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.
