Why is San Francisco off limits? Too afraid to address the criticism that you have to try to disqualify everyone?

It's not, just curious how few threads we get from the "great defenders" about stuff like this but we get dozens of SF threads...

I guess you'll have to point out who is / where someone is defending McCurtain County then going after San Francisco, seems too close to whataboutism.

Regardless, policy and political objectives should be scrutinized when safety for people and business is in question.

So what "brilliant" solutions is MAGA proposing? Millions for drug treatment and housing for the homeless?

Yup, must be a new lefty tactic, and a pathetic one.

Answer my question.

Awww.. Come on... Did you bail and run or are you fighting for drug treatment and housing for the homeless? Chipping in a little extra to the state coffers to put your money where your mouth is?

Hmm… do you live in Ukraine? Europe? Why are you so concerned about Ukraine (that you even changed your avatar)? ;)

LOL... Ukraine is one of the best investments in defense we have made in DECADES.... Certainly better than the BILLIONS pissed away in Iraq and Afghanistan...

You may want to go ask a MAGA Republican, and no matter what answer you get out of them it will not remove the mess going on over in SF.

I get it, the nature of left vs. right these days is to ignore an issue by trying to qualify everyone but so far several in this thread are failing miserably at trying to move the conversation away from what SF clearly did to themselves.

San Francisco business owners and residents decry drug, crime crisis: ‘Zombie apocalypse,’ ‘dystopia’

One resident, Seema Gokhale, who lives near the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco and has been the city for almost a decade, described life there as “post-apocalyptic.”

The waste of human life is just appalling.

Who is ignoring the issue? SF and companies in SF are spending millions to address the problem. So tell us, what is YOUR solution (other than bitching)?

Your (initial and lame) point seemed to have been that folks commenting on a situation someplace other than where they (currently?) lived was inappropriate, yet you seem to find it acceptable to comment about the situation in foreign countries.

How is that working out for SF?

www.yahoo.com

Store closures are hitting San Francisco as office vacancies and fears of crime are on the rise. Here's the full list of retailers pulling out of the city's downtown neighborhood.

Old Navy is the latest retailer to leave downtown San Francisco as reports of crime, drug use, and other dangers cause safety concerns.

While all progress requires change, not all changes result in progress.

I don't have a good solution. I have a least bad solution. I think we need to return to institutionalizing the mentally ill.

Simply doing more and more of what obviously isn’t solving the problem is insane.

No matter how many times I saw this board, its still too short. ;)
 
Not just SF but all cities with a large homeless population have this problems especially those on the west coast like Seattle, Portland, and Los Angles. Drugs fuel the homeless crises and liberal solutions are ineffective in combating the problem.
