How is this not a major news story? I mean this weekend we learned the governor who used to be major of SF has called out BOTH the CA National Guard AND the CHP (California Highway Partrol) to "police" SF. npr.org Matt Dorsey, a San Francisco supervisor, thanked Newsom on Twitter for providing the city "much-needed state resources to disrupt, dismantle and deter brazen open-air drug markets." This is a city where "defund the police" and "don't punish criminals for crime if the amount is less than $1,000" and don't even bother trying to solve the rampant break-ins of cars rented by tourists with rental stickers marking them as easy marks is the "rule of law" these days is still seeking a "solution" that only morons can't see... I could go on and on about BIG investments by Amazon / Whole Foods in SF stores were abandoned for too dangerous for their employees and too much theft... made them worth leaving.... Walgreens, CVS, many small businesses.... especially Asian run businesses targeted as "easy marks" plus jealousy/resentment by other less successful minority groups at reaching the high level of success... Then crazy, barely living street people allowed to be intoxicated in public despite laws against this... are kept in the streets by ACLU zealots who say they have a right to do what they want... They keep raising our taxes for EVERYTHING calling it fees or whatever. So expensive to live here as we spend a fortune to "help people" that doesn't work. CA announced it will do an audit to see why we've spent billions and billions on the "homeless problem" and it is worse... Obviously they've keep the former SF DA and CA AG who got her VP job via an illegal "race and gender identity requirement" out of the news since she was given the duty to solve the illegal immigration problem and did as good a job at that as she did in SF & CA.... Clearly the Dems see they would lose the White House so they found a patsy in NY to attack Trump so no credible Republican can get nominated... so we're probably doomed to another four years of this nonsense....
