So you realize Democrat politicians created these problems, including Harris, for legalizing drugs, raising the theft level to $950, not prosecuting crime, cash bail, defunding the police, not prosecuting crimes, pushing an open border, and being hundreds of officers short in The City and Oaktown.
Crime begets crime. No punishment spurs more crime. Lack of investigators and pro-criminal DA Pamela Price spurred even more crime. Citizens stop reporting crime, and leaders lack common sense. Lake Merritt has only roughly a dozen drug users living there, easy to remove. I've walked the lake w a friend, we pick up trash, he says next AM the trash is back.

Blue collar jobs that still exist go largely to Latinos, who then recommend their brother, primo, tia, or soccer friend when any job opens up. Latinos also learn skills, and are mechanics, carpenters, roofers, cement work, truck drivers, etc. Thete are still African Americans employed at the Port. They could 'pay their bills' if they learned a trade, but yes, Latinos are locking them out of many jobs, and it appears Asian American small business owners are reluctant to hire AA.
