Let's check-in and see how things are going in San Francisco... Walgreens closes five more San Francisco locations, citing ‘organized retail crime’ https://nypost.com/2021/10/12/walgreens-closes-five-more-san-francisco-locations-due-to-theft/ Walgreens is closing five more San Francisco locations as drug stores from the Bay Area to the Big Apple are besieged by rampant shoplifting and lax enforcement. San Fran shoplifters have been emboldened by a referendum that lowered the penalty for stealing goods worth less than $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor, cops and prosecutors have said. A spokesperson for the company confirmed the latest closures to SFGate. “Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that,” Walgreens spokesperson Phil Caruso told the outlet. “Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average. During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment.” The retailer had previously shuttered 17 stores in San Francisco during the past five years, Fox News reported. A member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors said the new closures will “significantly impact” the community. “I am completely devastated by this news – this Walgreens is less than a mile from seven schools and has been a staple for seniors, families and children for decades,” Ahsha Safai tweeted Tuesday. Drug store theft in New York City has spiraled into a similar crisis. Last week, The Post visited a dozen Walgreens, CVS, Duane Reade and Rite Aid locations to find largely barren shelves where staples like tampons, toothpaste, face wash and hand sanitizer should have been stocked. “They’ve all been stolen,” a CVS employee said. Police Commissioner Dermot Shea has blamed the shoplifting surge on the state’s “disastrous bail reform law.” “Insanity,” the top cop tweeted earlier this month in response to a Post exposé about a prolific Queens shoplifter who was arrested 46 times in 2021, only to be released to continue stealing under Albany’s bail reform overhaul. The city recorded 3,709 retail theft complaints in August, the most the boroughs have ever seen in a single month.
There is a huge Chinese population in Chinatown area of San Francisco. Even the Chinese know that their investments in real estate in the US is safer than that in China. Rich, extreme liberals though are moving to Austin, Texas where extreme liberals congregate. Everything is lip service to extreme liberal rich elites. Do they care about the average American? Hell no but, they will publish their extreme liberal articles extolling all they have done in their sick heads. None of it true, of course but, a concoction of their imagination. Take homelessness, Democrat extreme liberals talk about eradicating homelessness but, the apartments they built, turns out to be rented by the Democrat politicians relatives? Now, these are low cost rental units built and brand new on US tax dollars.
Let's see a recent poll.... More than half of Bay Area residents plan to leave permanently: poll https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...area-residents-plan-to-leave-permanently-poll More than half of the residents living in the San Francisco Bay Area say they are considering moving out of the area permanently, according to a poll from Joint Venture Silicon Valley released Monday. The survey of voters in five Bay Area Counties found that 56 of respondents said they were likely to leave the region within “the next few years,” a higher percentage than in any of the think tank’s previous polling. A separate 44 percent said they were unlikely to leave, with 14 percent of these people saying they want to move but could not. Russell Hancock, president and CEO of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, told The San Francisco Chronicle that the issue comes down to the costs of housing. “It’s housing, stupid,” Hancock told the newspaper. “That is driving almost all of the results we see in this poll.” Among those who were likely to leave, 84 percent cited the cost of living as a major reason, 77 percent specifically cited high housing costs and 62 percent cited the quality of life. Forty-eight percent of respondents said the region was headed in the right direction, while 52 percent said it was on the wrong track. Seventy-one percent thought the quality of life is worse now than it was five years ago. But despite the problems, 71 percent said the Bay Area was still a good place to pursue a career. Fifty-six percent rated the region as good or excellent to grow up, and 46 percent said it was a good or excellent place to raise a family. The poll was conducted by Embold Research and surveyed 1,610 registered voters in Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, San Francisco and Contra Costa counties from Sept. 21 to 26. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points.
