California politicians don't want to house hundreds of thousands of criminals, many of whom are minorities.

Ronald Reagan didn't want to house schizophrenics and closed all mental institutions. Now, they roam streets and shout to women and children, "I'll kill you!"

In some cases of course. I have seen crazy people but this is the direct result of drugs. I was always opposed to prohibition but this is lopsided and there is no answer for it now except clamp down.

Yep, the $950 limit PER DAY is a big reason for the chaos.

I've seen people try and push a shopping cart filled with food out the door at Safeway without paying.

When stopped they grab a couple of items and leave. It's a misdemeanor offense. Unless someone is violent what is the point in calling the police?

It shouldn't be too much longer until they only things left in San Francisco are homeless drug addicts and liberal politicians.
Hard to say which one is worse.

Market St & 8th St

The Whole Food's manager who decided to open a store at that corner is stupid.

The Federal Office Building where government officials work is right across the street. Hundreds of the homeless surround it.
All stores on Market St barricaded their windows.

Who wants to go to a store for the rich and find stinky persons in the store who touch tomatoes and grapes that the rich are supposed to eat?
Click on this posters link, turn right and you'll see a city bus.

Arrow click past the bus and look right, welcome to San Fran.

Clearly the problem must be Whole Foods, or the internet or whatever excuse Dejour is floating around.

This link will save you the time of navigating.

Garbage everywhere, dude with no shoes and looks like leg sores etc.

Just walk around the blocks folks, take it all in.

If you don't know the downtown SF area... the sidewalks you see in the link provide a good idea. (Just looking at the sidewalks is such a downer.)

In fact there are worse areas as you head further downtown.

They had a state bill to lower the limit to 400 and charge repeat offenders. But the bill 'died' in a one party leftist/progressive state. Go figure.

One party control more important that helping businesses and citizens in their state.

The shoplifting is a gateway or enabling crime which perpetuates other things including drug abuse, homelessness and other crimes committed by those wondering the streets shoplifting for 'a living'.

SFPD police don't make arrests for shoplifting because they know the DAs won't prosecute those crimes.

Also pan to the middle of the street. Check out the guy in the wheelchair who appears to be using his feet. Pretending to be disabled has always been one of the more popular scams in SF.
