This is the key! Published reports show crime is up in blue cities a paltry 10% or 15%, & everyone thinks the GOP is overreacting to the effects of no-cash bail, social justice prosecutors, & other leftist policies. But they are only reporting a FRACTION of the actual crimes. They are trying to downplay how horrible it is so they can claim their policies are a success & should be adopted elsewhere. And that their governor (Newsom) should be your president.
Even in far-left Oakland CA the residents are begging for a return to old-fashioned law enforcement.
Juking the stats! It’s all in The Wire

This might be the most San Francisco story I’ve ever heard in my entire life
A convicted child molester set up a tent across from a SF school offering “free fentanyl for new users”
He has been doing this for 2 years
SFPD Captain Chris Canning: "I was told he is in compliance with all the components of what his sex registration are."

Also, note that he seems to be nodding in agreement with Elon Musk. So I guess California misses it's former position as the undisputed home of tech.
This is a very interesting and welcome development.
Especially when you are going to run for President

In retrospect, refusing to prosecute criminals and tolerating open air drug markets - first for heroin, now for fentanyl - were terrible approaches to urban life. Until that changes, two of the best cities in America are going to continue to spiral. There needs to be a tough on crime approach going forward. And the addicts need to be given a choice. Treatment or jail. But you can't live and use on the sidewalks anymore.
Unfortunately, I don't see anything changing.
