SF is slowly fighting back, mostly led by Asians. White males have almost no standing these days...sadly. I actually fed some local stories and early encouragement behind the scenes to one of the SF reporters who has gained national attention for her reporting on crime against Asians. San Franciscans started to with the SF DA recall but the mayor, whose brother is in jail for murder during a robbery he was a part of, wants him to get out early... but she's proven to be corrupt by taking gifts such as a car from "friends" doing business with the city... Trouble is I'm not sure who they will replace her with. Feinstein and Willie Brown were good majors tough on crime with Willie having his side piece girlfriend (currently with the US VP job) handle the DA work. Kamela got power by being tough on crime but now to get the national vote, she and Newsome seem to have rotated to issuing headline making edicts or progressivity. Not sure there is hope, the least "woke" candidate now running for Feinstein's senate seat when she ages/dementias out... is Adam Schiff who makes my skin crawl when I hear him speak. secure.actblue.com

Downtown SF Whole foods closed, a third of SF office towers empty and rather than cut rent the owners are offering incentives BECAUSE if they cut lease rates it devalues all the office towers and could start a negative feedback collapse, and now stories are out that people who work hard and want value are leaving too. Via email summarizing today's SJ Mercury News stories: More wealthy residents leaving Bay Area, analysis says: Freed from the office, wealthier people who work remotely are leaving the region, a new report says. It’s a trend that could make an economic “doom loop” even worse as it hurts Bay Area’s job centers and urban cores, leading to strains in the tax base and city services. ••• Read more stories about the Bay Area exodus and the state’s downward population trend.
