They need to be tough on crime and clean up the homeless

10 out of 10 criminals voted SF as best city to live in

The politicians definitely have destroyed this beautiful city. It's so sad!

[pokerpariah]

The pandemic had little to do with how San Francisco stands today. The issues are the local and state politicians are their policies. Additionally the residents who live there refusing to vote conservative to implement laws with common sense. Where else do you find law abiding citizens who work hard and pay taxes have less rights than criminals and homeless drug addicts?

[ANTITRINITARIAN]

California and cities like san francisco keep voting for this idiocy. Soft on crime policies are destroying this kind of city.

[Bnbguy]

Crime and corruption are Gavin’s legacy.

I live in Detroit and we are rebuilding with leaders who give a shit. This makes me so sad, San Francisco is such a beautiful city! They need to get some sane people in office!

[NikkiRowCoxx]

Soft on crime is what makes it difficult for tourists to visit & workers to want & come.

[michaelsomething]

All those city council members ran the city to the ground.

Union Square was once the top 5 retail hub in the U.S. Now it's empty.

I was a libertarian before, the “I support your freedom to use drugs” kind. I’m not anymore. Drugs kills a community. Drugs, homelessness, crime, and mental health issues go hand in hand.

[maylani]

The cost of living needs to come down. Crime and homelessness need to be addressed. All that unaccounted money wasted on “resolving” the homeless and drug issue. Clean up the political corruption.

The other day, the old guy who paid for $1 for regular coffee, pour the $2 premium coffee in his cup in the seven eleven store get arrested in Japan. No joke. Another universe. I tell the Japanese people about the situation in SF, and they don’t believe me.

The vast majority of vacated retail spaces will never fill up again. Too many factors working against retail.

Just returned from aSan Fran business trip. I’m traumatized. It’s beyond horrific.

[NomadSoloTravel]

I'm from San Francisco too and it is Insane what SF has become!! Thank you for covering this!!

I lived in SF from 1987 to 1996. The tenderloin was already a place for homeless, and relatively unsafe. When did tenderloins a bustling nightlife area with restaurants and hotels?

[darrellwhitman]

I'm a native San Franciscan who's left and returned four times over the last 50 years. I always thought of myself as first a San Franciscan. But when I left in 2015 I realized it isn't just a San Francisco problem, but a California problem and by extension a U.S. problem. There are deep roots to this problem that no one wants to talk about: collapse of the educational system, rampant corruption, and the atomization of life. Sadly, the worst is yet to come as the national decay catches up to the urban decay. It's very, very sad, but delusions would fix the actual problems.

[GnomesRox]

Look, we can all call it as it is, but I blurted out with a laugh when you said the Tenderloin was a vibrant place. It's always been sketchy, and unfortunately still is. Have no idea why you're trying to put some revisionist spin.

Punishment for crimes!
When you are not safe, you have nothing!
People don't go there to take a chance to get robbed.
Safety safety and safety.
