Since 2020, cities like San Francisco and Portland have gotten much more dangerous when they passed lots of progressive legislation. I’ve been to these cities many times over the past decade and have witnessed the decline in public safety. It isn't simply an exaggerated talking point by right-wing conservatives from Oklahoma or wherever who have probably never stepped foot inside San Francisco or Portland. It is evident to most people who have spent time in these cities before and after 2020. There is a clear difference.

San Francisco, a city of diverse residents ranging from billionaires to service workers, shares a common sentiment - a growing frustration over paying taxes without seeing significant improvements. We grapple with high rents in a city that, despite its beauty, is marred by the presence of transient criminals and part-time homeless individuals who drain public resources. Each day, we navigate through encampments of stolen goods that have driven our retail businesses to closure, only to go to work and face the relentless cycle of pay, pay, and pay. By month's end, we are left to decide between paying the electric bill or keeping the heater running during the cool nights. Yet, despite these challenges, we rise each morning, ready to work and pay our taxes. We do this because we believe in this city and our right to live here. We are prepared to use our votes and unite to ensure the rights of every individual who works tirelessly to earn an honest living and abide by laws that deter lawlessness. We often speak of equality for all, but for too long, the tax-paying working class has been treated as second-class citizens. Yesterday, we cast our votes to reclaim what we work for every day - our right to a safe and prosperous city.

@@colingallagher1443 As someone who used to manage teams that worked with parents who's kids were at risk for neglect and abuse because the parents were abusing drugs or alcohol, my very first question when hearing about program, was where are they going to find inpatient beds for these people? Nationwide there just aren't enough treatment beds for people who actually want to get clean and sober, let alone for people who don't want to. My second question was are they building in the mental health treatment resources and other resources necessary to help people get clean and stay sober. For example, one former drug addict in our program had abscessed teeth, no program paid for dental care, so she ended up getting addicted to pain medication. We paid for the necessary dental work, which allowed her to get sober, we provided a bus pass which helped her find and keep a job, and our housing specialist helped her find adequate housing for her family. She was able to get her kids back from foster care, and was a real success story. It took an upfront investment of resources, but it saved a family, and in the long run saved the government tens of thousands of dollars. Shoving people into a treatment program without other resources to stabilize them is unlikely to be successful in the long run.

I lived in DC for 30 years, and sold my home with nowhere to go, beginning of 2022 (during a huge loss of property value) because the crime in DC was out of control. There was an amazing transition from burnt out and boarded up when I moved there to nice condos and townhouses. And then the DC Council and Mayor descended on us with stuff unlimited alcoholic licenses as you want there. And then declared that people could make as much noise as they wanted, and that it was a historic district for African-Americans and that all of the NIMBYs should shut up. And what happened, insanely overrun by drugs and crime, and total disrespect for the people who bought homes and lived there for many years -- told every frickin day they didn't belong there. Racist assaults, and hatred, trash, graffiti on every surface, ATVs and dirt bikes all day all night. And a police force with hands tied behind their backs to do anything. Because they legalized drugs, and told police not to chase, not to pursue criminals. It was all harmless "culture." Meanwhile daily fights and weekly murders and constant robberies, theft and destruction. How was any of that progressive, or embracing African American culture when African Americans are the primary victims of the crime? When drugs and alcohol are abused, and property values plummet? Muriel Bowser did this. The DC City Council did this. I am loosely progressive still as far as helping people, but the nonsense about catching criminals is racist, and that people live in a neighborhood and try to defend their lives and their properties are NIMBYs and gentrifiers who need to get out?!?! 30 years into the toilet -- Muriel Bowser and nearly the entire City Council were responsible, and so were the voters who put in the fake crime-loving, racism screeching "progressives" like Brianne Nadeau. Boot the bums out. Council ignored us. Police stopped responding to 911. Okay, you win -- time to get the heck out of there. Stayed too long because I wanted to believe the "liberals" and "progressives" had the best intentions. Nope. Time to clean house of the poisonous ideas, proven only to lead to death and destruction.

I do not not see any common sense in what you think so obviously prudent. You state, confidently, "If [doing away with the transition tax] . . . does in fact incentivize [developers] to do it, then I think it makes a lot of sense." Your statement that immediately follows the foregoing remark is, "I mean you have these buildings that are sitting empty." The fact that the buildings are "sitting empty" is the best argument there is as to why developers (i.e., the owners of the vacant commercial spaces) should not be given a tax incentive to convert their buildings from commercial to residential premises. The owners of these vacant commercial buildings are not collecting rents from them. Why do they need to be "incentiviz[ed]' to convert their commercial buildings into habitable spaces that will result in their yielding income from rentals paid by residential tenants when they currently are not receiving any rental payments because they have no commercial lessees? Real estate developers are not in the business of helping people. They are in the business of making money. Surely you do not think that after the transition tax is waived the developers are going to be guided by their altruistic desire to provide affordable housing for the neediest San Franciscans? The commercial space will be converted into luxury apartments.

As someone who spent four years studying urban development, including housing policy, I feel no shame in saying these policies will absolutely fail. For one they arguably violate federal precedent unless SF has enough shelter beds for every homeless person in California. Two even assuming the policies are successful they will only be successful in SF which which will cause more of the homeless population in the region to be attracted to SF and provide surrounding cities with an easy excuse to offload their homeless population on SF. Regarding the developer tax incentive that is likely to fail as well simply because there is no incentive for developers to build/remodel for low-income/homeless population, while there is a massive financial incentive to build high-end apartments and condominiums. If there is to be a solution to the housing crisis it will need to come from the national, state, and local levels all working in sync.

You are talking about competence and merit. That has been destroyed in America, starting with the education system. Similarly the idea of testing, and making changes based on real results.

It's the failed policies that have resulted in mass homelessness. Obviously that isn't the homeless drug addicts fault so we shouldn't be taking the incompetency out on the poor. Why would anyone think it is okay to allow officers to review bodycams before writing the report? That's crazy.

This is the most pointless comment I've ever heard. They literally get a monthly check for doing nothing. They have resources to actually change their lives if they want to... How is it fair to innocent children that literally risk their lives trying to get school because they might step on a needle? Screw over little kids or screw over grown adults? I'll choose the latter anyway!

Anna take is lame because Florida has a drug problem thats probably just as bad as California's , so to turn to their solutions thinking they'll work when they've been proven to fail is kinda ridiculous . To say politicians have performed badly is one thing , but to say its a policy failure is another thing , and to replace existing failed policy with another failed policy is banana's. The best strategy/policy implemented terribly will yeild bad results . Cali has a housing problem that is the root cause of all other problems , to think increased policing and tryna tighten social security will fix that is just delusional , it doesn't work , idk why she'd endorse the policies as reasonable . Saying she's "fascinated" to see how they work out . Im not denying there's crime , obviously there is but its been proven that that way doesn't work.

I’ve lived in San Francisco for the last 17 years, nothing about this is conservative, I hate that people are even using that word. Things were so far left, and so relaxed, police, looking the other way, allowing burglaries, car, break-ins, and robberies to happen without any penalty, the fact that we’re finally just going back to normal, and providing a basic level of justice once again, and people are saying this is conservative?! San Francisco has gone from extremely ultra liberal, to just plain liberal.
