Sounds like there’s problems in that San Francisco place. I will not be living there. If I lived there now, I would leave it.

I moved out of Los Angeles to Utah to escape such crap in 1982. Took a substantial pay cut. No one has to live in SFO. I have no sympathy. GFO or STFU.

Crime has apparently become so commonplace in the city that the Chronicle asked readers if residents should start to "tolerate" burglaries.

I have zero sympathies for people who get what they wish for.

If that’s what the elites want, there should be no private security, especially armed, and no closed gates in gated communities. Then we’ll see how tolerant they are.

Ask If Nanci Pelosi or Camala Harris wouldn’t mind tolerating that, I’m sure they’d be all agiggle with it.

Sure, as long as it’s a politicians house.

San Francisco is a harbinger of things to come. There is a perfect storm of defanged police, permissive prosecuting attorneys, tolerance of BLM and Antifa crimes, no bail “reform”, Covid release of prison inmates, uncivil social trends, ginning up of resentment and class warfare against “the rich”. The result is rampant, open crime.

with some asking "what the hell is going on" in the Golden City.

Golden isn't the right color for San Fran.

San Francisco: the leading edge of utopia where minds are so open that even burglaries should be tolerated. Glad I’m living in a narrow-minded community that doesn’t tolerate ‘utopian lawlessness.’

Let’s start by robbing the Chronicle of its building and equipment.

San Franciscan Nights

Strobe lights beam creates dreams
Walls move minds do too
On a warm San Franciscan night
Old child, young child, feel alright
On a warm San Franciscan night

I wasn’t born there perhaps I’ll die there
There’s no place left to go, San Francisco

Cop’s face is filled with hate
Heavens above he’s on a street called love
When will they ever learn
Old cop young cop feel uptight
On a warm San Franciscan night

“...focus on barricading homes...


Solution can be seen just a few hundred miles south in Latin America. Homes there are built from the ground up to be burglar resistant, but alas not burglar proof.

My daughter-in-law’s house in San Jose Costa Rica features bars on all the windows (of course), a small front yard, garage entrance with a wall/fence arrangement topped with razor wire, a 12 foot high back wall around the back yard also topped with razor wire with another tall lockable gate to protect the rear of the house. All of the neighboring houses are the same.

All but the very poorest of homes have some variation on this theme. They must be going to all this trouble for a reason. Burglars still ply their criminal trade, but they at least have to be somewhat clever and hard working to get anything.

Some in law enforcement, including San Francisco Police Officers Association, have also blamed the carnage on the liberal policies of Mayor London Breed and District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

These are radicals "reimagining" society and it wouldn't be like this if they didn't like what they see. But it isn't only them, and replacing these two won't solve the problem. That the Chronic could even ask such a question shows how deeply the rot has gone. It's a rather amusing little dystopian social experiment so long as you don't actually have to live in it, but elites living large and the rabble ankle-deep in human waste isn't really the stuff of science fiction, it's the stuff of a particularly nasty little medieval town. This, we are told, is "progress".
