Libs decisions are made mostly from an emotional perspective, not a logical perspective.

San Fran losing its retailers is the result of making emotion-based decisions for decades. It leads to ruin.

After the emotion-based Libs destroy a city, many will leave and move to a conservative city/state where things are much better. They can't understand why the city they left went downhill, and why the conservative place they moved to is so much better.

They can't comprehend that its political policies that causes it all...they are blind to it. They can't be reasoned with, & are not open to the logical train of thought. They are closed minded & stubborn.

My relatives left San Fran in the 80's, and moved to Nevada. I used to visit San Fran as a tourist, but not now. Tourism there must be in decline, but the liberal media won't say so.
Major conventions have pulled out of SF. That started happening at least 5 years ago.

On and on it goes. Life in lawless San Francisco.

As you sow, so shall you reap.

I feel sorry for the people who did not vote for these policies. Proably not many of them left. I fled San Francisco in 2009.
There's the saying, elect a clown, expect a circus.

For San Francisco, I'm going to modify it. Elect a circus (I'm looking right at the Board of Supervisors) -- expect a fiasco.

Also I like the euphemism "Team Members". LOL - they are employees. There's no team....management runs the show and tells the employees what to do.

Correct. They're the cognitive equivalent of toddlers. Little to no rational thought.

The sad part is that they then make THE EXACT SAME MISTAKES in their new location, ruining everything there, too.

Any thought process that leads to a conclusion where you have to consider voting for a republican will simply not compute. They've been raised to believe that the GOP is "literally Hitler" and no matter how things get they'll never be as bad as "literally Hitler". And what's worse, a moderate dem trying to reign back the crazy a little just gets lumped in with the Hilters so the party isn't able to save itself in the primaries.

The thieves basically just ignore them and keep grabbing more stuff, usually in an aggressive manner to try to intimidate the worker. It seems so easy for them to just go in and steal, and after doing it a few times successfully, it just encourages them to keep at it.


This is not a situation that will improve without physical deterrents, consequences, etc. But it's San Fran, so good luck with that. The only logical option for a business that requires a profit to survive is to protect the merchandise be selling it in safer locations where these problems are minimal.


This whole situation is frustrating for everyone, even people who do not live in the community. A lot of people who steal go on to resale their ill gotten loot online, forcing honest merchants and retail chains to compete against stolen goods. It's unfair for everyone.
Gone are the days of the local "Mom and Pop" grocer who would unload a shotgun into your face if you tried to rob them of their livelihood. Can we return to the 1950s???

Most of these places NEED a "Hitler" to restore the cities to the taxpayers who pay for protection from criminals. The Chambers of Commerce should file class action suits against the local governments.

At least someone is being honest about the reason for the closure even though they had to remain anonymous to do it.

Pretty sure I just got a rep comment from that guy who gets banned a half dozen times a day but it does go to show that our education system is sorely lacking.

"Banning books? Check. Removing rights? Check. Elected an authoritarian? Check. Yep. They are Hitler."

San Fran deserves its misery.
