A record high of $14.6 Billion for each of the next 2 years.

Never mind a $780 million two year deficit

YOLO.

Ron DeSantis in San Francisco.

What is this video supposed to be showing?

Doing anything? Why would you get shot, stabbed and maybe killed to save personal property? Most of these guys have felony convictions and they have very little interest in being apprehended, so they are usually packing.

In the Town the policy is, "no blood, no show."

It appears to show a guy breaking into a car and stealing stuff in broad daylight with nobody doing anything.

I didn't catch that but it happened in Dallas apparently so why didn't someone shoot him?

There is a concerted media campaign, being led by conservatives, to make SF look bad. It's part of their entire false promise to their base.

The local and national news media has loved to declare San Francisco in a state of decline on many occasions in the last five decades, so this is just a primer for everyone who wasn't aware of that and bought into the "failed city" narrative too hard. https://t.co/Edv9WNZLGG

Continuing their mea culpa over all that "doom loop" coverage they've done for several months, the San Francisco Chronicle has a piece today where they — finally! — get SF's own Chief Economist Ted Egan on the record with some sober facts on the matter. https://t.co/S81l6Ju4Px

A lot of the problems that people complain about are ones that don't really have a political answer - at least not a clear one. There is a reason that conservatives don't like to talk about crime in red states or red cities - because it won't make them look good.

One example:

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling this week that upholds an earlier precedent that precludes cities from punishing the homeless for sleeping outdoors when other shelter doesn't exist. https://t.co/6Xc5fKUles

There is no such thing as a "concerted media campaign" from the right to make SF look bad. SF has turned into a sh*hole because of liberals and their policies.

As previously discussed on this board, most of the violent crime in red states occur in blue cities within those states.

So what is the point of electing a Republican governor and Republican legislature if they are incapable of doing anything about the crime in their state?

Do you mean to ask what's the point of electing a Democrat mayor and legislature if they are incapable of doing anything about the crime in their cities?

---

So government at the state level is powerless to do anything about crime? Is that your take?

Has Sacramento done anything to help the mayors and police departments of S.F. and L.A.?
