re: This is what downtown San Francisco looks like right now

So are they expecting riots? If so, why? Is it because of the looters and thieves? Are
The homeless getting more aggressive?

San Fran has been a shite hole for
So long, it’s hard to know why they’re boarding up.

Wasn't there a saying: America has 3 cities, New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. The rest is Cleveland." Cleveland is looking pretty good right about now.

Looks like they are preparing for a cat 5 hurricane to come through.

You guys piss and moan about Baton Rouge or New Orleans. But we are a long way from the trend of revitalization that swept cities and downtowns across the country 20 years ago. The trends of improvement in those towns are just as dead as they are everywhere else.

Before Covid, I traveled every week for work. Every city that I regularly visit or live in has gotten dirtier and less safe in the past decade. For some reason, the left wing politicians that run these urban centers are extremely weak on crime and have no idea how to handle homeless related issues. They can speak in platitudes for days about getting homeless people treatment or having sympathy for people with drug addiction, but those cities must also ensure that there are consequences for property crime and hard drug use in public spaces.

It's infuriating because it's impacting places that I truly care about. It's one of the reasons we are moving to a much smaller metro area next year - and on the outskirts of one at that.

At least they paint the plywood. It kind of goes well with the aesthetic they have going on.

Welp, their boi Barry, back in 2008, told them they wouldn't recognize their country in a few years. By God a man of his word.. Respeck.

The left is truly the opposite of everything they claim. Socialism is not progress. It is regression to a system that predates capitalism.
Diversity in everything but thought. More tha 2 genders is anti-science. Anyone else see a pattern here?

San Fran deserves every last bit of what it is getting. Continue to vote for the insanity of your DA, Mayor, and local politicians. How can you be surprised?

Enjoy what you vote for clowns
