"An exodus of work-from-home residents and taxpayers, coupled with a rise in crime, outdoor drug abuse, and homelessness, also chased away retail businesses.

Despite these challenges, San Francisco leaders were considering reparations...in the range of $5 million."

Good. Let this go nationwide.

San Francisco has far more pressing problems to deal with than giving $5 million to blacks for reparations.

Oh boy, I bet so many of them (suckers) were banking on that coming that this is going to cause some civil unrest.

California was a free state. So why would they have to pay the descendents of slaves anything?

Zero funded and zero paid out? Perfect score.

The $4 million that would go toward creating the reparations office is a small but notable aspect of a budget agreement reached overnight Thursday governing about $14.6 billion in expected annual city spending over the next two fiscal years.

Eventually there must be a collapse of the real estate market in SF and California in general

As the Leftist political class systematically destroy the quality of life in CA the flood of refugees will turn in to torrent and people will rush to unload their homes and businesses, prices will plummet.

Get out now while you can.

But there is a bright spot to this.

As people make the mad rush for the door, tax revenue will fall and Social Services will be bankrupt the state.

On a side note make sure you get out of CA bonds now.

Blacks get suckered for their votes again. Rinse. Repeat.

Folks in San Francisco should demand reparations for the closing of the Office of Reparations.

And notice that I didn’t just say “black folks” there. When you think about it, all of us are victims, one way or another. We all deserve reparations.

It’s time to put the “reparations” clown show to bed. It was a moronic idea to begin with. They got their “reparations” when the jackass in the White House paid off their “student loans”.

When citizens can’t vote at the ballot box they vote with their feet. California is a failed state supported by the predatory federal government.
