A couple small reasons for optimism:

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin Recalled by Voters

The rejection of the reform-minded D.A. Chesa Boudin is a blow to the progressive prosecutors movement as crime climbs across the U.S.

There use to be a righty on these forums that bragged about dining from dollar menus and how tasty it was. Supersize me? No thanks.

Oh LA. I wonder what red areas do about homelessness and crime?

More blue than red (I don't care where the solutions come from), Houston is often heralded as the benchmark for addressing the homeless crisis which has cut homelessness in half. You'd have to Google for specifics but my understanding they've done it with a ban on camping and public/private partnerships with good data and a precise plan.

I have family there. They might be doing well controlling the homeless on the street but they aren’t doing so well against crime.

Interesting but not compelling. I'm more of a big picture guy and I also think you have to look at policies and potential causation and not party color and correlation.

As far as Houston goes the county DA is another Soros funded DA like Boudin and Gascon so maybe that's a connection to Houston's crime problem.

You give Soros far more credit than he has earned.

Parse it however you like to get the desired outcome. Of Forbes 10 most dangerous cities, all 10 are run by Democrat mayors, whereas its safest cities there are a number of Republican mayors. Again its not the color of the party its the nature of the policies.

I don't see how this has anything to do with Joe Biden. Maybe you should have posted it in the vaccine thread since that one seems to be acting as the dumpster for miscellaneous posts lately.

I don’t blame them. The Legacy stadium is amazing.

At some point San Francisco has to admit it has a drug problem. I've heard statistics from various organizations that the issue isn't predominately drugs, but mental health. I'm not buying it. They should go after the drug dealers and punish them without compassion. I haven't lived in SF for over 20 years, but have worked there quite a bit. It has been a shit show for as long as I can remember. I've seen things nobody should have to see. It was like this in the 90s as well.

My daughter moved from there (SF, Park Merced area) to Osaka Japan, couldn’t be a more drastic difference. Lots of nice places in ‘murica but I haven’t seen a bad place in Japan with the exception of the Fukushima area for obvious reasons.
