Karl Malden weeps if he really cared about SF.

Nuke the site from space. It’s the only way to be sure.

Several years ago a pastor from Hong Kong (already Communist) preached at our church about how he had recently visited San Francisco and how shocked he was at how immoral and sick it was compared to China, and that he feared for the safety of his young granddaughter who was with him. Coming from a guy who lives in Communist China, that’s a pretty strong indictment.

“ A handful of people are becoming unfathomably wealthy while a larger group of people are so unconscionably poor that they have no choice but to defecate in the street.”

San Francisco is, and has been for a very long time now, a $pithole

As the late theologian RC Sproul used to say, “The norm becomes the normative. What is accepted soon becomes acceptable.”

He was so very right on this.

Right.

And what political party has a stranglehold on the city government? And how long have they had this stranglehold?

WaitaMinute! “rampant greed? I don’t believe it. There is NO WAY a progressive paradise like SF could be affected by greed.

San Franciso has been in decline since the 1980s.

You always think it can't get any worse or more insane but it always does.

It's gotten so bad that even the lunatics are having a hard time dealing with the non existent quality of life.

It will never change because San Francisco is far left liberal utopia and the lunatics running the asylum like it just the way it is and many are so disconnected from reality they don't know any other way of life.

The only thing San Francisco has to offer is the right to live out your own personal insanity The City.

They tolerate others right to flaunt their anything goes dysfuctionality because their flaunting of their own personal equally dysfunctional anything goes lifestyle in a collective showing of mutually accepted dysfuctionality

It takes a special kind of stupidity to look at an obvious case of severe mental illness and/or substance abuse and diagnose the problem as economic inequality. SF is so liberal that it is willing to tolerate, normalize and empower sheer insanity, because the powers that be consider any understanding of “normalcy” to be oppressive.

The person writing it is a tool.

"...Having friends and loved ones evicted and pushed out of The City due to rampant greed..."

Huh? I thought "Rent Control" was a leftist thing, a GOVERNMENT thing intended to "keep the cost down", found in NYC and San Francisco that makes it impossible to get an apartment because the people who have them pass them down to relatives, friends, just keep it as another place because they don't want to give it up, or new property isn't being developed unless it is designated as "luxury" property which is exempt from Rent Control.

43 years ago, my wife and I traveled by car on our honeymoon up the Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to Portland. Beautiful drive. We camped out the whole trip. One of our planned stops was to visit San Francisco.

But after witnessing a man, who looked to be homeless and mentally ill, lying on the sidewalk with his pants down around his ankles and who had pissed and defecated all over himself, we immediately left the city.

We were shocked and disgusted that this is what people put up with in the big city. We have not been back since.

I might add, that when I was a kid, my family lived in Europe from 1957-60. When we traveled to Paris, we witnessed the same kind of gross behavior. Men pissing in the streets. A very dirty place compared to what we were used to in the US.

Forever ruined the notion that San Francisco and Paris were places for romantics.

This reminds me of an old article in ‘The Onion’...

The only thing that could be shocking in SF is a conservative.
