Getting it gooder and harder in the San Francisco Bay Area

In the Bay Area, the locals are being worn down by bums, chaos, drugs, assaults, and robberies, and yet still can't change their voting patterns.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, we are seeing a lot of social media videos, both homebrew and news reports, of people responding to the breakdown of law and order with heartrending stories about what a nightmare they live in.

Here's the crying woman who was assaulted by a drug-addled bum as she carried groceries, scared to death to leave her house after dark: [numerous tweets at link]

While the breakdown of law and order affects single white women, don't think it doesn't affect anyone else. Fact is, blacks and minorities are the hardest hit. It would be fascinating to see the New York Times finally have a story to hang on to that famous knee-jerk headline interpretation of events any time anything negative happens.

{from one tweet:

Multiple people have told me they're considering moving back to Hong Kong after being in San Francisco happily for decades.

When people would rather take their chances with the CCP than live in SF, you know our current approach, being a crime magnet, is devastating.]

Imagine that -- preferring to take one's chances with the Chicom rulers instead of the lawless chaos of San Francisco. It certainly affirms writer Robert Young Pelton's observation that the foremost human right is personal security.

I think that you are right that liberals cannot connect the dots. Maybe the politicians they vote for cannot connect the dots either. But, I think that many of the marxist politicians know exactly what they are doing...tearing everything down so they can rebuild on a utopian dream.

All you recount seems accurate, but times are changing. CNN just had a sad but amusing tale — a video report of a black gal moving out of black Oakland while holding the black leadership accountable for the miseries of Oakland. AND the local NAACP is making complaint of the Democrat leadership, though not using the word “Democrat.” Yet. I suspect in time this will happen. Call me an optimist.

Leftist politics is a religion. Many carry it with them to their deaths. It’s possible to break away from it but it’s hold on people is very strong. I realized this when I read accounts of communists in Russia yelling long live Stalin as they were being executed.

If the only choices are far left and extreme left, it doesn't matter which one the voters select. The last remaining option is to not vote at all, which doesn't get counted.

If and when there are conservative, pro-American candidates on the ballots, and the voters continue to choose lefties, then there is a voting problem. Right now this is a candidate problem.

What’s shocking is your house is on the market again after only 6 months.

You would have thought that the buyer did some due diligence before making an offer.

Lbtards are extremely thick headed and often need to be hit between the eyes with a 2x4

Libtards, when they get into power, often just kill all that don't agree with them. I understand your sentiment, but maybe an axe or a sword would be better unless you can only afford a 2X4 :)
