Probably don’t want Mad Maxi’s Retard Army crashing their convention. Normal people may want to stay away from that joint for a while. Those “progs” are crazy.

Seattle is also losing convention business for the same reasons.

"...Retard Army..."


One of these days a nitwit from Antifa is going to accuse some man or woman of being the Second Assistant to the Associate Director of the Bureau of Land Management and come out swinging. Maybe that peaceful man or woman will also be a retired Navy SEAL just out innocently enjoying breakfast...

Those cities need mayors like Giuliani. Even Bloomberg wasn’t so bad. The current one sucks (Marxist Dem)and things have been going downhill ever since.

Bring your conventions here while it’s still safe and interesting!

Quite literally, the money quote from this article:

“San Francisco spends over $300 million each year on housing and homeless programs...”

Sure as crap ain’t chickenfeed. Gotta wonder how much are Feddybux, and how much of that comes from local or California state taxes.

If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some Kevlar on your head
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some crazy people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a drug den there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with needles in thier arms.

All across the nation such a strange situation
Rich People in motion
There’s a whole generation that are lost and stoned
Rich People in motion Warped people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some boots upon your feet
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime they’re crapping in the streets

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime they’re crapping in the streets

They should work out some deal and just ship these folks to New Mexico, and pay them to temp-house the folks.

Yes, - it’s safe to say you can stick a fork in all of California. It’s ruined. That’s what they wanted and that’s what they got.
I wouldn’t go to California now for all the Tea in China.

The once a time GEM of California is gone for good and it’s not ever coming back. Great Job people.

I can recall business trips to CA in the 1980’s. It was nice back then.

San Diego, LA, San Fran, all nice. The people were different from what I was used to, MidWest USA. Not evil, like now, but different nevertheless.

Now, with all due respect to FReepers who live in CA, I wouldn’t visit there on a bet.

It’s a shame to sit and watch CA dissolve into a reeking pit.

In the last year 150 people in downtown SD died of hepititas from homeless urinating and dedicating on the street. Now they spray the street and sidewalk 3 times week at a cost of tens of thousands month.

I go to Bangalore, India for my job 2 to 3 times a year. I also go to SF about once a month for dinner, Giants games, etc. In recent years, I encounter far fewer beggars and derelicts in India than I do in a typical trip to SF. The streets in Bangalore (at least in the areas I stayed in) are cleaner. And there are no obviously drug-addled people staggering through the streets or camped along the building walls in Bangalore.

This is what leftism has wrought in the once beautiful city of San Francisco - it is now dirtier, smellier, and far more dangerous than a city in the Third World. This is the future that leftism wants to bring to all of America.

San Francisco spends over $300 million each year on housing and homeless programs, but you wouldn’t know it walking down Market Street.

Leftist thinking.

They think that they can solve human misery by throwing money at it.

Government spending on a human problem exacerbates the problem.

When it comes to government spending you get more of what you pay for.

Spend government money on illiteracy you get more illiteracy.

Spend government money on homeless people you get more homeless people.

Creative people will find away to those government dollars.
