Isn’t this a question of where do non-Caucasians make up the majority of the local population? Is SF an exception to this rule?

Actually, in most of these cities, the politicians are working with the mobs, turning a blind eye to prostitution, human trafficking, drugs and other “victimless crimes”.

In return, politicians get generous donations to their campaigns and protection from the crime.

The citizens are expected to appreciate the progressive, open-minded city.

Why?

Simple. Afrcanization.

Blacks can not govern. Blacks will not govern. They like the money too much

Sounds like the Cloward–Piven strategy in action.

The debt comes from multiple programs and contracts given to friends/relatives with no accountability for results.

The answer is in the question: Liberals.

>>Doesn’t exactly sound compassionate letting homeless people sleep in crap...even if it is their own crap..?

yes, but powerwashing the streets with bleach perpetuates the racist stereotype that bums are dirty and crap on the streets.

Liberalism is NOT part of law or order.

CHICAGO MIDWAY AIRPORT HISTORY AND AREA
HOW POLITICS AND WARD RE MAPPING DESTROYED THE COMMUNITIES WITHIN

That finger of Chicago’s border on its south side extending 4 miles further beyond Cicero Avenue to Harlem Avenue has a very interesting history. Post WWII during the 1950’s and 60’s the area mushroomed into dozens of single dwelling subdivions where thousands of of five and more room single 1 family units were built. After a struggle by residents the area managed to have the area remapped into one ward and only one alderman needed to respond to their needs. Today the area has four alderman who’s districts are spread miles apart and the reason is political the area was conservative.

Truth be told those cities already had those problems when these people were elected. The reason the problems intensify under their administration is because the solutions they offer often encourage if not outright reward lifestyle choices that lead to further blight. Now since they can’t see this the powers that be often figure putting more burdens on law abiding citizens is the answer.

This shortsighted denial of the truth of human nature is also their approach to crime. And since they are cheered on by the usual suspects all must be good. What they never, ever hear is any mention of personal responsibility. Either for self or family or home or work or community.

Whether called by the proper name “socialist” or not, they run out of other people’s money at some point. Then suggestions turn to mandatory compliance and force of government over the people.

Those who can will leave for the suburbs or small cities. Those who stay will cry out “Hey, where’s all my free stuff I was promised? I’m gonna protest.”

Go to Tucson, AZ. See deterioration in action. See Latino poor get most of the benefits of tax moneys, while white homeless beg on streets and live in arroyos ad flood project tunnels.

Gaze on the ugliest murals one can conceive. Whales flying over desert landscapes can be seen as on drives on streets of uncountable potholes. Garish colored Mayan and Azteca murals predominate in a city of historical subtle, Sonoran culture.

Do not call cops for anything like welfare checks on elderly or intruder in yard. There are not enough cops. Cops are busy with fights and armed robberies and murders.

Oh yeah. Sanctuary city vote failed, but sanctuary city spirit prevails.

Mayor Regina Romero has promised to take on climate change.

You are the only one posting here who hit the nail on the head. But too many other”freepers” will villify and lambast you in a knee-jerk manner and hate you all the more for stating an “inconvenient truth.”

They crap in their own streets.

Just like the Third World, which our Oligarchs are desperate to replace the current United States with.

In so many cases, today’s society does not allow us to state the obvious. Avoiding the obvious also avoids a solution.

Easy question. Here’s the answer.

Liberalism is first and foremost about encouraging and even rewarding irresponsible behavior. It’s personal freedom
without personal consequences, or better yet, personal freedom with collective consequences.

You do something wrong and the rest of society will pay for the consequences.

At it’s root are a majority of ‘bleeding heart” voters who are quick to express their compassion using other people’s money.

The democrat party is a crimminal enterprise. Corrupt politicians who only CARE about enriching themselves DO NOTHING for the people who vote for them.
