OLD FASHIONED CRIME ON THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO

Cybercrime may be a buzzword, but old fashioned crime in cities like San Francisco are costing millions of dollars a year for businesses, and ultimately communities and consumers.
A recent Fox News report chronicled multiple people in the city who say they’ve never seen the shoplifting and car break-ins so prevalent.
This is really bad. I’ve been in the Bay area 20 years, I’ve never seen this,” said J.C. Hernandez, a local security guard. “It’s just lawlessness. People are just openly coming in and stealing stuff.”
Rachel Michelin, president of the California Retail Association, said that multi million-dollars worth of product is stolen from San Francisco stores annually, and this year may end up being the worst in a long time. She noted that a large cut of the proceeds is going to criminal gangs.
Others, including business owners and police, confirmed the nature of the stealing didn’t fit with any notion that people are stealing “just to get by.” The items taken, the amounts, and the brazen nature of activities point to a hardened kind of criminal activity.
A host of people interviewed also personally attested that they see numerous car break-ins, often carried out by busting windshields and grabbing goods, occurring on a daily basis.
Adora Gipson, an employee at National Car Rental, said “We get broken windows every few minutes. We got like 30 cars now that’s with broken windows here because people have experienced the smash-and-grab thing.”
Where is the San Francisco DA? The Soros backed current office holder Chesa Boudin has an interesting background when it comes to crime. According to reports, Boudin is the son of two Weather Underground militants convicted of murder in a botched heist in 1981. His mother was freed from jail in 2003, but his father is still behind bars. Boudin was fostered by Bill Ayers, the infamous terrorist who was responsible for Barack Obama’s political ascent, after his parents were imprisoned.
Boudin, a Rhodes Scholar, served as a translator for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez before attending Yale Law School and earning his law degree.

I live in the Bay Area. This current crime wave was entirely preventable. During the last two decades prior to election of the infamous weather underground DA, Bay Area cities adopted a policy of not enforcing against retail theft, car vandalism, assault, and grand-theft auto. The sheer volume of tourists and out-of-town visitors masked the problem for years. Often it was the tourists who were robbed. Those same tourists packed retail stores minimizing losses from theft. Ascendant tech drove up home prices gentrifying areas leading to a slow decline in crime noticeable pre-pandemic. I believe the local politicians secretly hoped that tech class gentrification would solve the crime problem so they wouldn’t have too. Pre-pandemic the rise in home prices was accompanied by a decrease in crime, especially murder. This paradigm is now over with the result being well established criminal networks preying on the remaining locals. The thieves in the Bay Area often work teams like you do at your office job.
I expect things to get worst as the Bay Area politicos wake up from the tech money fever dream and panic like a deer in headlines over the prospect of having to support real enforcement, aka tough on crime, since so many careers are built on woke platitudes. Home prices and costs continue to skyrocket thus increasing the numbers of desperate people. The moral of the story is sweeping all the dirt and roaches under fancy rugs during boom times comes home to roost when your home is the only place to go. The only way to fix the problem is too clean up the disgusting house removing all trash and vermin. If your City is playing woke games there will come a time where wealth or money printing won’t be able to offset an increasingly rewarding criminal industry.

It seem’s to me that residents of liberal cities have a death wish for themselves. self-destruction is unnatural. The voting systems in Democrat cities is completely rigged and fraudulent. The current administration and much of Congress is a fraud. The voting “Technology” facilitates this criminality. One citizen, one vote on one day with bio verification.
