Most people don't want to have to attempt to raise children around such a "gay friendly" sinkhole like San Francisco. That choice was made a long time ago, and now the city reaps the 'reward' of said choice.
So, what will hizzoner do? Force people at gunpoint to stay in his sinkhole city to achieve his "vibrancy of our neighborhoods"? I wouldn't put it past him...

Its not the “gay friendly” part that is the problem.
We would very much like to think so, because of the blatant and easily publicized incidents, but it just isn’t much of an issue to the real inhabitants of SF - very few people see this sort of thing and it doesn’t intrude into normal peoples lives. People generally have to go out of their way to witness this sort of depravity.
Its far, far more common to see the plain misery of the homeless and the down-and-out. And they aren’t, for the most part, dangerous at all, just sad.
The biggest problems for families are high rents in good neighborhoods and the difficulty and uncertainty of getting the kids into good public schools.
