| Just a few notes I quickly thought of: - SF has policies that encourages homeless to emigrate there, one of which is being pretty lenient to anyone who sets up camp on the streets - SF allows open drug markets that has become a hotbed of criminal activity - Police aren't fully empowered, and many people because of their ideology tend to hate police - Lots of catch and release going on, both anecdotally and on news - They offer drug kits (think needles, pipes, and other tools). The kit looked to be worth around $100 - They gave free alcohol/marijuana to homeless during lockdown - A large subset of the population seem to give no shits about the city or other people: public urination, defecation, harassment, drug use, property theft, vandalism is common. The lack of enforcement has allowed these activities to increase |
