San Francisco is a sanctuary city. Tell the federal government that their immigration laws are null and void. The the city wants the federal government to come in with money to help with the illegal alien drug dealers

Pass the cost on to working Americans, aka conservatives and independents.

Democrats screw up their cities and states and expect all of us to pick up the tab to clean them up.

Maybe San Francisco should swear in the drug addicts and illegal aliens as police officers. It would be a win-win all the way around.

Except for the working class, of course. You know, that poor lady waiting at the bus stop to go to her low-paying job. She’ll be even worse off. But nobody cares about her. She’s just not glamorous enough.

I suspect he just wants us to pay for the failed policies without any changes to actually make things better.

SF, you caused this problem with your stupidity. Now its your responsibility to clean it up.

In the end, however, expect the US taxpayer to get stuck with the bill.

As I recall they set up hundreds of “homeless” (or “houseless” aka derelicts, in ritzy hotels.
They got full room service including deliveries of narcotics to their fancy rooms.

Why?

Since the mission was to get unsightly tents, grocery carts, plastic garbage bags of belongings and hypodermic needles off the sidewalks so tourists and rich people wouldn’t be offended, the people went to hotels.

But if they would go downstairs to the sidewalks again every few hours to score drugs from dealers then the whole thing wouldn’t work. Thus the delivery of drugs to the rooms.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this month to approve draft reparation plans to compensate the city’s qualified Black residents for slavery.

Some of the more than 100 recommendations included in the plans include an assured annual income for eligible residents of $97,000 for 250 years, the voiding of personal debt and taxes and the purchase of homes within the city for $1.

The lump sum payment of $5 million to every qualified Black adult resident was the most significant proposal included.

The city’s plan represents the most specific proposals to date among those advocating for reparations for slavery.

Mayor Breed, first thing you need to do is tell the Reparations Yard Dogz that their pie in the sky $9. Million Dollar Jackpot is to be, at best, ‘put on hold’ until you get the dopers safely corraled and/ or exported to Portland Oregon. What say you?
