Yep, this is my attitude regarding their self made problem. I loved going to SF in the late 60's and early 70's. It was a fun and vibrant city at the time. You couldn't pay me to go now.

Elected by the slimmest margin in modern history, London Breed takes the helm of a city Wednesday where, despite a booming economy and rocketing job growth, the majority of voters feel San Francisco is on the wrong track.

And where, despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent on various programs to house the homeless, clean up the city’s streets and clear up the clogged traffic, only 2 out of 10 voters feel City Hall is doing a good job managing its resources.

“You would think with 2.5 percent unemployment and an $11 billion budget, the public would be more upbeat,” said Chamber of Commerce Vice President Jim Lazarus. “But the encampments, dirty streets, congestion and construction have the public upset.”

Topping the list of voter frustrations is homelessness, with 68 percent citing it as the city’s No. 1 problem, followed by the high cost of living, at 50 percent, and lack of affordable housing at 47 percent.

Mayor-elect Breed is well aware the voters want action — the question will be, is it business as usual or can she make a difference?

I stopped reading when I got to the part where it said she supports "safe injection sites." The solution won't come from this woman.

I liked the part where:

“You would think ... the public would be more upbeat"

“But the encampments, dirty streets, congestion and construction have the public upset.”

The new mayor is shocked...SHOCKED I SAY...At the amount of feces in her city.

"There's more feces than I've ever seen"

WTH. I live in a normal city. I've never seen ANY feces. How much is she used to seeing and how much is an acceptable amount?

You are correct sir.

She will fail and the problem will get worse.

But lots of tax money will flow into 'non profit organizations : 'housing coalitions', 'homeless awareness groups' etc you can bet on that.

It came about by the slow, steady normalization / decriminalization of drugs and homelessness.

Took years but it is fully entrenched.

Growing up I visited family who lived in a big city, in apartments - not in the worst part of town, but certainly not in the best either.

We'd walk their dogs and the only time you see feces was from the occasional dog owner who forgot a bag, but even then it was rare and other people would call them out on the spot or offer them a spare bag to pick it up.

SF is lost to the slow grind of socialism.

This just demonstrates how people will rise or fall to the standards expected of them.

Just like children and animals.

Set standards, enforce them, and it becomes the norm.

Let them run wild and that becomes the norm and any semblance of standards 'oppressive'.

Pretty much. The last time I was in SF, crazy, whacko, out of control bums were in the mainstream areas and people walking by hardly batted an eye. In any other city, police would have been called.

And likely watches CNN and MSNBC, so she's not counting unneutered male bovine feces.

Reference this thread and the one about California Dems trying to replace Sen. Feinstein with someone further left (unbuhleevabul). California members are often bothered by comments of those of us in the West about California migration. Two perfect illustrations of the issue.

Libtards would only EVER admit there was any flaw in their reasoning when it began to interfere with their breathing. Up to their necks wouldn't be quite bad enough.
