In the San Francisco Bay Area, we're at the breaking point: It's not just the COVID restrictions, It's also the complete breakdown of civil society.

Give China a five year lease on the big cities.

They will make them fit for human habitation in no time...

Not been long at all since the failed Newsome recall. . . .

Turn out crazy people and allow them to wander around naked and crap on the sidewalk and this is what you get. You can’t just let people do as they please, because a surprising number want to walk around naked and crap on the sidewalk. There have to be rules in society for it to function.

From the article:

“I can no longer eat in a restaurant in any of the communities surrounding my home, or legally enter my gym, attend a concert, go to a museum, or do anything that enriches life beyond the bare bones of going shopping for food or goods or taking a walk outdoors. Why? Because I refuse to carry or show a “vaccine passport” or share my “status.””

Wow, I live in north SD county and no one is requiring vaccine passports here. Masks are required per statewide mandate, but like most of my fellow gymgoers I wear it below the nose or not at all once I start working out.

Piles of broken windshield glass in every parking lot. That was two years ago, my last visit to SF.

SF has been ruled by one party since the 60’s.
Similar to the USSR, it is beginning to collapse under the weight of continued control and regulation.

I’m seeing California license plates on an almost daily basis in the Jacksonville area now.

Illinois is becoming more common, too. Those Midwestern folks use to mostly stick to the west coast of Florida but no more.

Yes, I will second that from Nassau County (just north of Duval).

” Leftists should be forced to live with and under the policies they enact.”

Isn’t that what’s happening in SF?

“Give China a five year lease on the big cities.

Have you been to any of the big cities in China? I have. They have airpollution problems but are otherwise clean and pretty much crime free. I’d live in any of them before I lived in a city in California.

Agreed—China would not tolerate homelessness, begging, drug use on the streets, defecation everywhere, needles everywhere.

That is my point.

Every problem can be fixed—as long as you are prepared to be tough instead of tolerant.

You don’t want to be a Christian in China. They put believers in jail.

It is. And while it is bad for our conservative cousins who may be trapped there, it is what has to happen.

I have sympathy for them. I know they live there, because I live in the belly of the beast in a blue state as well.

But I think it has to happen, sadly.

It’s been hard on the Freemasons in CA, especially. The membership level is indicative of the level of civility in the population, which really started to decline with the introduction of illegal aliens in the state and the “press 1 for English” provision.

A surprising number also want to steal, kill, assault and rape too.

“We” are getting exactly what “we” asked for in California. Good and hard, too. Say hello to Snake Pliskin for “me”.

Alcatraz was too small to justify continued use as a prison. The entirety of San Francisco on the other hand...

How long before Hollywood makes 'Escape from San Fran' like they did with 'Escape from L.A.' back in 1996? Although now calling someone The Duke of San Francisco has a different meaning.

Perhaps if voters had to get off of their ass to go to the polls to vote, they might find a responsible majority really wants change?
