You know what I got? A sunny, clean neighborhood with families. I have no idea why the right keeps lying! They’re big fat liars who hate poor people.

How many more companies and stores need to leave until officials there start to clean up the city???? Shame on the voters for electing these fools.

What do you care? You clearly don't live there. And California is a wealthy economy rather than one of those rural, shit hole states that do nothing buy take (WAY more than they give) from the taxpayers CONSTANTLY.

If nobody wants to live there anymore how come real estate is still $$$$$$$?When people did not want to live in Detroit anymore you could buy homes for $2000.

I think there is a lot of wealthy foreign & wealthy tech owners. Neither group is affected that much.

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.

Why do you care if you don't live there? I seriously don't care about the rural hellhole that most of the Republicans live in. You should do the same.

"the rural hellhole that most republicans live in" -- care to clarify with specifics this statement. Seems the cities where most Democrats/Liberals live fit this description.
