I'm long gone from the Bay Area and don't care what happens to it. But Detroit has average Jan. temps of 32F day and 20F at night vs 58F and 47F for San Fransicko. That might slow down the transition.
wasted read by the ny post. they never mentioned how much property taxes the city will lose and how much income tax the state will lose and how many mom-and-pop stores will lose when the employees no longer go to restaurants, dry cleaning, shopping in local stores, etc.
Exactly. They might not miss him, but they’re going to miss collecting taxes from him.
“a new law enacted by the state of California that prohibits schools from notifying parents if their children want to change their gender identity.”
California has reached a point that words don’t describe their evil.
What kind of dummy officials celebrate losing a major business and taxpayer?
I hope a hard rain continues to fall on SF.
When the San Andreas fault rips apart - and it will - there will be many empty buildings and freeways collapsing on each other. So it goes.
Austin sucks, but you’re not far from the Hill Country. It’s only 30 miles west to Driftwood, home of Fall Creek Vineyards, La Trattoria Licina, and Salt Lick Barbecue.
They say good riddance to a paying citizen and his massive business? This isn’t normal politics, folks.
Maybe they can chase all the businesses out of San Francisco. That’ll show them.
When was the last time you were there?
I missed the flair in the video but all it told me is that Union Square is not the place to go shopping. I didn’t notice the homeless and feces everywhere or the drug addicts shooting up on the sidewalks that I’m always hearing about from people who never go there.
Breaks my heart. Just puts a knife in it.
This is what Leftism does via the Democrat Party. Deliberately. They want it destroyed.
If I were Trump, I would use this footage to make a campaign ad:
NARRATOR: This is Union Square, in the heart of San Francisco. It was once the biggest center of commercial activity in the city. It was vibrant and busy, restaurants were full, the streets were crowded and tourists came here from all over the world. But look at it now. Under Democrat control for decades, it became a one-party city, and it is because of that we see this depressing scene. Retailers have vacated the city, businesses have gone under or moved, and it is all because of the policies of people like Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi.
Marxist victims don’t beg. They demand.
Many here think that Leftist Socialist Progs give a damn about tax revenues. They don’t, except when it impacts their skim.
Otherwise they will demand that the State of California and ultimately the UnitedStates fund their profligacy.
Yeah. The disappearance of all those businesses, restaurants, retailers, and tourist destinations is one gigantic coincidence.
Those departing businesses just read all the stories from people hostile to the likes of Kamala Harris, London Breed, Nancy Pelosi and every other execrable POS who decided to implement laws that encourage crime and crush commerce and decided to leave.
Well, they still have the cable cars there, even though they are lined up seven deep and there is barely anyone to ride on them. But given that the city runs the cable cars, they can run at a loss for decades more as window dressing to try to lure people to that giant slum. After all, mass transit systems, no matter how sparsely used, continue to be the wet dream of Leftists everywhere.
