Your points about the criminal justice are mostly on point with regards to the homeless and drug offenders. But being on the ground in San Francisco and walking the streets daily, I don’t think the Chesa recall is simply billionaire propaganda. Crime, property crime, violent crime has got much worse. People are legitimately pissed. Maybe a recall isn’t the best way to handle it. After all, the term isn’t that long and he was elected. Pick someone better next time.
I get that. But, statistically, violent crime hasn't actually increased. And so much of the other quality of life stuff was pandemic related, such as when the shutdowns emptied out areas filled with workers and tourists and allowed people to set up encampments in the area
Problem is that a lot of crime is not reported so not sure how much I would believe the statistics. People don’t see the point when it’s not prosecuted. Cops blame Chesa but a lot of them are just lazy imho. Anyway, the recall looks like it succeeded so we’ll see.
