In an annual poll commissioned by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, 70% of respondents said the quality of life in the city has declined.
The so-called City Beat Poll was conducted from May 25 to 31, at a time when city residents had faced the economic and social impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic for more than a year.
The responses also revealed that crime and homelessness are the top concerns among those who responded, with 80% of people saying they think crime has increased and 88% saying homelessness has worsened in recent years.
A few other results in the poll, according to the chamber:
- 80% saw addressing the homelessness crisis as a high priority.
- 82% said they wanted to see more caseworkers on the streets to help individuals with mental illness and substance use problems.
- 74% supported providing more temporary shelter for homeless people.
- 80% supported expanding conservatorship for individuals experiencing severe mental illness.
- 76% said increasing the number of police officers in high-crime neighborhoods should be a priority.

Haha 76% for “refunding” the police? Sure - I’ll believe it when a Republican can win even 35% of citywide elections.
Well shucks, just re-elect Pelosi and she’ll get right on that.
All of these polls...if you ‘weigh’ them...lead to a bucket of money of enormous size (that the public can never sustain or cover).
Plus all of these acts to resolve problems....are being suggested in one of the top ten most expensive cities in America. Let us remind ourselves...just a regular can of Coke in SF costs around $2.75.
To bad so sad they get what they vote for.
surprised it is only 70%
Considering what happened the last election, how do we know that’s true?
And if Californians are content to keep voting for this crap, why did Newsome and the legislature pass all mail in for the recall, which will make the recall much easier to steal?
Audit CA.
Newsom...
100% of the left has no common sense and lacks rational thought.
The other 30% are homeless.
Where’s the poll findings on respondant political party affiliation? Democratics fully own this creation!
70% say quality of life in SF has declined. The other 30% were either too stoned to answer, or too busy crapping on the sidewalk, to respond at all.
They should be happy, they voted for it.
“Embrace the suck.”
Ya Think???
The Streets of San Francisco? No, the streets of poopy.
I guess that happens when you have to walk thru $hit.
No sh1t!
