In case you were wondering about exactly who in San Fransisco is in favor of the city’s controlled demolition, last week a group of totally-sane citizens led by San Fransisco’s most liberal Supervisor Dean Preston held a rally at City Hall in favor of looser drug enforcement.
... Among other notable accomplishments, after his election to the board, Supervisor Preston passed legislation making it illegal to evict tenants during the pandemic. Here’s one example of an earnest, non-ironic sign from the rally:
So far, these barely-functioning people are somehow winning in California’s most iconic city. This photo illustrates San Fransisco’s current status:
It looks a whole lot like there’s no drug enforcement. Yet the protestors and Supervisor Preston called for looser drug enforcement. How is that even possible? Do they want the city to install fentanyl vending machines or something?
Sunset Beach: for those who think the problem is just downtown. It's spreading all over the bay area into the suburbs.

Everybody in the Southern parts of Europe knows not to leave anything in the car.

Theft in Southern Europe is fairly low compared to demonrat destroyed cities such as SF. France maybe, Italy has hardly any theft, not sure about Spain
Don't have the numbers to compare (share yours), but I was warned to keep the car completely empty every time I visited Rome, Paris, Florence etc. in the 90s, 00s and 10s. Never been to Spain but it's a known fact that people get their purses and camera bags snatched off their shoulder by scooter-riding cunts there. We are shocked by this kind of stuff now, because it's not the norm for us yet, but it is and has been pretty common in Europe for a long time. It is ruled by demon rats after all and being soft on crime has been their schtick since at least 70s..
Barcelona has to be theft capital of Europe. Just about everyone I've talked to who's been there has been robbed there, both purse snatchings and theft of things when they weren't looking.
That happened to me in France. We parked a Chrysler minivan and took a short walk through a park. When we returned to the van, we found someone had used a lock puller on the driver side door and took one of the womans' purse. We found the purse in the trash about a block away with all the money and credit cards missing. This happened in a nice area in Provence about 1995.

In the early 90's I was traveling with a woman (who I was not fucking), we took a train to Tuscany, and the criminals used sleeping gas to knock out the passengers so that they could rifle through everyone's loosely attached belongings. I had my cash hanging around my neck under all my layers of clothihng; she left her cash out and got taken to the cleaners. She was english BTW, so no love lost here.
This is crazy, never heard of anything like this. Are you sure it was sleeping gas
My one Euro journey, we were warned about pickpockets and Gypsies.
More than a year before the November 2024 election, the race for who will represent Downtown San Francisco on the Board of Supervisors is heating up.
Sharon Lai, a former transportation official, announced Friday morning that she will run to represent District 3, which covers the northeast covers of the city, including the Financial District, Chinatown, North Beach, Nob Hill and Russian Hill.
Lai, a Chinese American immigrant, is hardly new to city politics. She worked for the Planning Department earlier in her career and served on the board of directors of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency from 2020 to 2022. She later resigned from the board position to pursue a master's degree at Harvard University. Upon graduating in May 2023, she moved back to the city and currently works for the World Economic Forum, an international lobbying nonprofit.
Having businesses responsible to maintain the public walkways and even boulevards in front of their shops is not new. Not even unusual for the city to require landscaping. Such requirements and "proffers" are nationwide.

I heard that bureaucrat in the mask say they would be fined $1000 if they did not clean the oil stains from the sidewalk. If they don't have ownership of it, then they should not have to maintain it.
San Francisco Supervisor Uses Trust Fund to Finance 'Abolish the Police' Groups
Supervisor Dean Preston not only pushes abolish the police, he uses his family's wealth to promote the agenda in the Bay Area and beyond.
... Preston, a self-described socialist, controls the Arch Community Fund, a charitable foundation backed by his family’s considerable wealth, that he uses to distribute money to activist groups. The fund, formed in 2017 through over $5 million in corporate stock donated by the Preston family, is not mentioned in Preston’s official biography or his campaign website.
But the trust fund wealth has gone to groups that not only share Preston’s values but have protested and amplified the city leader’s efforts to remake the criminal justice system.
The Arch Community Fund has donated $110,000 to the “Anti Police Terror Project,” a group that seeks “to radically transform — and eventually abolish — police and policing.” APTP has mobilized rallies to demand cuts to police funding in the Bay Area, despite surging crime.

@ColumbiaBugle
