40% of Residents Want to Leave This American S***hole

It’s been said that if a business goes “woke,” they go broke. Or face bad financial consequences. These liberal theories never work well in real life.

Take San Francisco, for example. The city wanted to be more lenient on petty crime and the homeless. But as a result, this has lowered the quality of life in the city by the bay.

Almost half of the city’s residents said they plan to leave, because of rising crime and a deteriorating quality of life.

This was from a poll commissioned by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, interviewing 500 residents. 40% said they plan to leave the city for good in the next few years, and here are the reasons.

First reason: Eight out of 10 residents polled said crime rates had gone up. Second, almost 90% of those polled said the homelessness crisis has gotten worse. Third, about 75% of residents said their quality of life has declined over the past year.

The Chamber of Commerce said the poll proves the city needs to take rising crime and homelessness more seriously. It said:

“Considered in light of the pandemic, these views are somewhat unsurprising. However, what stands out in the polling results is the strikingly high and consistent number of respondents who now view homeless and crime as the leading problems facing the City.”

A San Francisco police officer recently blamed the city’s liberal leaders for the deteriorating quality of life. He argued that leftists’ refusal to prosecute crime is causing people to leave.

Lt. Tracy McCray said this about District Attorney Chesa Boudin:

“The ‘criminals first’ agenda from the district attorney [is to blame] because he’s not prosecuting any of those crimes as felonies [or] as a commercial burglary,” who has ordered law enforcement not to prosecute “quality-of-life crimes,” such as drug possession and shoplifting.

McCray cited a recent incident caught on video. A man with a bicycle filled a trash bag with goods from a Walgreens, while a security guard and customer watched and filmed the theft.

This is more proof that liberal policies fail every time they’re tried. In other words: “Go woke, and turn your city into a joke.”

But it’s not funny for residents of San Francisco, who suffer under these bad leaders. Proverbs 29:3 says: “When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.”

In conclusion, based on news reports like this, there’s a lot of groaning in San Francisco.
