Gunfire erupted between two vehicles careening through San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf area near Pier 39 on Sunday evening, resulting in injury to six people, including four bystanders at the popular tourist destination, Police Chief William Scott said.
The bystanders injured in what Scott called a “car to car” shooting included a 10-year-old girl who was struck by one of the recklessly driven cars as she walked her bike across the street with a 16-year-old companion, the chief told reporters at the scene. Three others were hit by shards of glass that shattered in the gunfire exchange. None of the bystanders had life-threatening injuries, Scott said. The 16-year-old was struck but not injured. ...
Two people in the cars responsible for the gunshots also were wounded, one with life-threatening injuries, Scott said. They were taken to the hospital, as was the 10-year-old girl.
“Gunshots were fired from both vehicles,” Scott said, and police are looking for a white sedan and its occupants, who fled. The other vehicle was a black SUV that was towed from the scene.

... Weber wrote Feb. 9 that, in addition to the concerns raised by Claire’s, “I’m also hearing now from our center team that there were two incidents yesterday where people were held up by knife point at the center for theft.”
When the official government fails, other gangs step in to take its place. Gangs with more integrity than our current government.
Stores from Safeway to Home Depot have been increasingly locking items behind screens to deter shoplifting in the Bay Area and across the country. Customers and staff in San Francisco stores recently described the security measures as irritating, with it taking several minutes to access basic items like toothbrushes or high-value items such as liquor and power tools.
Walgreens manager Chanh Luu said the group entered the Bernal Heights store at around 8 p.m. and began smashing the shelves in two of the store's aisles, where laundry soap and dental products are locked away behind plastic shields due to rampant shoplifting in the city. The shields were torn away so the thieves could get their hands on the items...
This is all legal in CA. Please stop complaining. That's what people voted for.

Granted it takes a little longer to loot, but they are out of there at least 10 minutes before the police arrive.

Everyone knows that San Francisco is the nation's largest public toilet - requiring the city to employ six-figure 'poop patrol' cleanup team, however a new report from the city Controller's Office really puts things in poo-spective.
For starters, feces were found far more often in commercial sectors, covering "approximately 50% of street segments in Key Commercial Areas and 30% in the Citywide survey," second only to broken glass as can be seen in the 'illegal dumping' section. ...
This is all even more heartbreaking, because San Francisco is one of the most naturally beautiful places on Earth. A city on the edge of the Pacific with the bay around it, and the endless waves of fog rolling above. ...
San Francisco has long been a left-leaning city, but this alone wasn't enough to create a policy environment that would lead to the city's downfall. The tipping point towards full-blown insanity in San Francisco's policy environment can be traced back to Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure that reduced penalties for certain nonviolent crimes, including shoplifting.
Proposition 47 changed the law so that stealing items worth less than $950 is now considered a misdemeanor instead of a felony. This means that offenders may receive lower fines, shorter jail sentences, or no jail time at all. Unfortunately, this leniency has led to increased shoplifting, as criminals believe they won't face serious consequences for their actions. In San Francisco, police often don't respond to reports of store robberies and instead, request that the store report the crime online. However, these reports are frequently not followed up on. ...
Proposition 47 essentially legalized small-scale retail crime, paving the way for more serious offenses. The action then shifted to the District Attorney's office for further implementation. ...
Proposition 47 was a clever strategy to attract criminals conducting retail and property crimes to the city and keep those already in the city out of jail. However, more serious criminals were still being locked up pending trial or sentenced to prison terms for serious crimes they had committed. This is where George Soros stepped in with the Open Societies Foundation to change the San Francisco District Attorney.
Soros backed Chesa Boudin, who was elected in 2019. Boudin has an interesting background, as both of his parents were actual terrorists in the Weather Underground Movement. ...
An apt comparison exists between this campaign and vaccination campaigns, in that coordinated propaganda can influence people to support insane measures. ...
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what would be the results of these policy decisions.
Here is one of the results - defaults of commercial real estate and hotels closing and leaving the city...
In other recent developments, California recently passed another law that criminalizes trying to prevent robbery or shoplifting as a “public safety” measure. Let’s guess what effect this will have on retailers who are dumb enough to still maintain presence in this bastion of wokeness.
National retailers such as Nordstrom, Crate & Barrel and H&M have closed San Francisco stores. Tech companies are putting their offices up for sublease; and the city’s commercial real estate, previously among the most valuable in the world, has started selling at huge discounts.

There will be no retail stores in Cali soon. You would have to buy everything online. The shoplifters will have to come to your homes. Hide your kids. Hide your wife.

San Francisco’s plan for housingyoung adultsADDICTS at SoMa site facing backlash
SoMa community organizer Nikki Ahmadi wrote a petition that’s racked up more than 800 signatures from residents who strongly oppose the city’s plan for 1174 Folsom Street.
The petition lists its three main concerns as:
Utilizing $22 million in taxpayer money to house only 42 people in a luxury building.
Needles and pipes will be distributed onsite to residents who are drug users as part of the city’s “harm reduction” policy.
Exposes vulnerable housing project residents to drugs dealers and addicts who already frequent the neighborhood.

City officials blame truancy and zero interest from police for ‘kids doing these really awful things’

Sedan with no way to access the trunk from the inside is the best vehicle to take to places like that (if you must go).
2 Big Tech Conferences Pull Out of San Francisco’s Moscone Center in 2024
Written by Kevin Truong
Published Jul. 06, 2023
Two major tech conferences have decided to pull out of San Francisco’s Moscone Center in 2024, another speed bump in the city’s struggle to restore Downtown business activity to pre-pandemic levels.
The Red Hat Summit 2024, an annual four-day meeting meant to convene thousands of enterprise software professionals, decided to decamp from San Francisco to Denver. Red Hat, a subsidiary of IBM, is billing the event as the first time the summit has been held in the central United States. ...
In another bit of bad news, Meta has decided to cancel its Business Group Summit scheduled for March 2024, according to the San Francisco Travel Association. The news about conference pullouts, originally reported by the San Francisco Business Times, is another blow to what is shaping up to be a difficult year when it comes to Moscone Center bookings.

Thieves could make short work of those chains using the same battery powered tool they use to steal catalytic converters.
