What are they complaining about? It was their policies that caused this. It was them voting for unhinged Modern Socialist politicians who enacted the policies that caused this. Suck it up and live with it. Don’t move out of San Francisco, especially since you bring this insanity with you and want to do the same things in new places
San Francisco poll shows 70% of respondents say quality of life on decline: report
A recent poll conducted in San Francisco found that 70% of respondents believe the quality of life in the city has declined and pointed to crime and homelessness as their top concerns.
SFGate.com, citing a City Beat Poll commissioned by the city’s chamber of commerce, reported that the poll was conducted in late May and involved 520 registered voters who live in the city. Roughly 80% of those polled said addressing homelessness is a top priority. About 76% of those polled want more cops in high-crime neighborhoods, the report said.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that there has been a 753% jump in car break-ins at the police department’s central station compared to May 2020, while there were COVID-19 restrictions. The paper said the thefts are up 75% compared to 2019.
“We want our visitors to feel safe and feel they can park safe,” Kevin Carroll, executive director of the Hotel Council of San Francisco, told the paper. “Anything that pulls away from that hurts their experience here. You come to visit this beautiful city and your car is broken into, it leaves a bad impression. We don’t want that to happen.”
Well, when the city tolerates the homeless pooping and peeing in the streets, along with drug use, leaving needles in the street, there’s a problem. A problem big enough for someone to create an interactive poop map, where there is human feces in the streets of San Francisco. The same citizens who mostly enable the homeless problem have yammered for defunding the police, despite rising crime. Car break-ins have long been a problem in SF, along with car thefts. Property crime has been an outsized problem for SF for quite some time, and the violent crime has been rising.
Neighborhood Scout ranks San Francisco as a 2, meaning it is safer than just 2% of US cities. Property crimes are well over double the California and US rates. You have a 1 in 18 chance of being a crime victim. You have a 1 in 145 chance of being a victim of a violent crime, which is above the US and California rates, but, not as high as many similar Democrat run cities. But, yeah, the same folks demonizing the police last year now want more police protecting for the crime the cop haters policies created.
Did you mention the Poop? Although most civilizations mastered the use of indoor plumbing and public sanitation hundreds of years ago, San Francisco seems to be in retrograde.
You just don’t understand! The policies of the left always produce goodness and light, and if there’s leftover poverty and homelessness in the City by the Bay, it’s because the problems of capitalism, racial injustice, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and systemic discrimination have been so intense that the left’s policies just haven’t had enough time, or money, to work!
As of May 2021 housing prices in DanFrancisco still going up with median price over 1.5 million
I think that is a more truthful evaluation than a poll
John,
Remarkable how your brain does not work. Note the concern was quality of life. Housing prices in a communist city reflect nothing, especially with the various laws that keep them inflated. A marker such as you seek is the data from Uhaul. Look that up, last I heard it indicated people moving out.
People were moving out? Sure
But unless people were also moving in housing prices would drop
But they ste continuing to go up which would indicate to me that people still want to live there
And uhaul?? I dont think many people who live in areas where the median price of housing is over 1.5 million move themselves with uhaul, do you?
These people who are moving out do you think they are on the upside or downside of that 1.5 million median?
So you’re saying Cali is now a pool of leftist millionaires but all the working people are leaving? You call that a stable system? All white neighborhoods with rising home prices. That’s your answer? White supremist. You are the quintessential leftist. Fuk the working man, let him move as long as the millionaires get more for their houses.
Hairy doesn’t understand the mechanism of investment in real estate. Thanks to trillions of dollars being transferred from the federal treasury to well connected California democrats, There are lots of hedge funds that are looking for places to park their new cash. Real estate investments are seen as a hedge against inflation and a good long term investment in places like San Francisco that has a habitually high end market. So, yes, prices going up even without residents wanting to move in. Hint: Commercial prices also going up even though occupancy rates are at record lows.
Kye.
Millionaires are abandoning the area too. Pretty much leaving behind the retirees, homeless, and immigrants living three families to a house.
Well, professor all I know is Hairy is claiming nobody is leaving CA yet THE STATE LOST A CONGRESSIONAL SEAT IN THE LAST ELECTION. Riddle me that Hairy.
Plus getting into a back and forth pissing contest with any leftist that pulls data out their ass is stupid. I’m not stupid.
