[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully Allen starts paying attention to the sea change in San Francisco and eases off the criminal coddling.  I have heard zero peeps out of any potential contenders.  I would love to support someone willing to run against him.  [/quote]

Well you all are aware that you can vote for moderate democrats and not progressives right? That would solve the problem right off the bat. [/quote]

Just the person you are quoting but yes, I am aware, we are begging them to run so we can not just vote for them but volunteer for and contribute to their campaigns.  I would vote for a non Trumpy R at this point for Ward 6.  Their federal ideas would not be to my liking but they don’t have federal power.  I may have voted for the R over Allen last time for that reason, maybe not, I can’t remember, but I definitely considered it.  I just want to be able to go for a walk without worrying about getting jumped.  I still go for walks but my head is on a swivel and I check the whole block before I get in my car or out of it to see who is around.  We upped our car insurance so we’d be covered for carjackings and hit and run.  It’s not a nice car and previously we didn’t have it.  Tired of it.[/quote]

Give it up, my dudes.

We all know Ward 6 will reliably vote for a soft on crime councilmember like Charles Allen. Look around you. I live here. We are surrounded by virtue signaling neighbors with yard signs, idealism and urbanism in mind. There is no fking way we elect someone tough on crime. Everyone here is Uber smart and moved into a little row house with their two kids because they like all things liberal and progressive. It’s a bunch of policy wonks in a city that voted for Hillary by 96%. We aren’t getting any Larry Hogan or Charlie Baker types anytime soon. Read the New Hill East Facebook group. If you even mention prosecuting criminals you out yourself as an insensitive a-hole who is probably a gentrifier. The whole thing is hilarious.

In a normal place, especially with the socioeconomic levels seen with Hill residents, you’d have a healthy mix of republicans who could buoy the elections. Here it’s just a progressive race to the bottom.[/quote]
