Stupid libby fuck pretends it's a mystery:

The hearing did not answer a crucial question: Why San Francisco? If the problem stems in part from a change in California law, why aren’t other cities in the state seeing similar spikes in shoplifting?

It's because the policies you support attract the worst human garbage, you moron.

Maybe the Deplorables should strike back and start dining at the French Laundry, and simply not pay.

Most people can't consume $950 worth of food and wine, however overpriced.

Once the elites places of business start folding up, they will change things.

"Maybe the Deplorables should strike back and start dining at the French Laundry, and simply not pay."

I wonder if that was the place billionaire in laws took my dirt poor girl friend and me years ago in the day in San Francisco because I was related to my sister. No price menus etc. I didn't 'get it', and my brother in law's brother made a pass at my girl friend.

It was also the place Newsom dined just before forbidding the peasants from eating out.

Just after, actually.

I used to have coffee at a cafe on Market Street and 3rd in SF each morning before work. I would sit at a table and watch the homeless walk in, rifle through the wrapped sandwiches, pick one, and walk out.

They are out of business now of course.

True. $950 pilferage per day per homeless creep finishes off the destruction of businesses that Covid began.

I watched a bum walk out of Super Duper Burger joint with a huge jar of pickles. Not a single person, including employees, batted an eye.

What's hilarious is that, of course, the local media plays a role as well. Look at the title of this article:
'Out of control': Organized crime drives S.F. shoplifting, closing 17 Walgreens in five years
Professional shoplifters can work the system by stealing items under the threshold from one store and hitting several retailers in the same day. To prosecute, the district attorney has pursued aggregated charges for multiple petty theft incidents by the same person, such as a recent case of stolen scooters. Police said a person could also be charged with possession of stolen property worth more than $950.
Like the problem is the mafia...

You could make a nice living stealing just under $950 per trip and selling on eBay.

Police said a person could also be charged with possession of stolen property worth more than $950.

But that is much more difficult to prove because they have to a) be able to identify who the perps are, b) find where they live and c) hope the stolen shit is still there when they do show up with their warrant.

They might be able to trace their sales on eBay and nail them. But they still have to prove that the shit they sold on eBay was the same shit that was stolen.

Chesa won't prosecute even if they do. So they don't bother.

The 'homeless' son of a neighbor in Santa Cruz (wasn't really homeless as long as she was alive, gave him a room, but all of his 'friends' were homeless) ran the scales. He did a bicycle chop shop, and for a while 'pizza delivery' aka distributing drugs. I haven't seen too much of the pizza delivery stuff any more, I guess the homeless bike guys musta stolen too much of the inventory. It seems the flower vendors are the current cartel distributors.

I haven't heard much yet in Santa Cruz about the $950/day homeless theft subsidy, but I am sure it must be happening.

It seems like a flaw in the system that the prosecutor can simply ignore crime.

It’s recall fever in California, as yet another elected official is on the chopping block. This time, it’s San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin who’s up for recall.

It's a nice thought, but San Franciscans are hopeless, imho.

Sign early, sign often!

950 a day... damn that’s close to 30k a month pure profit. I’m in wrong business.

He had to bring his bike inside or someone would have stolen it.

This is how San Francisco becomes Detroit.

Never left my bike anywhere outside in SF and didnt spend more than $500 on it. Some friends had their nicer bikes stolen 2-3 times a year on avg.

Must be a luxury here. I ride my bike pretty much anywhere and never even lock it. Not stolen yet. Same for the other people I know that ride.

Same here, at my kids school not one bike lock and half the kids ride their bike to school. Even when I was a kid in CA every bike had a lock.

Defund the police, black lives matter, celebrate gay pride, love wins.... results amazing!

Happening in LA too. Takes a while for people here to fucking realize there are real problems that need solutions and not superficial offended posturing. I do feel like CA deserves this.

It's out of control now that Gascon is DA

This is in my old city, it's crazy.

Also one of the reasons why I started fighting every single traffic ticket tooth and nail - when you realize the people you pay with your taxpayer money are not working for you but against you, you should not give an inch. Had pretty good results, too, got 50% thrown out on avg. It's low effort for big returns, and even in those cases where it goes all the way to court, after dragging it out as much as possible, by the time you get your court date the point(s) are already half way there to be taken off again. People should do this out of principle, as long as thugs can loot and burn your property and shoplift without repercussions you should withhold any payments as long as possible and make them work to get it if they can. Maybe businesses will stop paying taxes in SF soon like they are withholding now in Baltimore.

I can't wait for Baltimore City to do this so I can do all my shopping for free!

Fly out to SF for a week and go on "shopping spree". More than pays for the tickets, hotel room and rental car.

You could actually do that if you have the ballz. Maybe wait til you see a brotha clearing out the aisles, then just partner up with a trash-bag and keep loading up for yourself. There's plenty for everyone ;)

My elderly neighbor hasn't paid for a BART ticket for more than a decade. She just walks in and out through the emergency exit. Her reasoning? If brothas are allowed to ride free, why not her? And every East Bay homeowner already pays for BART as a line item on their property tax bill.

I think this is what happens as civic values degrade. Resentment grows as people think "why the hell should I pay when all these schmoes are not"? The elites pay no taxes and at the bottom they have a shoplifting free-for-all. The middle will eventually learn to join them.

Ceffer says

I wonder if [French Laundry restaurant] was the place billionaire in laws took my dirt poor girl friend and me years ago in the day in San Francisco

That place is in Yountville, CA, which is a good 90 minute drive north from San Francisco. So, if you weren't out in beautiful rural wine country, I'd say that would be a "no."

Ironically, the buyer on eBay will be arrested for possession of stolen property. The $950 limit only refers to the original robber.

I'm sure that the next time "community organizers" complain about the food desert, some clever investigative team at NYT or WaPo will link it to the $950 limit causing all the stores to go out of business. .... nope!

Who's gonna prosecute?

Really tempted to go do all my equity shopping in SF now.
