The Failure of Progressivism Seen in Negative Migration From SF and Other Liberal Strongholds

San Francisco’s homeless problem, drug epidemic, and lawlessness proves how liberal progressive politicians and big government fix to all problems only exacerbates existing issues.

The blue model has failed spectacularly in the liberal bastion of San Francisco. In one of the most beautiful cities in the world, residents and tourists alike are disgusted by what the city has become. Conventions, most recently a Chicago-based medical association, are deciding to not go to the city by the bay due to aggressive panhandlers, human waste on the street, used needles on city sidewalks, and drug use in broad daylight. More than $500 million less has been spent by conventions in San Francisco from 2014 to 2017. Furthermore, tourists are going there in steeply declining numbers because it is no longer a pleasant place to spend one’s precious vacation time.

“San Francisco’s homeless problem, drug epidemic, and lawlessness proves how liberal progressive politicians and big government fix to all problems only exacerbates existing issues.”

It’s a highly desirable destination for homosexuals, coprophages, and urolagniacs.

As if we need it, here is another clear example why Liberal policies fail.

Failure 1 is that Liberals never factor in HUMAN NATURE when they plan their utopia.

Failure 2 is the rule that you get more of what you reward and less of what you punish.

Failure 1 is that there are humans that are just plain lazy and or willing to live off the sweat of others. Liberal “compassion” just rewards this bad behavior.

However, I am beginning to think we are asking the wrong question. Instead of just how naive our Liberals not to understand human nature?

The correct question (I think) is just who is getting rich by not solving any problems? As a famous Democrat once said, don’t let a crisis go to waste.

In other words as long as there are “homeless” and drug addicts there will be government programs to “solve the problem”. Since no one ever determines what would be a successful program they just keep going like the energizer bunny sucking money from the public treasure into the appropriate Liberal’s pocket.
