What caused this?
I always known SF to be fukked up the past few years but I never looked into what caused it.
Pandemic caused the bulk of San Frans high/middle income earners to work from home. When the emergency was over most still decided to stay home due to not wanting the commute and home prices. Which makes 100% sense.

Without the high earning residents, downtown became a magnet for homeless and property crime. More homelessness and crime leads to less people wanting to deal with it which leads to less businesses and jobs. The cycle feeds on itself, its called a Doom Loop

I hate the ‘libtard’ label the right white folks started but democrats on the west coast have lost their minds. They enable this activity and none of the politicians actually live or have to deal with it.

In Portland they were about to use tax payer money for a free aluminum foil giveaway so that these people can have it to use fentanyl :gucci:

It past until it hit the national news and people were like :what: and they paused it. SF is 10x worse

Oregon county pauses plan to distribute tin foil, straws for fentanyl users

SF and cities in the northwest have gone too far into the freedom/chaos direction. There are no moderating political forces to maybe move these politicians back towards the middle. People don't want absolute order and control on their lives but they don't want to live in a society completely without it either.

I think we overincarcerate (too much order) but I wouldn't argue that we should get rid of jails completely (no order/absolute freedom) because there are some people who should be in jail. It's not absurd to question if a lot of the politicians in these areas would try to get rid of prisons if they felt the environment was right for it :yeshrug:

Decriminalization/lessening of charges of drugs via Proposition 47....


This is what people thought would lead to less problems in our society.

:francis:
these smaller european countries just don't apply to what our larger government is willing to do here in the US.

it's sad but we've got to deal with the reality that it just doesn't make the truly rich people in our country rich to deal with mental health and drug problems the average citizen deals with.

referencing what Sweden or various small EU countries do to deal with their crime or hard drug use problem with their homogenous small population comparatively to the US doesn't move the needle on what we need to do to get a hold on this as a country with 350 million+ people of varying ethnicity that get or dont get the proper care regarding all this stuff
