Decriminalize theft. Defund the police. Catch and release criminals. No cash bail.
Everything they touch turns to crap.

Open letter in San Francisco Chronicle from leadership of Gumps Department Store, saying this year may be their last in the city.
An Open Letter to Governor Newsom, Mayor Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors:
Gump’s has been a San Francisco icon for more than 165 years. Today, as we prepare for our 166th holiday season at 250 Post Street, we fear this may be our last because of the profound erosion of this city’s current conditions.
San Francisco now suffers from a “tyranny of the minority” behavior and actions of the few that jeopardize the livelihood of the many.
The ramifications of COVID policies advising people to abandon their offices are only beginning to be understood. Equally devastating have been a litany of destructive San Francisco strategies, including allowing the homeless to occupy our sidewalks, to openly distribute and use illegal drugs, to harass the public and to defile the city’s streets. Such abject disregard for civilized conduct makes San Francisco unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors from around the world.
San Franciscans deserve better than the current condition of our city. Gump’s implores the Governor, the Mayor, and the City Supervisors to take immediate actions, including cleaning the city streets, removing homeless encampments, enforcement of city and state ordinances, and returning San Francisco to its rightful place as one of America’s shining beacons of urban society.
As San Franciscans, we will continue to support the compassionate efforts of helping those in need. But we believe failed public policies must be abandoned and a renewed focus must be brought to restore the city we all love.
John Chachas
Chairman

An L.A. hotel became homeless housing. The city paid $11.5 million to cover the damage
[link=https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-08-16/mayfair-hotel-was-beset-by-problems-when-it-was-homeless-housing]https://www.latimes.com/c…t-was-homeless-housing[/link]
California spent $20 billion on homelessness, only to see the situation get much worse. One Newsom initiative, “Project Roomkey,” aimed to magically solve the problem by putting the homeless in hotels.
This didn’t lead to permanent housing, but it did wreck havoc on the hotels and surrounding areas. The Mayfield in LA suffered $11.5 million in damage, paid for by taxpayers on top of the cost of the program.
Among the damages: “two broken windows, a broken television and a broken granite countertop” (Room 406); spray-painted shower curtain and carpet (Room 504); “smeared feces around a doorway” (Room 801).
The LA Times described items like vases being hurled from windows, and scenes of “open-air drug use, discarded hypodermic needles, antisocial behavior and criminal activity.”
Janna Haynes, spokesperson for Sacramento County, said: Project Roomkey is incredibly expensive and not the best use of funds for the unhoused,” costing “$4,000 a month to stick someone in a hotel room and give them three meals a day.”
This is why I proposed an audit of all homelessness spending in California. Newsom intervened to kill the audit the first time, but it was recently approved. We’ll get results in the coming months.

Wonder why theres homelessness and crime in cities where the wealthiest make more money rifling a fart into a chair in the first minute of the day then a blue collar janitor.

Thats a great point regarding the result of progressive politics in major cities with how they deal with the problem of the homelessness

Ah yes. Progressive policies are what resulted in massive inequality in the USA and expnentially in places like San Fran.
I’ll see myself out.-

Progressive New York City mayor Eric Adams at his wits end with illegal immigrants in the city. I thought such sanctuary cities were proud and excited to accept these illegal immigrants to our country? If this were a republican mayor, he would be labeled a racist.

yeha but progressives dont care about this anymore – all of their effort is going into social justice issues which were already won by people with real courage decades ago
