I visited San Francisco in the late 80's. I thought it had way too many homeless folks not being taken care of then. When I visited again a couple of years ago, it was much worse. Poop on the streets all over the place and much more homelessness. The city looks beautiful from the outside. Inside? Not so much. If nothing changes, I won't go back. Too sad to see. |

I am all for fully prosecuting anyone who steals. Including her. The ex-boyfriend? I wouldn't take his word for gospel. Exes aren't always kind to the ex. Of course, if the can corroborate that part, charger her with it, too. I have no problem with all involved with the crimes committed on 1/6 being prosecuted. I do have some problems with how they are being treated compared to other accused folks and with the mass of arrest of people who did not do anything other than walk in. Still, prosecute the ones who actually did things beyond walking in. |

The point is that, if someone is going to cite an article, then that person should provide a link. It's just common g**d**n courtesy. lol "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I found the actual Chronicle article. The focus is mainly on people breaking into garages to steal bicycles and E-Bikes, but the question itself is being asked without hyperbole: https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bike-burglaries-crime-castro-16593795.php "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want."

San Francisco has descended into a place with rampant theft and homelessness. That doesn't take away from the beauty of the place overall; just my desire to go back there. We had a fantastic tour there in a Mini Cooper, which was a lot of fun. The more leftist policies allow crime to run rampant and do little to keep the place safe and clean, the less desire I have to go to a particular city. They'll come around at some point and decide crime is a bad thing and then start cleaning up the place and making it great to visit again. I want to go back...just not right now. |

Traveling all over the country seeing everything for myself I've seen more homelessness in other cities I observed no crime issues No doubt it exists But I felt fine walking all over the city unarmed Never scared Felt safe I know where not to walk such as SE DC would be a scary place to walk. Where I walked in Frisco, and I do a lot of walking, felt safe Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |
