2. Places where ORC is a scourge have differing liberal and conservative political personalities, and even different types of governance altogether.
Define scourge. Top ten?

3. Therefore :. Any single political ideology is not the causation of ORC.
You softened your conclusion quite a bit, i.e. moved the goalposts. What was wrong with "politics is in no way responsible for the rise of criminal opportunists in SF"? It is a direct quote of yours.

Rofhmfslmfao … this is just you joking right?

#1 … it’s an “important qualifier” how? What the top 10 have in common is: they are big cities … they do not all share similar political personalities.

#2 Scourge = Big problem. You could look that up yourself.

#3 I am trying variations in phrasing because you apparently don’t understand the obvious. But, since you asked, here, back to the original: Politics is in no way responsible for the rise of criminal opportunists in SF.

Happy now? Lololololololol

Brother, if you had 50 different kinds of rotten fruit on a table in front of you in a variety of different colors … could we agree that the colors: yellow, red, green, purple, orange were not the cause of the rot?

Too funny.

And another violent robbery in Chinatown.

I've read some people complaining, why don't these people fight back. Well, you see what can happen, people tried to fight back here and were shot for it.

This made it onto SFGate but without much additional information: https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article...s-16376862.php

I was curious to read about it from a more local perspective, but I popped onto the Oaklandside website and they don't cover it at all. Oaklandside is run by a bunch of "progressive" journalists, so it really goes to show how a vocal segment of the population does NOT want to discuss or do anything about crime, especially crime targeting our vulnerable Asian population, because the perps are often African Americans.

Fascinating to see that Oakland's elected representatives have decided to support African American criminals over Asian American victims. City Councilmember Loren Taylor had the audacity to stand right there and say it at a press conference in Chinatown. When will Oakland voters wake up? https://www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/...e-16378301.php

More problems in Oakland...
https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/art...a-16383882.php

And some corruption in Contra Costa County involving the DA and an Antioch city councilmember (who was not qualified to sit on Richmond's police "reimagining" task force but did anyway)...

San Francisco families no longer 'feel safe,' hire private security amid crime spree

More than 150 families living in San Francisco have hired private security to patrol their streets amid brazen property crimes, with some saying they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhood.

"We don’t feel safe in our neighborhood," resident Katie Lyons, told CBS SF. "And we have an alarm, we have cameras on our property, but we want the extra security of having someone have eyes on our place."

Lyons and other families hired patrol special officer Alan Byard to help patrol the streets of the city’s Marina District following repeated instances of car break-ins and home burglaries.
