The opiate crisis is undeniable, the crime problem, weirdly difficult to get a handle on (I guess not weird since the police are hamstrung without a way to take effective action). It sucks, but we can’t blame it on conservative conspiracy. This one is all on the policy failings of the city and state.
It’s comforting to hear that it has happened before. The city will rise again.
What I wrote is true, just not 100% of SFs problem, which I never claimed.
Gradients, ranges, distributions; oh my
100% of the problem is on Federal government as it’s a problem across the country and they do nothing. Many homeless are veterans waiting for promised benefits Congress will never honor, but will leverage in their campaigning.
And Federal government accountability is up to the people. So why trust the public? It’s just sitting on the merry go round, staring blankly at their phone.
I will never respect the rest of this society for propping that up without 24/7 pushback against politicians who do nothing but move the issue around and claim everyone else is doing it wrong
Just an utter lack of willingness to speak truth to a mathematical minority of rent seeking non-contributors, who would piss themselves in fear at the mere threat of collective action
But nah; America is cool with this performative bullshit
