To be honest, during the Alioto/Moscone/Feinestein era....1968 to 1988...they fine-tuned the voting system and figured out how to ‘find’ another 10-to-15 percent of the vote.

Don’t forget that the People’s Temple crowd was a critical part of the Moscone machine and they repeated that success after the crowd left for Jonestown. I would take a guess that a minimum of 10-percent of the voters are either dead, or non-US citizens, or just bogus-non-existent people.

But when you look at anger and frustration, it’s a surprising number in the past two years who are fed up. But I don’t see how rotating the Democratic crowd out will really come to fix much. Housing is permanently screwed up....homeless people would have to be marched out of town....and you’d have to fix the budget problem (totally impossible).

homeless people would have to be marched out of town

It is absolutely amazing how easy it is to solve "impossible problems".

I remember one day when every single homeless person in the city disappeared in Hartford CT.

You see, POTUS was visiting (Clinton at the time) and the local Democrat pols decided they didn't want him stepping over and being panhandled by the local homeless.

I have no idea where the homeless went--but they just disappeared.

Rudy managed to do it in NYC. But it takes a really fed up population that has had enough. I’m not sure SF is there yet. It hasn’t quite hit bottom.
