SF Residents Give City Officials Earful About Increase in Crime, Decrease in Quality of Life
NBC Bay Area ^ | 1/17/23 | By Terry McSweeney

San Francisco residents gathered in anger and frustration Tuesday at a town hall meeting in the Marina District where city officials got an earful about the increase in crime and a decrease in quality of life.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, Police Chief Bill Scott, Supervisor Catherine Stefani and several hundred riled citizens met at Marina Middle School and they agreed on one thing.

“A suspect barricaded on Geary Street with a gun, there was an armed robbery on Chestnut Street. This is unacceptable. This is unacceptable!” said Stefani.

The impetus for this meeting was the at least 17 car windows smashed on Filbert Street Sunday night. But there were other recent headline grabbing crimes in District 2. A photographer beaten during an attempted robbery at the Palace of Fine Arts and a child treated for fentanyl poisoning after playing in Moscone Park.

SF city officials were overheard saying after the meeting, the peasants are without a brain. This is what the peasants voted for !

SF practices the opposite of broken windows policing. It let ignoring little crimes escalate into full scale anarchy. I don’t think that their left wing ideology will ever let them turn to a right wing savior. It’s fun watching them hang from their own petard.

Increase in crime? It’s called “street reparations.” You get that by voting Democrat. Decrease in quality of life? It’s called “sustainability.” You get that by voting Democrat (or tolerating Democrat voter fraud, as the case may be).

This is too funny. Do these people actually think democrats care what they think. What is happening is exactly what democrats want to happen.

When it was all said and done, there seemed to be an agreement to have another town hall meeting.

... because there aren't supposed to be any consequences for inaction masquerading as action.

Looks like Can't-Do people are in a panic because they thought they could kick the CAN down the road forever.

Un-American!

Like those worst-movie awards, there should be one for designating "Un-American Cities". Now there's a prize everyone could win.

Officials: Boy, you SF residents gave us an earful.
So who are you going to vote for next time?

Crowd: Oh, Democrats, of course. All the way. We just like to let off steam complaining. Go Dems.

“Residents voted for this incompetence. Hire incompetent people, get incompetence.”

Ooh, I don’t think it is incompetence, I think they know exactly what they are doing. I think these politicians also know the effect their actions and policies are having and will have on the communites that serve them.

“They voted for these democraps, why are they complaining?”

After the past two election cycles, I am starting to wonder if they really did vote for the Demcrats.

Q for everyone saying they voted for this: How do you know that?

Did the nation vote for the POTATUS?

If CA is so liberal, why does it have all mail-in now?

Complete waste of time that would better be spent packing a U-Haul to leave.

Rome eventually recovered, but it took the loss of 99% of its population and more than 1000 years.

To a degree, I would fully agree with your post, but would add that the reason Democrat policies are so destructive is, as observed by Thomas Sowell, that Democrat politicians do not have to live with or under the ramifications of their policies.

They are completely divorced from them and never have to feel the actual effects of them.

Easy solution for SF long term—the next time “the big one” hits just leave the rubble where it is.
