- San Francisco made headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. During a one-on-one sit down with Mayor London Breed, we asked her what she's doing to keep the city safe. abc7ne.ws/3MAShYh

Same BS she’s been yapping for years
Right
Best comment 💯
😂
DEFINITELY AGREED 1000%!!!!!!!!!!
Yap lips
How can you fix something if you’re in such a state of denial? Wow she’s a real piece of work folks!
I have to agree with your polite comment @noodler8874. Frankly, I believe she (mayor) has directly contributed to the sad demise of SF. Her time as mayor will come to term (she’ll be gone) giving SF the hope it lost.
The mayor is the only sane person in our city government. The board of supervisors is full of insane old hippies.
Breed is right. Violent crime is way down and far below the national average. What we have a problem with is petty crime mostly targeting tourists. Yes, it's a problem, especially for such a touristy city. She's been trying various strategies for a couple of years now. The Board has blocked literally everything so far.
But don't worry, at the very next election we're getting rid of all of these clowns. This is the end of the road for the crazy Board.
How is she in denial if she hired more police to remove drug addicts off the street and restore humanity in San Francisco?
@@qolspony It's not just the police that have their job, but you also need a District Attorney w/ a backbone to prosecute criminals.
She did a great job of destroying the city. All she cares about is a paycheck. She does not care about the decline of the city. She will leave the state once her term ends.
she's delusional
She literally cited official FBI statistics. Go check for yourself. SF has a remarkably low violent crime rate. What we actually do have an issue with is petty crime and property stuff. This is literal official data!
No, she's towing the line for those who set her salary and keep her in power.
@@handsolo9556i agree with you but who are they?
She has pretty much destroyed San Francisco 😊
The last decent mayor SF had was Feinstein. All the mayors after her have contributed to the destruction of SF.
Gavin Newsom already destroyed it before becoming governor, but Breed made it worse
FAILED IDEOLOGY 101.
People of SF should not vote for her on the next term! Take action!
She is finishing off what Greasy Gavin Newscum started when he was mayor of San Fran-sicko.
All talk and ZERO action
She is working hard on destroying the city. She is doing an excellent job so far. The criminals and homeless found their champion.
A HORRIBLE EXUCUSE FOR A MAYOR...
She's awful. I want her gone.
More like a horribly pathetically shameful and disgraceful stupid fucking excuse for a very stupid fucking incompetent and worst corrupt mayor of San Francisco.
Worst mayor ever. It's all a show.
100% Agree! Ever...
Feinstein was a better Mayor?
You liked Agnos?
Greasy Gavin Newscum was ever and also the worst goverrnor CA has ever had even though we thought Jerry Brown was gonna be..
As long as this city keeps electing people because of the color of their skin, their sexual orientation or their gender identity, it cannot be saved.
We need to elect more criminals and homeless. Throw in a few junkies and they can spend the tax dollars the same way the mayor does.
well said
Yeah, cuz all those straight white men have been so good for the general public these last 400 years.
Pull your head out of Trumps ass. I know for a fact you can not list one major American city that has been saved by electing a republican mayor or city council. Because none exist.
You're dumb angry blow hards. You are not problem solvers. Your solution is always to change things so the top one percent benefit the most, and then keep anyone from trying to improve life for the bottom 99 percent.
Well, maybe that wouldn't happen if white people in office weren't so racist. I mean, I'm sure you know what's going on out there, right? People of color know this mayor won't adopt a stop and frisk policy. This existence is not just about you. Hear what I'm saying!!!
Also, based on their ideology.
I don't know how she still has a job. I wouldn't hire her to work as a fast food worker. Businesses are closing left and right, Bay Area residents avoid visiting SF, Homeless and filth everywhere. You walk a street and see shattered glasses everywhere from broken into vehicles. She is in denial.
Denial? She didn't dispute high property crime, are you well? I don't know how you have a job, you probably don't.
@@DRKBRANDON01 ah, obviously a liberal that voted her in. Rather than just recognize your error and move on. The liberal will continue to deny and gaslight, just like with Newsome and Brandon. They are all a disaster, the woke progressive policies may sound enchanting, but they fail miserably in real life.
She is in it for the money, power, and identity politics.
She's the main culprit and needs to be removed and jailed. Just unbelievable....getting paid to destroy the city. .
Watch clueless SF voters vote her back in. Just like they'll vote Nancy Pelosi back in for yet another term.
She has changed SF into Gotham City.
DEFINITELY AGREED 1000%!!!!!!!!!!
She will transform SF to a city like Rome or Paris.
I like how she takes credit for increasing the police force when she was the one who defunded them in the first place
She has crippled the police force. Their hands are tied and crime is on the rise.
In SF, we haven’t re-imagined crime so much as re-defined it. Nothing is considered illegal by the Mayor and DA, therefore crime is down.
You make a solid point.
Wow she helped get the police department a budget increase after defunding them. What a hero..
Right 😂. She's in denial too, avoiding the bad issues.
She's doing the right thing now. Everybody's been wrong about something before.
@@evening_streets Oh shes doing the right thing NOW after countless citizens suffered from her moronic idea of defunding them. She should have known it was wrong from the get go like any other person with half a brain. Do not excuse such awful leadership.. the city deserves better.
She didn’t defund the police. She supported it after BLM protest but a week later she stated that she will not defund. Now SF is hiring more police.
@@user-qg1wj7wh8i You're a sheep. She successfully cut 120 million for the 2021 and 2022 year. Not only are you a sheep, you're delusional. The police department has approximately 600 unfilled positions and estimated to be in the 800s by the end of of the year. Out of their desperation to hire new upcoming officers, do you really think the city will be hiring qualified bodies, or just bodies that breath and talk? SF made their bed, now they can sleep in it.
Gaslighting 101. Excellent job mayor.
nobody thinks they're great except them
NY, Boston, San Jose all have lower crime and homicide rates. SF crime crate is actually far worse, as many business and home owners don't file complaints, worrying about insurance companies dropping their coverage. Auto insurance rates for SF dwellers are now sky high compared to other cities in peninsula. No amount of PR is going to hide the truth.
London breed is a terrible mayor. She is a woman who has had numerous ethics violations. She has lied about campaign finance issues. London breed is a terrible mayor. I guarantee you if you don’t live in a city of San Francisco, you would never want to move there. You would never want to visit there. It sucks and she’s part of the problem. I believe it is London breed who had the fantastic idea to go ahead and decriminalize drugs that has really worked out really really well for San Francisco the sanctuary city. Let’s never forget the Mexican guy here illegally, who killed The young woman with the handgun wrapped in a towel, and then the district attorney of San Francisco basically let him walk. San Francisco what a wonderful city
He didn’t walk he went to prison
How about all the white drug addicts, that follow you asking for money to buy more drugs. 😂😂
Overall crime rate is down because you no longer charge criminals
Most people do not report the crimes since the police do nothing and the FA does not prosecute.
You had one job. One job. And that should have been to Hound her about the homeless problem and drug seeking behavior they bring. Which can be easily influence youth to purchase drugs from their dealers. Thus chasing out businesses in the region.
Then again if you did this you wouldn’t have been sitting there speaking with her right?
Yes, one job...protect the residents, and not crininals!
Has this woman not been looking at Lori Lightfoot former Mayor of Chicago!? Lori Lightfoot said the exact same thing regarding crime. Like Lori this Mayor is completely DELUSIONAL.
Well they say the same thing probably becaaaaaaaaause
“Eat my word” - Breed
Tell that to the family of the cash app CEO and the fire commissioner who got beat up by a homeless person.
It's how all politicians sweep murder under the rug.
Recall LONDON
The Worthless
How about dose girls who been rollover by the crackhead on Christmas Eve ?
Boy was this comment wrong
The definition of incompetence; the ability to demand a refund when you break something you stole....
Highly doubt Salesforce will ever hold one of their massive events under her watch anymore. Imagine what would happen. Have you walked down Market Street lately? War zone.
They shut down market street from cars so the drug dealers have a place to work.
Salesforce should leave San Francisco or move its headquarter to a different town.
I work from home now and honestly avoid downtown as much as I can. It is worse than you can imagine. I no longer feel safe walking the streets. Crime is on the rise and the mayor condones it.
What is the point of getting more police if you are going to let criminals immediately out of jail and not prosecute any crimes
Y’all wanted to defund the police just last year. What happened to all that energy. Y’all think we forgot huh? 😂
She DID defund the police
So what the police are people to, it doesn't effect me for walking around late at night, @wigwam3270 I would like to see you do the same with no weapons in your pocket and only your wits.
As a long time San Franciscan...crime has been getting worst! Current policies are disastrous, and they would have to be changed before conditions improve! We need to be tougher on crime...period!!!
She sees hope but mostly for the criminals and homeless at the expense of the tax paying citizens.
Selective perception and cognitive dissonance in action.
You can earn the same effect from getting all your information on a place from the news media. Experience counts. Understanding population size vs crime rates counts… something most people in smaller areas attribute their judgement of crime and fear of it on.
The mayor should also focus on those sanctuary and homeless shutting down Safeway, Walgreens, whole foods, cvs, etc. 😆
The state legislature works against the people like that scott weiner, a deviant that focus on increasing crime.
They didn't shut down because of homeless. They shut down because the stores were under performers and the costs of operations are high and getting low wage workers is near impossible because of Real Estate speculation and Gentrification .
Lol Blm🤡💩🍉
those national corporations can leave. let people from the city open up shelters for the homeless and migrants in those spaces.
@@williamryan9195 recently the management of the whole food says its for the safety of employee and the high rise of theft. Its a pattern same decisions they did on Walmart and some Walgreens.
This Mayor needs to retire from the Job.
For you maybe MAYOR LONDON living in your mansion on the hill watching the chaos you created from your window
You get what you vote for. Most people knew what would happen by defunding the police and legalizing drugs and letting the addicts live in tents goodbye SAN FRAN you were a great city just like Portland and Seattle use to be.
San Fran..you’re not even from
Sf lol
I've visited San Fran and it is a 5ht hole.
Let's remove the camping activities in the city FIRST. We drove through the city last time and didn't want to park nor stay nor visit nor spend any money. Just too dangerous!
The question: are you worried about San Francisco’s reputation?
Her response : we’re starting a new campaign, we’re creating more office space etc
Just don’t think that’s enough to make San Franciscans feel safe.
They don't need more office space - the vacancy rate now is 40%. Everyone working from home, or just not working and all that.
This mayor needs to vacate her own office space
CONGRATULATIONS MAYOR! Another Fortune 500 Company Whole Foods Market has left your city because of the unbelievable spike in crime.
Hyperbole much?. Yeah there's no more "Wholefoods in San Francisco". What a Fox Fake Networks troll. Sit down!.
All according to her plan. Pretty soon there will be enough office space to house all the homeless. She just needs to figure out how to give them all $100,000 per year for living expenses using our hard earned tax dollars. I get to work 65 hrs per week to pay somebody who works 0 hours. Makes perfect sense. Promote laziness and drug use.
The interviewer was terrible...didn't push back on anything she said, wasn't specific or targeted in his questions.
Kept giving her softball questions. Push her on housing NIMBYism in SF! Push her on political corruption tied to realtors in SF! Push her on her own corruption! She is trying to pull strings to get her murderer brother out of prison....the interviewer didn't ask anything about this.
No worry. Only shopped once in SF once for past 3 years and I only live across the Bay. Crime, lack of parking, and expensive helped me avoid SF.
Me too but I started really avoiding San Fran-sicko like the plague around 20 years ago when Greasy Gavin Newscum starting ruining it when he was the mayor of it.
Well, I guess it is kind of her job to be optimistic about San Francisco, However, there has to be some semblance of reality too. What about the Tenderloin District? Yeah, what about it? Well, it needs to be cleaned up. What about that homeless/drug problem? Nothing mentioned about it in this interview unless I missed it. San Francisco, with all its problems, can still be saved but it IS on a downward spiral as evidenced by her denial of what is happening in the city.
Totally agreeing with you. She got to face the problem that everyone can see right away. Tenderloin district needs to be cleaned and the law allowing drug use in public and stealing should not be legal in the first place! A crime is a crime and you cannot try to find excuses for people.
She is blinded and on the side of the criminals.
Only after this mayor is gone will there be good change. My family has been in San Francisco for five generations. Last
Decade Most have moved out. All had violence, robbery, car and home brake inns. I just moved out last year. Moving my business out of San Francisco next year. It’s become a giant septic tank.
Spreading the “positive” misinformation for sure! Thank you Mayor Breed!
Nice lady. Says the right things. Has no idea how to actually get things done, though.
Saying and doing are two different things
Yup! It’s all lip service. Like her lips flip when she lies.
Ask and you shall receive is a hard lesson for a black female to get. Ya got the money honey so use it! (Musconism makes the city fearful of holding a Mayor's reins too tight)
Liar
She isn't very smart. What university did she even go to???
Hilton decides not to pay on their hotel downtown. Office vacancy is unsustainable. Businesses leaving San Francisco if not California all together. Homelessness. Open drug use. Violent crime up. Robbery & property crime epidemic. Stores closing left & right.
Yeah, I have faith in politicians with "Pretty words & phrases."
Lol, somehow we all doubt that.
Tell mayor go to 7th and mission street take a look what we saw yesterday was disgusting city people are doing drug and so dirty.
They're gonna have to eat their words because all the grocery stores have packed up and moved away...
Yeah in San Francisco 8th and market you had Chase Bank and whole foods closed while she's talkin you can go see for yourself if you drive down Hyde Street start at O'Farrell Street and head toward market Street keep driving to 8th and mission you can see with your own eyes that there is a major problem something is not right this lady here has to be removed and replaced by another Democrat
It would be nice if you would upload the full interview unedited, and ask tougher questions.
I've lived in the Tenderloin for nine months now. It's been the same playground for the hoard of walkers, the dealers, the muscle car drivers and more the whole time. And now that Whole Foods (Market and 8th) has finally closed because of the looting, the hoard is all over the Tenderloin, at the moment, instead of down on Market near their former hot spot.
So, I can hear London's tone deaf attitude especially well. So many things could be done. How about forcing the 24 hour (in)convenience stores and donut shops and the rest to close at 10 p.m.? How about unmarked police cars patrolling the neighborhood to catch these moronic muscle car drivers stunting all day long? How about taking everything the dealers have every single day until they leave... if the city won't prosecute them? How about bringing back the penal colony? How about real restrictions for receiving any kind of welfare, and having it docked to pay fines? How about deporting anyone living on the street who is from out of state... or demanding their home state pay for their stay?
Well said I agree totally what you said, I was born and raised in the Mission, I couldn’t take anymore I moved Boulder Co, It’s peaceful hardly any crime, we have zero crime no camping in the streets, I do miss SF , I great childhood there in the 80s I was proud to from San Francisco, I so wish the city gets it together!😊
The Mayor will probably close the streets for sanctioned sideshows. She generally supports any activities related to the BLM.
You have to understand that something is broken before you fix it. Sounds like she's in somewhat of a denial. It's a shame. In the 60's everyone wanted to be there, now people can't wait to leave.
That’s why we should vote with logic, not feelings.
Hard to change the perception, when it's based on reality. I felt so bad for a customer of mine He was a tourist from Brazil and had 3 rental car windows smashed during his 5-day stay. on a different occasion, we had almost every customer in our parking hit with smash and grabs in a 5-10 minute window. Meanwhile, my rent is high, My insurance is insane, and out of the 5 break-ins I had the cops did nothing. Even when we could locate unique goods of ours being sold by people matching the video footage of the break in the cops didn't want to do anything because they were hawking the goods in Berkely.
Mayor, the reason you don't see these problems is because you don't hang out in the problem areas.
Ask her real questions like why was her boyfriend indicted and she wasn’t for embezzling money ,
😮😮😮
Omg the nerve she has to say crime is down when no one is reporting crimes for the longest time. No one shows up. People is tired of writing reports for no one to read. This woman is sick and in denial
Just another Lori Lightfoot incompetent as can be!
Maybe she will end up like Lightfoot! Losing reelection in a landslide 😂
@@harrywang6222 And the morons who elected her will elect someone just as bad or worse!
born & raised here 49 years... this city has become a dump & there's no hiding that.
I work in SF every day....its miserable! Mayor Breed has rose colored glasses on... crime and dope fiends everywhere! It's your fault and no one else's!!
Month after this, Nordstrom closed, Walgreens closed, Old Navy closed, her makeshift public meeting at UN Plaza got shut down with a brick thrown and etc etc etc. So who’s eating who’s words?
I parked at Glen Park
Got broken into
This is fact, not PR
I used to live in SF, and used to go there all the time
I now avoid.
I had to go last December, and did a security check
Route, where to park, remove everything of value from car, secure my smart phone wallet in secure zippered pockets
Made sure the area we went to was secure
Certainly not like the old days
I avoid going downtown. It is not safe.
She can say crime is down because much of what used to be a crime has been decriminalized and most of what is still a crime is not being prosecuted and voila on paper crime is way down.
It is not considered a crime when shoplifting and looting is allowed.
She is totally out of her mind. SF gets what they deserve.
THAT'S the mayor? NOW it all makes sense!🤣🤣
Homeless are out of control
What about the children seeing all of this NASTINESS? People doing drugs like fentanyl and meth on the streets is OUTRAGEOUS. People are doing whatever they want with NO consequences....they said they would give 5 citations and then treatment? For the last 6 months I have NOT seen even ONE citation and I am living downtown. People are getting violent and situation is WAY out of control. She has asked for help on these issues about 2 years TOO LATE!
Imagine actually voting for that woman 😂
This is what happens when you vote based on equality of outcome vs equality of opportunity 🤷🏻♂️
This is what happens when you vote for a woman! 😂
I feel sorry for tourist coming to San Francisco only to be robbed. I've seen it numerous times when I was working at the car rental. They would say there was nothing police can do but only make a report. So sad what happen to the city those people would never comeback.
She is blind. Sf and Oakland are very very unsafe cities.
Dolores park held a hunky Jesus hot Mary contest..insulting the religious community.
They’ll meet their eternal fate one day
Its not a perception issue. Its a lack of accountability and the police not doing their jobs.
It’s easy to not be a victim. Always pay attention to surroundings, carry mace/a taser, train in Brazilian jiujitsu. most people in the city are never victims. Mostly only the imports.
Well you do know you don't need those in a safe neighborhood
How about they do their job to protect citizens instead of all these nonsense u thought about?
Blaming victims. . We know it's you London. Try again
They don't have to paint SF in a negative light. It just takes being alive to understand what is happening.
Crime and the perception of crime are related to one another. This is the kind of cutting edge reporting we expect from ABC7.
Forget san Fransisco 😂 I refuse to even go to America entirely
Whole Foods left after a year.
She is correct in that thousands of people showed up in Japan Town and Dolores Park over the past weekend. Mostly locals enjoying tradition yearly events, with no criminals elements.
Too bad we can't have a festival like that in The Sunnydale Housing Projects.
@@chinatownboy7482 add bay view hunters point to that.
@@michaelphilipoliver2466wel, l it is their sanctuary, afterall
@@chinatownboy7482 they do have festive stuff every Friday or Saturday. The police throw a community bbq with music and play basketball where you at?
Been six months. I'm getting hungry. I need more words to eat. So, how about it?
They keep voting for her. They deserve this
You will never catch me spending my hard earned dollars there. It really is a cesspool.
The Tenderloin needs to be released from the laws that keep it a low-income housing district. The amount of money the city loses in tourism and conventions each year becuase of the Tenderloin is far greater than what will be lost if it loses it's low-income protections.. let them all go over to Oakland.
Be careful... Chicago has never been the same since they tore down public housing. The criminal elements dispersed throughout the region (along with the crime).
AGREE
@patr70, you are so mean and messed up wanting to push people out of a place where they lived in San Francisco longer than you have. You don't even know there story!
@@ZattyZatts Tough! The amount of damage to Tourism and Convention isn't worth the pay-off.
@@ZattyZatts Do you live in the area? Do you have personal experience with the area? I moved to the area a decade ago and from my 30th story hotel room in Union Square I couldd see an endless series of fights between the homeless. Somone would get knocked out, shot, or stabbed. The ambulance would arrive and take the person away while the crowd took the property of the injured.
The place/streets are not fit for wild animals let alone humans.
The Mayor mirrors many of the citizens..in denial and unaccountable..I left SF a few mos ago after 10 years...these officials need to all go..ONLY if citizens wake up to reality..a big IF....
London Breed is falling down, failing down, falling down.
Meta is gone. Salesforce is gone. Market Street corridor is a ghost town now. ... This piece of work is really something.
Drinking prime with a mustache is like taking a lid off, but there’s still a lid
I live downtown San Francisco, and I am married a woman named Breedlove
SF has been in decline for at least three decades.
If property crime is decriminalized, then there is less crime. Problem solved.
She’s been mayor for five years now. Things have steadily gone downhill in the past five years and now she’s decided there’s a problem.?? Lmao
Talks like a doer...Walks like a talker...
Her whole family is a piece of work. I had the unfortunate encounter with her sister. I took her job because she was let go due to incompetence.
This woman knows nothing
Talk is cheap, fix the homeless, crime n drug addicts. U don’t need a committee to figure this out. Unless u fix these problems, retailers n tourists won’t come back
Tourists have quit coming here as well...The only words that will be eating will be yours, you fail your job, and you fail the people of SF as well...
Statistics are down because you changed definitions of crime and what, thought nobody would notice?
This woman destroyed San Francisco, she just talks and talks looking for excuses and does nothing. Arresting dealers and putting a strong hand against criminals would be a good start,
We need to elect a new mayor
San Franciscans get who they vote for!
How do we end up voting again and again for the wrong people?
Sadly, SF will probably re-elect both this mayor to another term and Nancy Pelosi to a 20th term.
If you gaslight the public; you have solved all of the problems 🤡
The city is dying, and the mayor is still watching and doing nothing at all. Shame on you!
This aged well, lmao. 😅🤣😂
the rate is not going down, ppl are just getting away with it
She's Delusional, I suggest ongoing therapy immediately
