, and I’ve always wondered why the escalators were so often out of service. Well, now I know, there’s so much crap in them, the gears get gummed up.
Actually, there are a lot of good things happening in Detroit, it just doesn’t get reported nationally. Midtown is growing rapidly. Long way to go still.
“I’ll bet even retired Detective Harry Callahan has moved on”
Yep, he packed up his Grand Torino and headed East for Detroit;)
Pelosiville
A friend was recently in S.F. for business, and had her car broken into in broad daylight. The scum bag used a hammer to bash open the front, passenger window and stole my friend’s computer and purse. (Yeah, stupid to leave those kinds of valuables in view.) The car was parked in front of a busy restaurant at the time, with dozens of customers seated outside, several feet away. Cops showed up, and refused to file a report - literally said “No” when my friend asked if they wanted her info, what was stolen, etc. My guess was that was one little way to fudge the real crime rate in that feces-smeared hell hole. No report = No crime. Leftwing magic!
I’m confused. Why are they reporting this now?
This stuff can’t possibly happen until after Jan. 20.
San Francisco grapples with growing crime, blight after years of liberal policies
Just one more cesspool of liberal politics.
Maybe we can make their former mayor, Newsome, the next governor... or even President!!
