Radical left trashed San Francisco. Can city leaders fix it?
‘Crime, homelessness and drugs devastate San Francisco businesses thanks to radical left (sounds like Toronto)’
San Francisco has been in rapid decline since the Black Lives Matter movement held the city hostage in 2020. Now, we’re watching the city die in real time. Without quick and substantive measures to reverse course, one of the nation’s leading cities will become a cautionary tale against embracing the radical left’s agenda.
Bustling with tourists and locals enjoying the city’s shopping district and high-end hotels, Union Square was considered the heart of the City by the Bay — at least until 2020. That was when, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic, city leaders opted to hand over power to the radical left in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
There’s been a mass exodus of the Union Square neighborhood’s top retailers since, like Saks off 5th and Nordstrom, driven by the city’s culture of lawlessness. Homeless addicts commit petty crimes to help feed their drug habit. Opportunistic criminals exploit lax approaches to crime.
The Westfield mall has emerged as the epitome of San Francisco’s struggles. Aside from frequent theft, security guards have been stabbed, and a homeless person allegedly sexually assaulted a customer while hiding out in a mall bathroom.
