‘Hey, where are you?” Hannah Ege texted her husband, Sheria Musyoka. He’d left on a morning jog and had been gone for an hour and a half. Hannah was home, taking care of their three-year-old son. She began to freak out. She called and texted and called again. He never answered.

Speeding and drunk — at just shy of eight in the morning — Jerry Lyons barreled through a red light at an intersection in a stolen Ford Explorer. Lyons struck and killed Musyoka, a 26-year-old Dartmouth grad who had moved to San Francisco only ten days earlier with his wife and their son. After clipping Musyoka, Lyons collided with another car, causing an eight-car pileup that sent several other people to the hospital.

The San Francisco police arrested Lyons on multiple charges that morning in February, but this was not the first time he’d been arrested for drunk driving in a stolen car. On December 3, he had been arrested for driving under the influence, driving a stolen vehicle, and driving without a license. Before that, he’d been released from prison after serving time for a grand-theft conviction; in fact, Lyons had been arrested at least seven times in the Bay Area since his release from prison, and his rap sheet goes back a decade. Still, San Francisco’s district attorney, Chesa Boudin, delayed pressing charges against Lyons until a toxicology report confirmed that he had been inebriated, which, more than a month and a half later in January, it did. Lyons then had 14 days to turn himself in to the DA’s office. On the 13th day, he killed Musyoka. While COVID-era difficulties might have accounted for the medical examiner’s slow speed in returning test results, a different DA could have chosen to move forward sooner — taking necessary precautions — and charged Lyons with a DUI based on observable factors alone, such as the results of Lyons’s field sobriety test, his erratic driving in a stolen vehicle, and close scrutiny of his behavior.

Hannah Ege expressed her grief and pain to a local TV news station, railing at the district attorney’s reluctance to lock up repeat offenders. Whom does she blame for her husband’s death? “The DA,” she said. “This freak accident was no freak accident. It was someone who was out in the public who should not have been out in public.”

The Lyons mayhem is not an isolated case in the city by the bay. On New Year’s Eve, a parolee on the run from a robbery — also in a stolen car — sped through a red light, striking and killing two women, 60-year-old Elizabeth Platt and 27-year-old Hanako Abe, who were in the crosswalk. The driver, Troy McAlister, had been released twice by the district attorney in the previous year: the first time because Boudin refuses to pursue three-strike cases, of which McAlister’s was one; the second — as recently as December 20, when the SFPD arrested McAlister for driving a stolen car — because Boudin kicked the case to the state parole officers, who did nothing.

Welcome to San Francisco’s latest idiocy, a new experiment in governance where everything is allowed but nothing is permitted. A paradox, you might say, but take a walk down Market Street, down that great avenue in a great city in a great nation, and note the desolation of the empty streets, the used needles tossed on the sidewalks, and the boarded-up windows on storefronts. Consider that, at various unpredictable times in the last year, it has been illegal — for the sake of public safety during COVID — to run a mom-and-pop corner shop or to serve food at sidewalk cafés. Reflect for a moment that, since time immemorial, it has been illegal to build any new housing, because of the most onerous and confusing zoning laws in the known universe. Mark Zuckerberg can apparently influence national elections by tweaking algorithms, but he is powerless before the planning commission when it comes to building apartments for his employees. The city has banned plastic straws, plastic bags, and McDonald’s Happy Meals with toys. And yet, all the while, drug dealers sell their wares — COVID or no COVID — openly and freely at all hours of the day and night, users shoot up or pop fentanyl in public and defecate on the street, robbers pillage cars and homes with the ease of Visigoth raiders, and the district attorney frees repeat offenders who go on to sow disorder, pain, devastation, and grief. A profound melancholy hangs in the air of this city, punctuated only by the shrieks of a junkie dreaming of demons or by the rat-tat-tat-bam of the occasional firework. (Or was that a gun?) ...

How did it come to this? On January 8, 2020, Mayor London Breed swore in Chesa Boudin as the new district attorney of San Francisco in front of a packed house at the Herbst Theater. Boudin won the election by a nose in a runoff, with oily promises to feel the pain of all parties to a crime, both victims and perpetrators. He made pledges to enact “restorative justice” and prison reform through “decarceration.” U.S. Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor recorded a congratulatory video message, which was played at the swearing-in ceremony for Boudin and the crowd. “Chesa, you have undertaken a remarkable challenge today,” the justice said. “The hope you reflect is a great beacon to many.”

The task before Boudin was already monumental. Before he assumed his office, San Francisco ranked No. 1 in the nation in property crime. On average, thieves broke 60 car windows per day, with impunity. In 2014, California voters approved Proposition 47, a reform measure that reduced many felonies to ticketed misdemeanors, such as theft of less than $950 and hard-drug possession. There were more drug addicts on the streets than there were students in the schools. Tent encampments of homeless people had sprouted in every nook and alley and under every highway overpass. Commuters faced a daily gauntlet in the form of an appalling humanitarian crisis in the streets.

But Boudin immediately refused to take any responsibility for these issues. Among his first acts was to fire seven veteran prosecutors who were not on board with his radical views. (Over 30 prosecutors have left during his tenure because they don’t want to work for him.) Next, Boudin abolished the cash-bail system, so offenders are able to walk free after arrest. He rarely brings a case to trial: Out of the 6,333 cases to land on his desk since taking office, he has gone to trial only 23 times. This is one-tenth the rate of his predecessor, George Gascón, who was hardly tough on crime. Since the killing of George Floyd, there has been a shortage of cops, as officers retire in record numbers. San Francisco has also moved to defund the police, with plans to shift $120 million in law-enforcement funding to restorative-justice programs, housing support, and a guaranteed-income pilot, among other ideas.

To where does Boudin’s “great beacon” point? Over the last year, there have been more deaths from drug overdoses in San Francisco than from COVID-19. Walgreens has closed ten of its drugstores in the city because its shelves were being pillaged freely by shoplifters. According to SFPD’s CompStat, compared with last year, arson has increased 52 percent, motor-vehicle theft is up 21 percent, and burglaries have seen a 59 percent increase. One largely Asian neighborhood, the Richmond district, has reported a 342 percent spike in burglaries this year compared with last. Admittedly, some numbers are down, such as those for larceny and robbery. But police attribute these declines to the pandemic, since there are fewer opportunities for would-be criminals to commit such crimes as people shelter in place. One neighborhood association sent a letter in February to Boudin and Mayor Breed, begging them to restore public safety. The association also posted it on the Internet. “Our neighborhood can’t wait another day,” they wrote. “Our homes are repeatedly broken into and robbed. Our merchants suffer unsustainable losses from theft and smashed windows. Employees are threatened with guns. Residents are robbed at gunpoint on our own streets. The sound of gunshots is no longer unusual.” ...

Now, what rough beast slouches its way towards San Francisco? With a district attorney who won’t prosecute crimes, how long will it be until an anxious Google engineer defends himself from being harassed by a madman? Will envious arsonists light the Salesforce Tower on fire as a jacked-up mob courses through the streets burning and looting the Painted Ladies?

A desperate sun struggles through the fog. There may be one ray of hope. The city has recently approved the effort to recall Chesa Boudin from office. Locals could begin downloading signature-gathering petitions on March 12. If 10 percent of registered voters sign the petition, all voters may get the chance to vote the bum out. But even if they do, it will remain tragic for Musyoka, Platt, Abe, and others like them that the day did not come soon enough.

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.


What does the property plat show as far as this sidewalk ? It would be on file with the county property appraiser and included as improved or extra property features as far as total property taxes.

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.

The only comparison I can think of is that some municipalities require removal of snow from public sidewalks in front of their homes, and failure to do so would result in a fine.

Businesses have plenty of extras that one could consider "should nots." A tools tax (includes computers), a gross receipts tax, restrictions on who you can hire or fire, and other rules based on "convenience and necessity."

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.
771   Ceffer   2023 Oct 2, 12:01pm  

Preston is a Globalist shill, likely family is another subversive store front, mini Soros or a Soros apparatchik. Scratch 'n sniff and you will likely find East Coast Sabbatean Frankism.

Not a socialist or interested in justice at all, of course, simply the usual virtue signaling inversions, an ambassador of secular feudalism and the joys of human suffering and sacrifice under central control after destroying all rights and democratic process. Never met a government or social organization didn't want to undermine or disintegrate for the hell of it.

My one Euro journey, we were warned about pickpockets and Gypsies

On my first trip to Europe back in the day with my then girlfriend, who was accosted by two young Gypsy kids in a plaza in Rome. The kids were waving pages of newspaper in her face, obscuring her vision, while one of the kids was unzipping her fanny pack. I intervened and chased the kids away. One hissed at me like an animal. I spotted their minder leaning against the wall of a building acroos the plaza. It was close but they didn’t get anything.

It would cost $500 to repair the car rear view window, which is equal to or less than the lowest deductible for car insurance.

So this may create a new demand for secure parking spots just like paying for a space in a private parking lot or garage.

All it does it drive up costs just like in the Mexico and the rest of the 3rd world. These are costs the upper middle class and rich have to pay in order to maintain a minimum level of security and safety.

Well, last time when I spoke to cops in south bay for neighbors who were victims, they kind of give an impression that if it is less than $1k deal with insurance. Their body language indicate that they are not interested to look over the issues. Perhaps they are busy on other things. But they did catch guys in 2 different other cases and confirmed after I gave them videos involving breaking vesicles and stealing stuff from inside. btw they were nice on the phone and messages.
As long as folks elect same type of people, making and keeping same policies, things may not improve.

Despite the AI Hype, Office Markets in San Francisco & Silicon Valley Get Even Worse

Release the deputized criminals, run down prices as victims flee, buy up real estate for cheapsies, reinvigorate law and order, victims return, reap appreciation and profits.

Rinse, repeat.

They only raze with DEWs when various peasants are in the way of redevelopment. DEW contracting has become the new right of way condemnation. Boiled, exploded and powdered people are a small price to pay for inspired planning.

Do they make a blue shade of commercial tin foil?

Seven (!) Starbucks Closing in SF is Demise of Downtown Culture

Mayor Breed’s disastrous policies mostly to blame...

Mayor London Breed imposed, arguably, the toughest and most prolonged lockdowns for Covid in America, with disastrous results. Barring public gatherings for months longer than necessary has clearly taken its toll. While other cities across the nation survived, even thrived, Breed’s San Francisco gasped for air, and still does. Coupled with her eagerness in 2020 to defund our police department by taking $120 million from their budget, as well as pushing to remove any mandated minimum staff levels of police officers, her decisions created much of the economic disaster we San Franciscans are experiencing today. Add to this, her insane record-high annual city budget of $14.6 Billion when we can’t afford it (and shouldn’t afford, either). Homelessness, tent encampments, mentally ill addicts roaming the streets day and night, often sleeping in Starbucks shops, some bathing in the toilets, if not partaking in their drug of choice. With offices vacant, the customers stopped coming. Tourists were understandably chased away by concerns for safety. Remote workers preferred to be even further remote.
787   Ceffer   2023 Oct 6, 6:21pm  

The freeways are more crowded, not because of job prosperity, but because BART is such a pitty experience with robbers, cars vandalized in the parking lots, filth, etc. that a lot of workers have returned to car commutes rather than risk public transportation.

San Francisco police took a man into custody Sunday following a violent early morning episode on Market Street that sent four people to the hospital.

Police said in a statement that officers responded around 7:45 a.m. to a report of an assault at Market and Stockton streets, followed moments later by a reported stabbing less than a block away near Fourth and Market streets.

Officers arrived at the scene and detained a man suspected of stabbing three people and assaulting another. They said the man, whom they did not identify, remained in police custody on unspecified pending charges.

All four victims were taken to a hospital for treatment. Details on their conditions were not available Sunday afternoon.

On Wednesday, police identified the suspect as Effrim Baker, 60, of San Francisco and said he had been arrested on suspicion of three counts of aggravated assault and attempted homicide, and counts of elder abuse, aggravated assault with a weapon and robbery.

Viewpoint: Is San Francisco on the road to bankruptcy?
Hans Hansson

San Francisco, a city once known for its iconic landmarks, vibrant culture, and technological innovation, is facing a looming financial crisis that could lead to bankruptcy.

Tech employers like Yelp and Airbnb that once made San Francisco their home have now either fled the city or closed offices in favor of working remote. This has led to massive reductions in commercial property values —and associated tax bills.

Despite recently increasing its budget by 2 percent for the coming year, the city is grappling with the harsh reality of a potential 50 percent or more reduction in commercial real estate property taxes, and the hits keep on coming. It is a road,map to the roadmap to bankruptcy if we don’t change course.

The city has relied on property taxes as a staple of its revenue stream for many years. A significant portion of the city’s budget depends on a steady inflow of property tax revenue, primarily from commercial real estate. However, the ongoing reassessment process could severely undermine this source of income. Property owners seeking a reassessment may lead to substantial reductions in tax revenues for the city, which won’t materialize for several years.

This delay is a ticking time bomb, with potentially disastrous consequences for the city’s financial stability.

Once the property reassessments are completed, San Francisco will be obligated to reimburse property owners for the excessive property taxes they paid during the reassessment period. This could result in a substantial loss of revenue for the city, creating a financial chasm that might be challenging to bridge. The sudden financial burden of these reimbursements, combined with the reduced property tax revenue, will leave San Francisco in potentially dire straits.

But even bankruptcy might not fully address the city’s mounting fiscal woes. Pensions represent a substantial portion of San Francisco’s annual budget. However, under bankruptcy laws, pensions are typically protected, meaning that even in the face of severe financial distress, the city would still be obligated to fulfill its pension commitments to retirees.

In any case, if San Francisco were to file for bankruptcy, it would mark a grim chapter in the city’s history. Bankruptcy would entail a series of challenging decisions and painful sacrifices. The city’s leadership would have to make tough choices regarding public services, infrastructure, and city employee salaries, all while ensuring that pension obligations are met. These decisions can lead to reduced public services, deteriorating infrastructure, and potentially lower quality of life for residents.

Bankruptcy would of course have broader implications for San Francisco’s reputation and ability to attract investment. Credit ratings might plummet, making it more expensive for the city to borrow money for essential projects. Investors could shy away from a city with financial instability, potentially stalling future economic growth.

San Francisco’s financial situation is precarious, with the potential for bankruptcy looming large on the horizon. The delayed impact of property tax reassessments, coupled with the protection of pensions, presents a significant challenge to the city’s financial stability.

While bankruptcy is not an inevitable outcome, the road ahead is undoubtedly fraught with difficult decisions and potential hardships for residents. San Francisco’s leadership must navigate this treacherous journey carefully, exploring all possible avenues to avert a financial disaster and secure a prosperous future for the city.

San Francisco paying $12,000 per month for homeless RVs while tech workers sleep in $700 ‘pods’
By Marjorie Hernandez
Oct. 10, 2023

San Francisco is pouring millions of dollars into an RV park for the homeless, while young people trying to get a break in their careers are reduced to living in 4-feet high by 3.5-feet wide “pod” spaces for $700 a month.

The city opened a “safe parking site” at Candlestick Point in January 2022, which is home to 30 RVs — each of which cost the city $12,000 a month to keep there, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The site, named the Bayview Vehicle Triage Center, has been recommended to be opened for another two years, which will cost the city at least $12.2 million.

Despite living rent-free and having 24/7 security, some residents at the RV park don’t enjoy it.

I lived through that era and watched it happen.

The reason tech companies moved to SF is entirely because it's far more beautiful, interesting, and walkable than Silicon Valley. The employees essentially demanded it, and companies which didn't have an office in SF lost employees.

The bloom is off that rose now, and employees are not as interested in stepping in human shit on the way to work as they once were.

Westfield mall receiver appointed after lenders sue

Williams wrote in the declaration filing last week that "the most significant issue relating to the Mortgaged Property is security." He aims to retain a third-party security consultant and fully-insured third-party security personnel as well as potentially off-duty and retired San Francisco Police Department officers. Additionally, he described stationing guards and security canines at the property at each entrance and exit, on surrounding sidewalks and the property perimeter to control the flow of people in and out of the building.

"These actions have proven extremely effective in deterring crime at malls, especially in inner city or downtown locations," Williams wrote in the filing. "Based on my experience, I believe these security measures will discourage bad actors from engaging in bad acts, and will provide comfort to customers knowing that security at the Mortgaged Property is in place."


I'm pretty sure that those measures will not help in the slightest until physical force can be used against looters. What are the guards going to do, yell at them?

And if a dog actually bites a looter, the looter will sue and almost certainly win, because it's San Francisco.

I can explain this.

We had to come together to make the Internet, because the Internet didn't exist yet. It was dialup in the 1990's. There was no video, audio BARELY worked on it, we had to come together to create the infrastructure.

This was "Silicon Valley" before that, Apple was here, Atari, it was the tech capital. This place was attractive (at the time), nice weather, really brilliant people, "crazy people" even, I knew quite a few - but being nuts didn't disqualify them from a job - it was "can you do the job?" I knew a kid that had stuffed toys in his cubicle, just because he loved them. He was like 25 - I found it innocent and charming.

This was, for a short time, a complete meritocracy.

But our time is over. The Internet was made, information is democratized if you put in a bit of effort to find it, and our old "Big Tech" companies are corrupt, and sleeping with intelligence agents, being fucked in the asshole.
