President Trump on San Francisco: "“It is not even recognizable lately. Something must be done before it is too late.” (heroin, drug)

I will admit it is a very wealthy city for the time being due to large amounts of venture capital and equity flooding the city because of the artificially low interest rates. So I guess credit should be given for many of the companies that are best snack-oil salesman companies in the history of the world.
However, amazing how San Francisco ignores the homeless crisis, ignores the many people dying from heroin addictions and looks the other way and could care less about vulnerable people who are disabled.
There has never been and never will be a city that ignores it's social problems like Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco.
However, San Francisco is a good guide to what Democrats want: A percent of the population equity billionaires from being great salesman, politicians and city workers who make a massive fortune with huge pensions and a massive, exploited, massive underclass trying to do all they can to avoid sleeping on the cold, cloudy, raw streets of San Francisco in a city that ignores vulnerable seniors and disabled.

It's high time these politicians who supposedly represent their districts be taken to task for what they have done for their people? What Trump says is on everybody's mind. It's just that he is the only one who says it. Of course, this sort of behavior was supposed to sink his election.

It may be rich, but it is filthy. It has really gone downhill since the 80s. Our medical organization, which had its annual meeting there every third year, stopped doing meetings there after MANY complaints about SF from its members.
In the 80s, it was really a pretty nice town. Now I have no desire to go back, except to fly into the airport and head north. There are very few ethnic people in the former ethnic neighborhoods, which kind of made the town interesting.
Perhaps mother nature will do us a favor and dump it into the ocean, such that we can start over with a clean slate.
My sister lives there. The downtown is terrible. Most of the people labeled "homeless" are not even from there. Many are drug addicted transients that live in tents and some mentally ill who refuse shelter when offered.
The "Homeless Industrial Complex" as I have heard it labeled there is a big business. I don't have figures for SF but Seattle is spending 1 Billion a year on the homeless issue. (works out to be $100K per person)
The situation is not safe, sanitary or sane. Unfortunately this same issue is creeping into smaller towns all around America and ruining them too.
Trump wants to bring his brand of tyranny to "save" SF?
