I stopped going to San Francisco it's not worth it 😕

This is symptomatic of the woke attourney generals and judges and prosecutors and incompentent police force. The community should rise up and keep these politicians, DA judge and police accountable

[ThomasOsaki]

after bashing our police for all of society's problems, you don't feel safe out there? why is that?

[robdlc]

Why is this such a surprise to anyone? Anyone who pays attention and is honest, knows this already.

Detroit went from the most prosperous, most successful city in the planet, to "Detroit" in just under 20 years. Wonder if the Bay can beat that impressive time.

It's not a fear of crime. Its the knowledge of exactly what you are doing. Enjoy the Great Pull Out.

[Deimos-Oso]

Sounds like it’s Breed’s cue to throw another fair with jugglers and face painting to fix this.

[Adam-vjdn]

Is it the fear of crimes, or is it the crimes?

San Francisco was my favorite city in the '70's. Now I literally make a U-turn whenever I have to do business there. It's so sad. It is so devoid of any hint of vibrancy once flowing through the city.

[LeonardoDeVinci]

Duh why do they think people are fighting to go back to office in the city?

[propblastnd]

Democrats defund the police didn't age well.

[tyzxcj]

Remember the calls to defund law enforcement and for justice reform? We'll eat your heart out for all those who bought into that.

SEARCH - Recall Mayor London Breed petition

[LaraSierra]

And guess where they're all moving? Placer, El Dorado, and Nevada counties. Where the crime rate is now up!

[apwkastmaster]

Sad but the City is really for the bad guys first. You last.

[cornpop]

Maybe to change the sentiment they can get people to stop pooping in the streets and stabbing each other

[ethanol]

And these same people will keep voting democrat and wonder why things aren't getting better

[alexblazquez]

Hilarious. They voted for it. Now eat it.

[michaeldusso]

Imagine once the summer heat kicks in, coupled with even higher prices, and food shortages !!!

[Elgreasyburrito]

Good this is literally the only way to bring down rent
