40% Of San Francisco Residents Planning To Leave Deteriorating City

They will take the very policies that created the situation with them to their new homes, and then look on cluelessly as the same thing happens again.

Everything Democrats touch turns to feces.

San Fran is run entirely by the democrat party.

Trump has nothing to do with it..........

But at least the local government is doing things that make a real difference in peoples lives.

San Fran is a cool city, near a lot of great outdoor activities with awesome food but the homelessness problem combined with the insane cost of living is just out of control. When I went for my morning runs there while on vacation a couple years back I couldn’t go a block without seeing a group of homeless people on a stoop or just blocking the sidewalks , and I was in nice expensive areas. While walking around people homeless people were just constantly asking me for money.

Fun city to visit for a few days but I’m not sure I would want to live there full time

Well at least they’re putting their energies into the things that matter.

SF was a world class city.

Not living there but frequenting over the years, I have witnessed it’s deterioration over the past 20 years. Very very sad and to the point a few years ago my wife and I said we don’t feel comfortable or safe there. Haven’t stepped foot in SF since 2017.

It all falls on leadership at the local level through to the state level. Leadership is voted in so ultimately it’s the populations fault.

One just has to look at and read about what the priorities city council has. From that… quickly one realizes the direction the city continually heads.

These officials will make bad decisions year in and year out with no accountability. At the end of their working time they will collect their pension and move on. The citizenry that remain have to pay for the mistakes. That is the real San Andreas Fault in California (poor leadership for the past two decades leads to poor outcomes and eventually it all come tumbling down).

yeah i think all of the san francisco liberals are clamoring to live in des moines or shreveport or rural georgia

it amazes me how stupid conservatives can be

regardless of how bad you might think sf has gotten the us would be an absolute third-world country without the liberal cities you point to as failures

think of how many loser, redneck methy states are the reddest of the red -- now compose an entire country of them, without the blue states subsidizing their complete lack of production

If Republicans took over the governing of S.F., what would be their solution to the homeless problem?

Exactly, and how many of the homeless people in SF are actually from SF? If SF and other big west coast cities started clearing out homeless encampments where would those people go? Would they just move to cheaper locations and rent apartments?

"the blue states subsidizing their complete lack of production"

REALITY

California, with 12% of the American population, is home today to about 34% of the nation’s welfare recipients.

"If Republicans took over the governing of S.F., what would be their solution to the homeless problem?"

1. Prosecute Petty Crime

2. Don't allow homeless tents where people do business

3. Enforce existing laws regarding vagrancy and loitering

4. Stop funding the homelessness problem

(Those cities with the MOST homeless funding have the most homelessness)

I think the rational play for a homeless unemployed person would be to try to find their way to a city like SF with moderate weather year-round and a supportive environment/culture/laws.

They are taking care of the mess for a lot of other places.

There isn't enough room in jails for all these arrests and they certainly can't pay fines. What is the purpose of the funding and is it the reason behind the large homeless population? What happens if the funding is eliminated? I doubt if people in residential areas want tents in their neighbors either.

Mental gymnastics of a leftist are humorous. Lol

Leftists are like teenagers. Comical.

The homeless are transient. The idea isn't to put them all in jail. The idea is to make conditions such that they prefer a different city.

San Francisco has a lot of homeless people because it is a good place to be homeless, so homeless people from all over go there. Make SF a bad place to be homeless and they'll go somewhere else.

A start would be a return to institutions for the dysfunctional mentally ill and almshouses.
