So what's really going on in San Francisco?

2. I think the police chief summed it up

pretty well (regarding crime, particularly cell phone grab and run) at a recent press conference. He said if you are in an area where you would not openly hold a handful of hundred dollar bills while counting them, then don't walk through that area with your cell phone in your hand, because it's pretty much the same thing.

I have never lived in San Francisco, but I've lived in proximity of it for 60 years. I go there still for baseball games, and to see live music in night clubs etc. I don't go to the tenderloin or other sketchy neighborhoods. I haven't been there since the pandemic happened, but in my numerous visits there, I have never seen shit on the sidewalk, I have never been mugged, I have never had my car broken into, I have never seen anyone sticking a needle in their arm, etc. I have no doubt these things take place, but I also have no doubt they happen in every big city in the country if one knows where to look for it.

This chance that Ron DeSantis saw all of these things within 20 minutes of arriving there, as he said, are slim to none and slim just left town.

The last large influx of homeless people there was known as the Summer of Love. I observed that, too.
