Despite the clearly conservative leanings of this article (and I consider myself a moderate liberal) on this issue I whole-heartedly agree. I live in San Francisco, and to be quite honest the city is a disgrace. At what point do we draw the line between “let’s not lock people up for stupid reasons” and “literally anything goes whatsoever”. This city’s well-intentioned voters and government have created a monster. The city is disgusting. I would not advise anyone to visit. Recently some out of town friends visited and were horrified. They were accosted multiple times by homeless people. The trash, drug use and general squalor has gone completely overboard. And what’s the response? More services, more spending, more drug programs. And it’s just getting worse! I pay a massive premium to live here, but next year I’m moving out of the city.
It’s really sad to see so many people desperate and poor, but we essentially told them to come here, that we would pay for services for them and also, feel free to commit any crimes you want. Ridiculous.
