Useless words from a worthless politician.
Stop complaining about literally anything
No offence, but when I see this mayor, I don't think she got elected because of competency
I call her Laughing Sal.
Gotta hit them quotas
Diversity hire.
@@jmah5553I agree. Affirmative action stinks. The US is one of the least rascist countries. The white girls date me here 😂...it's about wealth and knowledge and spirituality...that's what makes you rich and above this stupid shit.
Thats the same thing I said about Donald Trump in 2016! Ironic isn't it?
Finally someone is suing the city.
In most cases its not the best idea to put the people who caused a problem in charge of fixing it.
Better get on the phone to Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi, then.
The Tenderloin was the known drug use area when I lived in California, and that was in the late 1990's.
I first visited SF in 1971. The Tenderloin was already notorious. The present state of things shows what happens when you let evil prevail.
The LORD loves His people! He PREACHED through me in the Tenderloin in the early 90's. The folks there threw bottles at me in return for the love! Some slapped my Bible from my grasp...(MANY times, till the cover was ruined! The LORD had me cover it to match outfits He taught me to make. One man said, "Watch! Everything she wears matches her Bible!" They never attacked it again!) In the Tenderloin I was threatened with a baseball bat! But nothing could by any means hurt me! After nearly a year, the LORD ended my stint, but sent a man He'd saved in Folsom prison to continue the work. I met him! As I was drinking tea in Woolworth's a lady said, "Hi! I want you to meet somebody! He preaches RIGHT where YOU used to preach!" He sat down with me and told me GOD had saved him and filled him with the HOLY GHOST in prison, then took him to Jones and Goldengate after I left! Even now, GOD is not finished with His people! Expecting a MIGHTY REVIVAL to break out in the skid rows of America! IN THE NAME OF JESUS! ST JOHN 3:16! 🙏🏼🙌🏼❤️✝️❤️
HALLELUJAH! ✝️✝️✝️
she still a trash ass mayor. Taking pictures with well known pimps drug pushers and tells the police to not do anything to get homeless off the streets. Everyone knows by now SF is camouflaging meth cookers and dealers as homeless people. SF politicians and it's residents have known of this since the 80s. It's all a cover up to keep people buying drugs and keep them under the illusion of control. All SF residents like to have this youth minded drug abusing mentality because they never grew out of fitting in. Everything that goes on in SF is based on keeping up with the latest fads and trends. There's not a on switch in SF peoples brain that says grow up the party is over. YOUR NOT 15 ANYMORE.
Not accessible for wheelchairs or persons with disabilities.
The mayor is BLIND.
but but ... according to the Mayor's office, stats don't lie, she must be doing a good job - burglaries are down in the past couple of years thanks to her initiatives? Hmmm ... like defunding and restricting the police, ignoring the security of large numbers of small and large businesses. A huge number are abandoning ship, shutting down or leaving the city and in some cases State altogether. Doesn't that also mean that the number of potential targets of crime are no longer there to be robbed? Similar claims are being made by Oakland's mayor. Here's the real reason burglaries are down in SF (and Oakland), they are just going up elsewhere in the Bay Area as the criminals widen their areas of operation. Personal robberies, vehicle theft and home invasions on the other hand continue to rise!!!
Nope. She is DEMOCRAT!
Keep voting democrat and your city will end up like San Francisco
Breed is CORRUPT just like all of her constituents!
@@mpwaterhouse You need to add your comment as its own instead hidden under the guy's as a response. It has merit and will be seen more.
Funded by Soros.
It's unbelievable Mayor has done something to be called "proud of"...
yup, she said she's proud, I heard that
Politicians turn a blind eye to these issues!!! Vote them out!!!
Democrats turn a blind eye.
@@user-lf5bm5tm1qNope he said it right politicians. People need to stop with the my party is better than your party BS. Both was on that Epstein island and both didn't care what political party they was from so just stop.
@@user-lf5bm5tm1q No, they enable the junkies that end up homeless.
London Breed just talks and says a lot of stuff but it doesn't materialize into anything tangible. All talk.
Lip service….words with no meaning….
Stop complaining and do something productive. Get your act together. Improve yourself and shut up.
Its Called impeding the walkways
SF needs a new mayor
Why aren't politicians and US billionaires supporting us?
They don't have to live in these conditions so they don't care. All they care about is votes. Stop voting for them! Vote against them
Because they don’t live in these neighborhoods.
That's such a great question. 🔥
Because shut up. That's why
Well the politicians don't have a reason to care. It won't affect their voter base regardless of how bad things get. I don't see why the billionaires would care either. They don't live there.
SF does not care about its citizens. The wokeness of the Mayor and Board of Supervisors have killed this once great city. YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR.
It seems like politicians care about the very rich and the very poor. Everyone else gets screwed.
That must be why San Francisco’s population is once again growing, unlike much of the rest of Cal. You’re a politically motivated hate monger.
Killed? San Francisco is dead? Did Fox News tell you that? Even at its worst, SF has more to offer than whatever pathetic burb you exist in can ever offer.
What’s truly pathetic is how you, as an American, are so hoping to see the ruination of an American city just because they don’t share your hateful world view.
They care about the rich only. The avenues, west portal, st Francis wood, noe valley and other rich neighborhoods are VERY protected by SFPD
Quit whining. Be better
Drug and homelessness are societal issues. It's cute how people with money think they're separate from society.
What's your solution for that?
@@vintagemotorcyclerepair4052 8 billion minds on the planet have thought about it, and you think the answer is with me. I'm flattered.
how about voting out dean preston?
Yes, that's a good idea!
Mayor: "One of the things that I am really proud of is what we've been able to do to a certain extent deal with the challenges in the daytime...." blablabla. Imaging saying such a long sentence without any information....
London is proud? She should be ashamed and sued.
Mayor is real good at tossing that useless word salad.
I don’t understand why they feel like people want to walk in the street because they can’t walk on the sidewalk due to drugs and unsafe conditions. I’m surprised someone with the disability has not sued yet because I’m not sure how they were able to move a wheelchair about when people are building up mini mansions on the sidewalks.
We’re seeing some improvements…..none listed. How about you clean the streets and keep it clean.
"Driving out the homeless people" is only going to make them move to other places. Build more housing and encourage people to get clean. They just passed measures a couple months ago to do just that, it would be nice if they actually managed to get it done
Exactly. They need to get moved to places with a lower cost of living. There is zero chance a homeless drug addict in San Francisco is magically going to turn their life around overnight and somehow be able to afford a $2500+/month studio apt; however, if they get sent to rural Utah to work on a ranch it is a much smaller leap to be able to afford a $350/mo bunk as they work their way back into society.
The city government wouldn't put up with it in Nancy's neighborhood.
Improve yourself and shut up.
They don't. Try setting up a tent there.
Oh is that why a man was able to enter her home & attack her husband Paul w/ a hammer, fracturing his skull in front of the police b/c he managed to smartly get a call out to them? 🙄 Even the Presidio has problems. The criminals don't respect geographic boundaries.
New Mayor ASAP
Imagine taxpayers demanding decent living conditions.
Also remember many of you right now are one paycheck away from living on the streets. Everyone on the streets are not drug users.
I am surprised by the residents' enduring an unsanitary and unsafe living environment for so long.
Many can't get out. They are trapped there. The condos won't sell.
City Enables crime when they dont punish anyone....
This should've been done a long time ago, either sue the government or refuse to pay taxes. If the government is unwilling to do its job, the people have the right to push back. The government works for the people, not the other way around.
I don't blame the Santa Clara 49ers for moving 50 miles away to get away from that dumpster fire
East Hastings in Vancouver does the same thing . No laws apply in this exclusion zone
What is happening in the Tenderloin is unrepairable and overpopulated, which is the major cause for the deterioration of Union Square. Homelessness / drug addiction is not an easy fix, mental institutions and prisons are at full capacity and costly. Drug cartels had succeeded in being the only ones to benefit from the sale of narcotics and now the mega millionaires, however our legal system is limited, and cannot prosecute or conduct investigations due to constitutional rights of unlawful search and seizures. Government is overwhelmed and cannot stop the smuggling of drugs to America. Americans like to feel good and cannot tolerate pain, consequently wishing to get high all the time. USA is a high-pressure society, not everyone has the self-assurance to pursue their dream and fail, resulting in criminal activities, mental illness, or drug addiction. Unfortunately, overdoses or poor health is one of the ways of shrinking their existence, it's sad, but it is the truth.
How do i join this law suit? I also live in the TL
The city has always treated the Tenderloin as a containment zone. This is not new.
I'm always amazed at articles like this. Where exactly do working citizens want the drug addict homeless to go? It's their city too. They can live their life too, can't they? Just take care of yourself and pay attention to your own life. Geeze.
Homeless addicts. Child molesting SUV drivers. It's all about looks.
The rest of the "developed" world has solved this problem. First if you use drugs on the open you go into prison or treatment facility. Then living on the streets should be illegal. It's totally nuts that the police allow people live on tents on city streets! But yea they need to live somewhere so we should build more social housing.
How is it “their city too?” Do they pay taxes for the street cleaning, police, infrastructure, fire department, or hospitals? Do they look out for fellow citizens and property owners? Do they contribute to commerce and social activity? Do they support local athletics and arts? These people are struggling and need to go where they will have the best chance at survival, recovery, and reassimilation. Tough love is infinitely more valuable and effective than ignorant coddling.
Breed will automatically say is “we are making progress blah blah” Breed and Brown are the only ones who like Tederloin
Here’s a google fact;
The area got its name from the bribing of cops.
It's literally a matter of public safety, these residents have to live in terror, being terrorized, because london breed dont give an F, it's not soley her fault though as those before her were no better. The tenderloin has been a bad place for a long time
In other words the police don't do shit!
Really? Now is when they want to fix it?
Not yesterday?
Not last week, last year, last decade?
Calling bull$hit on their motives.
San Fran residence must approve of what the mayor is doing, she still in office & haven’t gotten recalled
She has a pretty low approval rating
Expand that lawsuit to SOMA too
Yesss!
London Breed only ever talks about alleged "successes" she never talks about what is existing and why we don't actually see change, she literally even on her IG account ONLY focuses on what she believes are positive things, NOTHING at all negative.
San Francisco is hurting , sad . Politicians never take responsibility . The mayor is bad joke , DA sucks .
San Francisco motto is just say yes to drugs
NBC reporters are the best at cheerleading for the politicians.
It's all the same everywhere.
What an amazing mayor! London Breed is an inspired politician and a role model to aspiring leaders all over the US in general and the Bay Area in particular.
Mayor is nigh incompetent and facing an impossible challenge. Tough combo
Facts
This mayor is the worst ever don't do nothing to change this horrible situation
Um you knew where you were moving and or doing business.
Any self-respecting journalist would demolish Mayor Breed's ludicrous boasts during this crisis. However, there are few journalists who take the canons of journalism seriously. Incompetent politicians cannot get elected without that support.
Remove sanctuary status in our city! Remove the cartels, remove the drugs, remove the homeless, remove the criminals, remove the government officials!
1:49 i do not believe it.
The Mayor is 'proud' of the work and progress? Good god... and I guess deserved. smh
that's not very tolerant of these residents
I wouldn’t be proud of anything if I was in her position.
oh yea, her brother is coming out this year right?
the fall of Babylon.
Good! It's about time taxpayers demand to be able to use what they pay for. Enough of catering to drug addicts and people who don't want to work.
Change title to “full”, now you’re journalisming
These politicians only care about their own little world. Nothing is changing.
👍👍👍
👏
They could care less
It’s about time. I’ve lived in the TL for nearly 30 years and it’s never been this bad. Mind you, the very name of the district refers to a skimming of shakedown money corrupt machine era cops took from area businesses up until the 1960s police reforms (see Clubber Williams NYC 1870).
Nobody is asking SF officials to build Auschwitz West, or anything close, but when we elect them to fix the City’s problems, they lecture us about the humanity of the addicts and homeless.
The activists are even worse, fighting one man wars against capitalism and gentrification; snd more concerned with their own perceived marginalization, they use the street population as pawns in a fight with their own mental landscape, shooting down every solution presented.
Just because we aren’t as backward as Louisiana doesn’t make us liberal, let alone progressive.
Fix the damned problem.
How clear is Pelosi’s sidewalk? 🤷♂️
Tender loin looks like the stankey leg
Well if they start dispensing Narcan some of the drug users would correct itself... just saying.
Anyone remember "no loitering" laws? 😂 What a far cry from those days.
Unhoused?
Don’t we already have a word for that? 🤔
I’m sure you meant homeless.
Stop trying to police other people's language. People have the right to freedom of expression so shut the hell up.
Technically, anyone who doesn't have a stable address (people between homes, couch surfing) might be considered homeless. Unhoused refers specifically to the people who are, well, unhoused and on the streets.
@@123goldenlily homeless
@@BT_Spanky Unhoused is a subset of the homeless population dipstick.
Dudes lets be honest. San Francisco is an old city if it wasnt Optimum during the gold rush ,its speak easys, pot, etc. Its a city what do u expect. And one big city that doesnt have the issues mentioned. The problem is u concentrate enough wealth in an area the easier it is to live on the street. Hand outs and nice things to steal.😂 I bought a bottle in Frisco that cost double what it would in a smaller city. Had to pay alot for parking. Who the real criminal here. And who need to change.
The Mayor is “ really proud of what she’s been able to accomplish” just like Joe look where we were three years ago, and look where we are today together we can accomplish what I started.
She is proud of what
Remove the Mayer.
Repeal Prop 47
Basically all this homeless is really due to housing price Gouging. Your welcome
Yack
Wait... I though CALIFORNIA was the containment zone for the rest of the United States? I'm good with that. Isn't this what CA votes for every single time?
Audit.
💙🫂👍
Vote her out
You voted for this so shut up
I don't understand why American cities allow drug use and living on the streets. That's insane.
I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who lives in SF: they voted for this!
They need to arrest these homeless drug addicts
Sue the city government for the failures of the policies you voted for. Only in California…and New York!
I'm curious anyone who lives in Sanfran... how do you feel about the mayor there?
Vote London Breed out!! She says a lot… where is the proof?!?
I will not vote for her
Recall London Breed hahahahaha
~ That’s 1 Million Percent Correct ... how else do You explain ... Law enforcement around the City...... Wile the TL it just goes on, right out in the Open. thats a No - Brainer, keep the behavior out of Pacific Heights and we cool...
Residents are going to vote London Breed to the office again. Sad
Have you seen those interviews of homeless people, some are not homeless, they just come to the streets to get high with like minded people, others don't want to get help - they like their environment. The major cities across the nation has eroded so much and it's ashame that the law and government doesn't do anything but give them "safe needles" - is that "safe"???
HAMSTERDAM! 😆
Darn hamsters...
The Lawyer is scamming the City. Sick of this type of tactics.
I wanna file a lawsuit myself i need the money so i can support my fentanyl drug habit 😃
They sue whom they voted for?
