Inner City San Francisco Is Hovering on the Verge of Collapse

[…]
The left-wing magazine, The Atlantic published a haunting essay this week by San Francisco native Nellie Bowles about how the town became a “failed city,” one in which Good Samaritans cannot even call an ambulance for an injured homeless person without being confronted by “advocates” who urge the patient not to go to the hospital. Why would they do that? Story

  1. From the article, “….admit that the city is in a terrible state.”
    ” State”, as in “condition”?
    Or “state”, as in “Kalifornia”?

  2. SF’s theme song should be The William Tell Overture, Take a dump, dump, dump etc. ad infinitem. Hi Ho, brown (and yellow) stains forever wherever you look. San Fran Shitto, the San Francisco the San Francisco treat that you don’t want to eat.

  3. I work with actual common everyday folks as opposed to working with businesses or abstract concepts. And over the past few years, I have learned that one of the biggest and most evil mistakes anyone can make is being an enabler. I’m not talking about assisting anyone with a medical or mental problem, but enabling someone (child, relative, friend, etc.) who needs to learn the ability to at least survive on their own.

    Liberalism/progressivism is institutionalized enabling. Have a drug problem? O.k., here are some drugs and drug paraphernalia. Homeless? We will let you camp on the street and make sure the police don’t bother you. Can’t figure out how to afford your lifestyle? Fine, we will let you shop lift and commit crimes without penalty.

    As enablers find out, when you subsidize something you get more of it. Politicians don’t want to discuss root problems of anything because they don’t want to be accused of some sort of “ism” or “phobia.” After every mass shooting the activists blame guns instead of trying to figure out why this happened in the first place. We don’t demand that people get off drugs. We don’t insist that people be law abiding. We don’t demand that people take responsibility for their own lives.

    I’m not advocating being a heartless bastard. But not finding a root cause for problems and trying to fix those root causes is more even more heartless.

  4. I was living in San Francisco 53 years ago and even then, you did not venture into certain areas of the city – like Hunter’s Point. Naval dry dock was located out there. A jetty would take sailors to and from the ship through Hunter’s Point. Driver would tell passengers to duck down and don’t get up until he tells you. Pedal to the metal in a black limo taking drunk sailors back to their ship and hope you don’t get shot at. Fun times. The Tenderloin was always a no go zone
