Imagine decriminalizing theft and then wondering why businesses want to leave lmao
they voted for this and they got exactly that
No one voted for this. People voted their trust in politicians and officials who turned on them,
@@JennyWren333 as if people did not know beforehand the orientation of the politicians i.e. towards what side they were leaning? i.e. how nutjob they were? either that or the people did not care because it did not affect them personally and now that it does they started caring for it, and you know what such people are called right?
@@shalomsobji5448 trump worshippers and the deluded masses. Anyone who trusts any politician needs a lesson in logic and reasoning. Our votes are literally used to choose the least offensive among them though in doing so we open ourselves up for entirely new ways of getting screwed without even getting kissed first.
Imagine still thinking diversity is our strength
Total crime is not down... total reported crime is down. Residents are smart enough to know that police will not respond to the majority of crimes so they have stopped calling.
Its not like you support police
Seems like yesterday you wanted social workers and defund and were ok with looting and burning over criminals
You deserve this mess
Enjoy diversity our strength
Same in other high-crime cities!
The mayor does not see any issue with the crimes being committed. She thinks there is no increase. She is far removed from reality.
Worth repeating...
The faces of the lawmakers who created a bill that decriminalizes (legalizes) stealing under $950 should be put on all billboards throughout the city. That will start a conversation and agitate for accountability.
Unless they change their voting habits, nothing will change !
blame the voters. they voted for it. why are they even making these news videos? sympathy? next election you can vote for change. you dont want change? then dont be mad when your city is the next detroit.
Each "experts" interviewed in this video probably voted for those who are responsible for the city's collapse.
R.I.P. CALIFORNIA
When you basically legalize crime under $1,000.00, what do you expect.
City and State Voters are to blame.
Mayor London Breed is a THUG. Her sister died of a drug overdose, and her brother is serving a 44 yr sentence for Manslaughter and Robbery and London Breed has used her power to get his sentenced reduce and you wonder why San Francisco has been taken over by THUGS???
Well when you pay like a punk and the house is a million dollars good luck..
You got a point there.
I think if you have a record of drug addiction and stealing, you have to go to a forced facility to detox. It is not about personal freedom anymore because you are affecting the community detrimentally.
Crime will not only destroy a city or a state, but also the whole country. Common sense isn't common anymore.
So does domestic terrorism and hero worship by trumptards
It took almost 250 years to build this once great city, but it took just a blink of an eye to tear it down.
I have lived in sf, my husbands business is sf Richmond district.
The reason why “crime has gone down 12%” is because people do not report crimes that have happened to them from businesses and theft, to- mugging , to car break ins. This is a FACT
Most crimes are under $950 and the police do nothing.
Also if you live in SF and own a biz, how have you NOT paid off any property?
Thank you Governor Newsom! Don't come around SF anymore!!
Beware. if you come here to vacation or visit this is a no law free for all city, watch your back and your money and anything else you treasure, there are meth heads dope heads thieves criminals and dirty streets all over the city, the sidewalks smell of piss very bad on a warm day, there are homeless people living on the sidewalks and streets, not a lot of fun to look at when you are trying to enjoy a meal in a restraint, you feel bad eating in front of them ,when you are out sight seeing you are on your own the criminals own these streets, come by a rent car if you can because it will get vandalized.if you are brave enough to eat at a restaurant be careful all that piss on the sidewalks gets dragged in by peoples shoes ,keep in mind no law free for all, expect the unexpected at all times even when you are sleeping if you are brave enough to rent a hotel. wishing you the best and hope you make it out safe. yes I do live here.
LAWLESSNESS
Can you name the neighborhoods that you're seeing this? I didn't think so
Just don’t come here. The mayor is trying to stop small businesses from flourishing. They want to choke tourism and create a safe haven for the homeless using the vacant buildings. It is all about the votes and turning a paradise into hell. The government using our hard earned tax dollars against us.
@CalvinMorris-cf8jk Same thing with Seattle.
@@dogsense3773 Get off BART at either the Powell Street or Civic Center stations, walk around a few blocks, and you will understand very quickly what the OP is saying.
Politicians make laws and policies that influence behavior, businesses respond, politicians claim "unintended consequences" when it should have been obvious. Then they propose massive spending to solve the problems they created and the media applauds them.
SFPD: let's go shut down elon musk changing his sign
SFPD: should we maybe do something about stealing.. nah lol
The problem with Sf is its voters!!!
and diversity
City and State Voters are to blame
@@silentmajority8365 Well that was irrelevant and random.
Diversity is just different people, it's neither good or bad so quit blaming different people for the problem.
What needs to happen is a lot of these people need to be documented, finger printed, sent back to their state, imprisoned for 2 years with a focus on compassionate rehabilitation.
Absolutely correct how do you solve a problem without knowing how big it is. They are trying to plug a hole made with a canon ball blown into a sinking ship blindfolded and using a bandaid
THEY ARE DEPOPULARIZING THESE CITIES FOR FUTURE NUKE ATTACKS...
Can't deport US citizens. And CA won't deport foreign nationals.
Carrots and sticks are the only effective way with dealing with problems like this. All sticks was a failure for centuries, but now places like San Francisco (my hometown btw) have proven that offering only carrots for decades only creates a dystopian wasteland. Responsible San Francisco residents need to grow up and understand that rights must be balanced with responsibilities.
Fact: Nothing will turn around until the rent is cheaper. Stop charging so damn much for rent and clean up the homeless problem.
I am a progressive ex-addict. We need to help those who are helping themselves. And let the rest die if so they so choose. Protect businesses, be tough on people who just want to use drugs and sleep on the street. We cannot co-exist with them, it will sink us all, even if the rest of us are doing the right thing. I know it's hard to get out of the pit of addiction and poverty. But if I did it, Anyone can do it. Do Not tell them they're victims. It will just give them the wrong message.
Too late! Too late you wake up from your drug-addled fever dream, too late.
People need a dose of reality from someone like yourself. You bring credentials most people don't have.
And we need to get rid of all the trumptards too 🤡👈
💙🇺🇲💙
I'm glad you're doing well. Keep speaking out about what works.
Amen
Police funding and school funding will be gone once these businesses disappear
At least you have diversity 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The even bigger funding problem is that tons of white collar workers and companies, especially those in tech, abandoned San Francisco with the shift to remote/hybrid work in 2020. The vacancy rate of commercial real estate is still at record levels across the country, and downtown restaurants and retail are suffering without all of that foot traffic from office workers.

Putting your faith in “we need” politicians gets you this.
Mayor London Breed is a THUG. Her sister died of a drug overdose, and her brother is serving a 44 yr sentence for Manslaughter and Robbery and London Breed has used her power to get his sentenced reduce and you wonder why San Francisco has been taken over by THUGS???
What's infuriating is how the homeless problem is being addressed now instead of 6 years ago when it was still absolutely horrible and inhumane. Now that there is no money in the city.
Democratic policies are responsible for all this !
They need more money to attract the other 2/3 of the homeless. The goal is to house 100% of the nations homeless while taxing the people to pay for this. The homeless have more rights and programs than the tax paying citizens.
No money? What?!? How are they going to pay millions to our poor, abused black people?
THEY ARE DEPOPULARIZING THESE CITIES FOR FUTURE NUKE ATTACKS...
The mentally ill should be locked up, housed, given drugs and let out only if they prove they can care for themselves.
The only traffic in SF, drugs.
Such a beautiful city, really a shame. Hopefully the voters can get it together
Not planning a trip to San Fran anytime soon !!
When the new mayor is elected we might see change for the better.
THEY ARE DEPOPULARIZING THESE CITIES FOR FUTURE NUKE ATTACKS...
Not sure they can avoid voting Democrat.
San Francisco stole all of their architectural influence from England's victorian architecture. I know because this is the region of the world where I live.
Today's SF isn't a fluke of nature, or a mysterious random occurrence. A couple decades or three of political foolishness and questionable priorities are showing consequences.
I See absolutely NO hope for SF... IT is just third World City...😢😢😢😢
Detroit by the bay
The Mayor handles the drug problem by supplying needles to the users.
😂 you can't make this stuff up
The whole city is made up of ENABLERS!
Who made the 950 law? Got to be very proud of him or her.
Marxists...
@@paolo-n2000🎯
California voters approved this
I just can't believe the council members would pass a law as stupid as this. Were Californians given the chance to vote on this law or was it done at the council?
NY is following the exact same STUPID laws as CA but citizens don't get to vote on the law itself and they are passed secretly at the state/city level
gold, trade, banking n tech, i was fortunate to live during the banking days- was such a beautiful city ….hope the next re invention will prosper…
Total denial about why. They know why. SF is done
A goal without a plan is a wish - good luck!
I would not visit that city if you paid me.
San Francisco definitely needs new leadership. This mayor has to go.
In my town, people just pay for things they want.
Waiting for all of this to explode is, a little too late! All my friends and family have completely left California.
This nonsense is not acceptable, period.
Good luck
This is what happens when you ignore the homeless crisis and lack of housing now that it's effecting their pockets now they want to do something about it
Easy to said than done,overwelming of homeless were connected to drug addiction.sf could have make the firsr move by arresting the druf dealer.
The homeless are mostly drug addicts or mental health cases. Even if you gave them housing, they’d refuse or trash it and go back to getting high on the street. These people need rehab
@@Kimster182 and the award for the most ignorant mosquitoe goes to YOU congratulations. Not every homeless individual has mental health issues or drug problems and even if they did EVERYONE including mental and drug addicts are deserving of respect help and dignity funny how you don't put the same energy towards the multi billion dollar corporations who prescribe and offer perks to dr to prescribe more of their opoids which turns many individuals Into drug addicts plenty of rich celebrities are also drug addicts but I bet your behind warships and supports them without judging them the hypocrisy and level of ignorance you have is beyond sad
@@richardque4952 right so let's just abandon them and leave them on the street instead of building programs to help them hey maybe the next time you need help or get sick maybe your parents children or loved one's how about all the nurses and Dr just say nah it's his own fault
he's sick he should've taken better care of himself he's earned whatever awful thing that happens next
@@PrinceChris93 isnt this problem ,the problem of of there own government not the us taxpayer.
What is this mayor even doing to help everyday? I don’t live there locally but it doesn’t seem too much! Have they repealed that $950.00 law?
CAPITALISM! Landlords charge as much as they can and corporations pay as little as they can.
So basically i have a 900 dollar gift card for each store in San Francisco and it refills the next day, cool.
After moving from Dubai to San Francisco this what I realized.
Freedom = Total lawless
No, the stores rely on people paying for goods not walking in and stealing everything.
Crazy to say that the problem is only in the Tenderloin District.
if that is so, why are all the stores closed at the embarcado and fisherman's wharf??
Right?
Why just tell the truth legalizing drugs is a bad economic effect??? These politics are high when they create and pass laws.
Open Alcatraz back up.
Yeah and put a mall their so business owners can have a corporate navy.😂
The real problem is all of these mfrs, including the doofs in this video just ignore all the rampant theft and how their ridiculous policies enable it and drive away business while they sit on video and fail to convince the audience otherwise. It's over.
There's a lot of comments by people who don't understand the law. Theft was not decriminalized. Theft was not legalized.
Talk, Talk, Talk and More Talk from San Fransicko's mayor. How about some Serious ACTION...!
The ONLY people left will be the drug addicts and their dealers. Eventually, all of the rest of us will be smart enough or brave enough to move out of this pit...!
For a city that cost sooo much to live in, how could it turn into a sewer?
Do like the Texans and deport the Homeless elsewhere.
once they run out all the local business, the Trillion Dollar multinationals can buy it up cheap AF.
This has already happened to hundreds of American cities with no attention, so why should key cities get any sympathy that the rest never received ?
I can say this, it will never come back.
Cant blame them for not renewing their leases...the stench, open air drugs, robberies, shoplifting, homelessness, enabling the criminals, everyone pointing fingers...and of course, London's word salad..still in denial 😂😂😂
RIP SF.
If you voted Dem, you voted for this.
What's sad is no one speaks about the 5000 children that live in the tenderloin that can't walk out there apt to play outside because the adults refuse to create a plan that has a beginning and end to this problem. For over 25 years they have been hamsters on a wheel spending money and getting nowhere now voters, businesses and taxpayers are going to change that in the next election. If the current public servants don't listen then we need new ones that will
The "topography is hard to beat..."?!?!?
I dont understand why would people move to San Francisco, since housing is out of reach for many people. You also need to fix the sinking 47 story tower of pisa
But what about tourism? I use to visit San Francisco from Utah almost ever year and won’t go back because I don’t want my vehicle’s window broke….
Yooooo I done the same thing I carry narcan because when I go to work I seen ppl not breathing used it 2 so far
I missed Ed Lee, since he died SF never the same anymore.
Enabling self destructive behavior is sadly becoming a dominant trait in American culture, acknowledging that marks you as a bad person. 😢
Glad I got to see the city before this. Start enforcing criminal laws for real.
So sad for San Francisco
Solution: Death penalty for medium & large drug dealers of meth/crack/fentanyl, 1-2 year lockdown rehabilitation facility for drug addicts.
Should be $50 as the misdemeanor amount. CA is so backwards.
How would Singapore handle this situation?
They seem to like that type of lifestyle, or else they'd come up with better solutions to correct it.
The homeless people there quite literally have more rights than the law abiding citizen
This does not go on in small towns
Ok ! The mayor was recently partying in Maui! She needs to go!
Let’s Go Brandon!
Reminds me of my country Sweden, but this is worse
How does SF remind you of Sweden? Isn’t Sweden much cleaner and the people are law abiding citizens?
@@maryloubautista2317 Sweden's getting worse too, lots of murders and bombings, but mostly the bad politicians reminds me of Sweden. Mass immigration, not so many homeless as SF but im sure we're getting there.
I lived in SF for a year back in 2018 and it was bad then, I came back for vacation about a month ago and damn, what a dump y'all have voted your city into.
Place is completely lost.
Sometimes its just a (D)ifferent reason why a city fails.
And what has any political party really done positively for the people that isn't actually done by the free market?
Democrats want welfare but Republicans want the war on drugs which screws things up too.
Whereas the productive civilian is what really moves society forward by making and working businesses.
A worker can add value to your life, a politician can just take it away.
Therefore getting rid of politicians is the solution.
You get what you vote for. It wont ever change there.
As a hard core Democrat I’m starting to rethink my views. .-.
The answer is in the middle somewhere, it was never one sided.
Go after the pushers first. If you don't do that nothing will advance.
What a trainwreck.
SF, you refuse to elect a different political party, case closed.
Politics doesn't work period, freedom and the free market does.
The Republicans just want to spend your paycheck on foreign invention and the Democrats want to spend it on welfare.
The Libertarian Party just wants tax dollars spent on EMS and courts though that could be easily privatized too.
People being able to help each other through voluntary trade is what got society this far. Not "I'm a Republican and not a Democrat!" and vice versa.
Mayor doesn’t mention crime. Lol.
😱😳We have a very good Mayor in Seattle, so maybe San Franciscans need to elect a new Mayor!✅
Isn't Seattle also facing similar problems with homelessness, drug addiction and crime? What has the mayor done about that?
@@mafarnsims Our government had cleaned out downtown Seattle, our streets are filled of tourists, homeless persons have been moved to transitional homes. You can't find one homeless tent now in downtown Seattle.
You're just one more Dem moron/liar /ostrich to say you have a very good mayor in your crappy to the max city!!!
San Francisco is so dirty 🤮🤮
Breed is NOT HELPING🤢
2:51 Brandon
Previous DA chesa boudin should be jailed instead he’s now a teacher or director at uc Berkeley law school, what a joke.
wow so he's growing the progressive base so there will be more ppl like him, scary!
No place better
Love how they blame it on “Covid”. Did large cities like Austin and Nashville not experience “Covid”?
it's not an easy thing to solve. african americans dont want their people to get arrested at an high rate but they don't want to be victims.
tough to solve.
Charge drug dealers with manslaughter-and long sentences
What SF should do is legalize drug use, define all crime as mental illness, so no criminal is prosecuted, and replace law enforcement with social workers. That’s the formula for success.
Haha. Nice, I get the sarcasm. Good one
1. War on drugs has failed so drugs shouldn't be illegal period.
2. Agreed that that's stupid.
3. Agreed that that's stupid too though the police should be privatized.
you forgot to add, do away with all jails and release all criminals, that's what they have done in NY
Stop making up things, we literally have a big jail at the offramp going towards the bay bridge.
Behold "the meek" inheritance in action.
Blame it on the politicians. Not Covid. Blame it on the woke people. Not Covid.
Crime is down because no one calls the cops anymore....
It's not left policies necessarily. It's been a long time coming... CAPITALISM!
Turn around and depart
Turn around what... you asked for this. You smugly and proudly voted for it. You outright demanded it. So turn around WHAT.
Когда богатые богатеют, а бедные беднеют, происходит вот такое, а с развитием искусств. интеллекта эта проблема только усугубится.
The poor get poorer no because of money.but drug addiction.2/3 of the homeless were addict.
Temps are cooler than the rest of the country
Won’t change until they vote different.
#EndStageCapitalism
I'm waiting until rents drop so I can get in!
True. The rebuild will be a lot of fun!
that clown POC mayor singlehandedly in just a a couple of years destroyed this once booming city
