“We're going to be making some changes to Union Square and how cars are able to access,” [SF Mayor London Breed] told reporters after the burglaries. “There will be limited access in terms of when you come to this area.”

It seems as though the Union Square police takeover is a test balloon for an ostensibly liberal city fully ceding to capital and conservative talking points — the natural result of months and months of fear mongering about Business Owner Rights and crime and especially bogeyman District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who’s facing a recall effort.
Contrary to the Fox News segments and viral Facebook posts that have set the tone for this ongoing conversation, San Francisco isn’t some sort of socialist stomping grounds. This is a city of affluent liberalism, of “hate has no home here” signs that begin and end on residents’ pricey properties. The median household income in San Francisco jumped by more than $40,000 over the previous decade, according to Forbes, the second-largest increase behind only the Silicon Valley city of Sunnyvale. We’re represented in Congress by House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who’s worth more than $100 million. Most of the SF Board of Supervisors, save for Dean Preston, would vehemently reject the “socialist” title, as would Breed herself, who hasn’t taken a position on the Boudin recall.
Let’s be clear: The recall stems from misplaced angst about property and capital. There are obviously voters who are genuinely concerned about crime (more on that in a minute), but there’s a far more influential donor class full of wealthy liberals and conservatives who’ve teamed up to take out Boudin. That’s why SFPD has initiated an openly politicized temper tantrum in the name of saving handbags, not human lives.

If looting is now legal and the law will not act, then all the country rednecks in Cally should come down to The City and break in to and loot the homes of the rich Liberals .

Sounds like he’s afraid of a successful Chesa Boudin recall.
Will Union Square be located in Sanctuary District A?

Needs a barf alert big time.
“Alex Shultz is the sports editor for SFGATE”
I highly doubt this man has ever actually participated in sports.
Car access isn’t the problem.
The problem isn’t cars it’s looters.
Liberals create problems and then try to fix everything except the problem.
Yes, they’re looting a Louis Vuitton because they are oppressed and hungry. Of course!
Much tastier than those WalMart bags.
Funny how they don’t have to do that down in China Town
Hey democrat taliban party voters, it is time to suffer the consequences of your “vote”. I trust you get it “nice and hard”.
All of them are simply useful idiots.
“..There are, as far as I’m concerned, two reactions to witnessing a poor person stealing from a convenience store chain. One is to sympathize with them; their situation is dire enough to where they feel they have no other recourse, which is ultimately a reflection of America’s unsustainable level of inequality and a failure on the part of our social services. The other is to blame them and be upset at them; they alone are responsible for their actions, no matter how dire their situation might be....”
There is the third option libs never think about - walking over to check out and paying for the chips.
This guy won’t wake up until he gets mugged. Fundamental liberals have zero empathy for crime victims until they become one.
ps
BLM’s terror attacks and Soros paid DAs certainly caused police to stand down and allow petty crime to thrive. Left unchecked, criminals will be motivated to go after bigger prey. I can see Clockwork Orange type home invasions next.
The business and their customers pay for police which do not respond to crimes and now restrict legal business activities, not restrict the criminals but the business!
The business and their customers pay for the government’s justice departments which have decided they will not prosecute certain crimes under a fixed dollars amount.
The business and their customers need to advise these government agencies that either they do their job, provide the services or we will stop paying taxes!
Eventually we’re either going to need to re-conquer California.
This.
I remember reading somewhere that more flat screen TV’s are stolen than loaves of bread.
The looters will just move to a different area of the city.
