"Liberal" is a cloak for greed in California, not an actual lived ideal. It's hypocrisy and abandonment of the vulnerable where it really counts.

Really said to see how SF style leadership has destroyed a once beautiful city that is falling into the pits of lawlessness and financial disaster. Mind-blowing how they can keep re-election the same over and over and over again when the results keep getting worse and worse and now and businesses are closing up shop and are fleeing. Why do so many other cities and voters continue to vote for politicians trying to run on a similar model like SF's politicians? It is scary how fast SF has declined.

Well, if you read the article, SF now clearly thinks hiring more cops is going to help. So amazing that now even SF is realizing what a stupid mistake kowtowing to the defund the police crowd was.
Hire more cops.
Make stealing over $100 a felony.
Get rid of all of the tolerance for open drug use.
Get rid of tent cities.
Many more foot patrols by police.
Get rid of lenient judges letting out one man crime waves over and over again.
Why is it that all of the so called progress in SF looks like regression. Stealing, drug use, and violence is now so bad that community members now have lost a highly convenient place to shop for basic necessities like food because stupid voters there keep voting for more of the same, which is pro open drug use and leniency for crime and punishment. The predictable is happening, and now the city's coffers are in serious trouble. It will be hard to enact progress when you have no money.
