If what radical leftists and environmentalists say about conservatives is true - that they dont care about the environment and that they are polluting the entire world - then it would seem that more conservative areas of the country like Texas and the Midwest would essentially be gigantic trash heaps. On the contrary, following that same logic, areas of the country that are controlled by leftists should be clean as a whistle. Why, then, are tourists currently begging the liberal city of San Francisco to clean up their streets?
It's true - San Francisco is quickly turning into a dump, with people injecting themselves with drugs in broad daylight, tent camps and garbage lining the sidewalks, petty theft running rampant and even human feces scattered across the city.
"The streets are filthy. There's trash everywhere. It's disgusting," argued Joe D'Alessandro, president of S.F. Travel, the city's visitors bureau. Ive never seen any other city like this - the homelessness, dirty streets, drug use on the streets, smash-and-grabs. How can it be? How can it have gotten to this point?"
It's worth noting that Joe D'Alessandro's job is to essentially promote San Francisco for the purpose of bringing in tourists, so the fact that he is openly speaking about how bad the city has gotten in terms of garbage and homelessness is truly telling.
"We cant be quiet anymore," D'Alessandro continued. "We've got such a glorious history, such a beautiful setting, and the fact is, were letting it all slip away into this quality of life now that is not good for anybody. We've become complacent, and I think weve taken this as a kind of new normal, and it's not. It's wrong, and we have to do something about it."

One of the most beautiful major American cities is now a toilet. THAT is Liberalism. That is America’s future.
Looks like a nice hepatitis/AIDS stew to me.
It really is sad-MrT5 was stationed in SanFran in the mid 80’s-it was still a great place to be a tourist-fantastic restaurants, historical places to visit, etc. There was the in-your-face homowacko crowd-but if a tourist wanted to see that insanity, they could go to the Castro district.
In the early 90’s while stationed here in Texas, MrT5 had a TDY to SanFran-and was appalled and disgusted every time he left the base by the roaming homeless, the homosexual hookers everywhere and the generally trashy rundown look of the place. I can’t imagine what he would have to say about the place now, if he were still among the living-but it wouldn’t be good...
Really, really sad. It was gorgeous in the 70s.
How is the EPA not all over this!

Maybe they need a Tweet? ;)
Loss of Money is the only thing that will force improvements from these leftards running San Fran Sh*thole.
NOT something as insignificant as Public Health and Safety
IDEA : Lets have the San Fran Sh*thole City Fathers have to go around for a WEEK and PICKUP the Feces and Drug Trash (sorry but not let the crap and garbage be pre-vetted first for safety) to demonstrate to them the peril of the ordinary citizens. Videos will be taken as proof of them getting ‘in there’ with THEIR OWN hands to ‘shift the filth’.
Yeah, like that will ever happen ...
That place is fully-ripe for a napalm air strike.
Kind of makes me think that’s what we’d look like a year after an EMP strike.
3rd world. We are there.
It's a doomed city in a doomed state. The real tragedy is that civilization allows them to relocate an doom other states.
Absolutely. I went there 23 years ago in my early 20s. My (now) husband had a lead on a job as he had just graduated from college.
We got there, looked at a few apartments, drove a round a little and I said, "No way I can live here"
It was absolutely disgusting and degenerate.
