The Streets of San Francisco

[Syriusly]

Remember the old TV series? Well, it was nothing like this! People are complaining by used syringes in the streets and fountains, No link as, like many sources, they want $$$ to read their content. Soon coming to an online magazine or newspaper near to you.

As a long time resident of San Francisco- never once seen a used syringe on the street, in a fountain.

Are used syringes found? I am sure that it must happen- as it does in every City- except those with syringe exchanges.

We have plenty of problems in San Francisco- one of the biggest at the moment is that just far, far more people want to live here than we have room for.

Because San Francisco is such a terrible place.......

Gotta be rich to live there, housing prices alone are beyond belief.

Hell I am rich and I didn't even know it!

Pro-Crime Policies Have Made San Francisco a Dangerous Place

While Obama and his leftist allies insist that we're so safe now that we can free all the criminals, San Francisco's street level examples appears to tell a very different story.

...

Any neighborhood can become high crime without aggressive law enforcement intervention in a big city. That's the lesson of the 70s that everyone just decided to forget.

...

Criminals aren't the downtrodden. Their victims are. This kind of distortion of language is typical of the left's spin when it comes to crime.

The guy robbing a person on the street isn't downtrodden. His victim who is lying on the ground, literally is downtrodden.

...

Here's to Number 3.

On Wednesday, another car was broken into below her window. A woman who was dropping off her daughter at a day care center had parked for 10 minutes and returned to find her window smashed and her purse gone.

“It’s just insane,” Ms. Calson said. “On and on and on it goes.”

This is what having pro-crime policies does.

Thanks for the opportunity to post more of the article...

From her apartment at the foot of the celebrated zigzags of Lombard Street, Judith Calson has twice peered out her window as thieves smashed their way into cars and snatched whatever they could. She has seen foreign tourists cry after cash and passports were stolen. She shudders when she recounts the story of the Thai tourist who was shot because he resisted thieves taking his camera.

And that is her tally from the last year alone.

“I never thought of this area as a high-crime neighborhood,” Ms. Calson, a retired photographer, said of this leafy part of the city, where tourists flock to view the steeply sloped, crooked street adorned with flower beds.

...

Recent data from the F.B.I. show that San Francisco has the highest per-capita property crime rate of the nation’s top 50 cities. About half the cases here are thefts from vehicles, smash-and-grabs that scatter glittering broken glass onto the sidewalks.

The city, known for a political tradition of empathy for the downtrodden, is now divided over whether to respond with more muscular law enforcement or stick to its forgiving attitudes.

...

At TLC Glass, a repair shop on the edge of San Francisco’s business district, the more prosaic consequences of the rise in car break-ins are on display. Customers regularly file in to repair car windows that have been smashed by thieves.

“Every day we are full,” the shop’s owner, Louie Chen, said. One customer came in four times in six weeks.

A customer who came to have a broken window fixed, Dan Edmonds-Waters, showed San Franciscan forgiveness. He said he felt sorry for whoever broke a window of his limited-edition BMW twice, stealing his gym bag both times.
