And allowing people to just steal whatever if it's below $1000.

Letting people into the country who come from third world countries where they are not use to laws being enforced and thus dont follow them once here.

Cities like San Francisco going down the tubes.

Not trying to be political just logical that being laisez faire on such things has negative consequences on a peaceful society ruled by laws and thus respect for your fellow citizen.

Im independent yet cant wait to vote out this type of laissez faire thinking.

Would this be the laissez faire thinking that gives undocumented immigrants Second Amendment rights

SF has relatively low violent crime compared to other cities, while drug sales are to be expected where a significant amount of people think drugs should be decriminalized or legalized. I don’t think the city has much of anything to do with the point of vague “moral decay.”

Perhaps depends on your definition of “violent crime“ or what you are including. Armed robbery, for example, is a violent crime, and SF is in the top 20 cities in the US for that crime.

Well if you put your SF hat on, that's not a violent crime, because no one is harmed but evil businesses, which is actually good.

Armed robbery includes the act of robbing somebody walking down the street.

I was beaten to near death in the Tenderloin near the KFC/Taco Bell on Eddy.

To this day (despite this occurring in December 2021) there have been no arrests made. The police have names, video, witnesses and audio of one participant bragging about the assault.

The former DA had zero interest in prosecuting and the current one is suffocating under the backlog left to them.

This is not how a well functioning city - let alone a high trust one - operates. And it’s not just about statistics - an assault in SF, where it is likely the culprit won’t be arrested and certainly won’t be sent to prison, is significantly more damaging than a similar assault in a properly policed and actually adjudicating municipality.
