Somebody (any guesses?) gave London Breed a pep talk. San Francisco Mayor CRACKS DOWN On Crime, REVERSES Defund The Police Budget Cuts
San Fransisco Mayor London Breed sounds like she had just had a conversation with Dirty Harry. “It’s time the reign of criminals who are destroying our city, it is time for it to come to an end,” she declared. “And it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement. More aggressive with the changes in our policies and less tolerant of all the bulls*** that has destroyed our city.”
The last Republican mayor of San Francisco left office in 1964.
Maybe she’s “feeling lucky,” but Breed said she would be putting forward a plan to provide more funding for police for more overtime and the hiring of additional officers. She also recommended changes to the city’s laws that have made it more difficult for police to respond to criminals. Laws like the one passed by the Board of Supervisors in 2019 that forbids officers from accessing live closed camera feeds during emergencies. She criticized the law by stating, “Where there were multiple robbery crews hitting multiple stores, [officers] couldn’t even access those cameras, which is ridiculous.”
Last year, San Francisco Mayor London Breed publicly vowed to "fundamentally change the nature of policing in San Francisco" by way of "ending the use of police in response to non-criminal activity; addressing police bias and strengthening accountability; demilitarizing the police; and promoting economic justice."
That's quite a reversal in tone. Last year she said the San Francisco Police Department had "significant work to do," and now she's calling for the city to be "more aggressive with law enforcement." That's a level of flip-flopping you usually only see in big-budget movies!
Are they really waking up, or just spouting more empty bullshit as usual?
On the East Coast it was a common scam of the government to intentionally let a neighborhood go to hell in order to reduce real estate prices and they would do this over decades. Property prices would decrease, only the poor would move in (or slumlords) and then they would buy up the property on the cheap.

Mayor Alioto used to do this with specific neighborhoods in San Francisco, they say.

Last year Nancy Pelosi refused to condemn rioters and now she's baffled—baffled, I tell you!—at the "attitude of lawlessness" around the country 🤔

But people are inherently dumb so they will vote in the same chiflados!

The politician is not the chiflado, the chiflado would be the voter. I would love to see "chiflado" become a borrow word to mean "idiot voter."

Many of the problems stemmed from Covid-19. California’s prisons, jails and homeless shelters were under orders to reduce their occupancy. But none of these problems started with the pandemic. Between 2008 and 2019, about 18,000 companies, including Toyota, Charles Schwab and Hewlett-Packard, fled California due to a constellation of problems sometimes summarized as “poor business climate.” California has the highest income tax, highest gasoline tax and highest sales tax in the United States, spends significantly more than other states on homelessness, and yet has worse outcomes.
Though I have been a progressive and Democrat all of my adult life, I found myself asking a question that sounded rather conservative. What were we getting for our high taxes? Why, after twenty years of voting for ballot initiatives promising to address drug addiction, mental illness and homelessness, had all three gotten worse? And why had progressive Democratic elected officials stopped enforcing many laws against certain groups of people, from unhoused people suffering mental illness and drug addiction in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle, to heavily armed and mostly white anarchists in Seattle, Portland and Minneapolis? ...
Many of the people who enjoy some of the highest levels of prosperity and freedom in human history are also the least grateful, and least loyal, to the civilization that made it possible. The progressive obsession with changing the names of schools and tearing down statues of people allegedly guilty of genocide in the past comes at a time when our greatest global rival is actually guilty of committing one in the present.
I am still not sure if Trump was a willing actor or not.
