Congrats to @chesaboudin for saving the city of San Francisco from the evil corporate overlords at @Walgreens!
No longer will we have to suffer from their oppressively low prices and 24 hour service!https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1317813277079068672 …

Jason - I will never understand how frustrated you are by these outcomes while you knowingly and vocally support the party that enacts them.

This comment grossly misunderstands SF politics. Local politics in general is usually not D vs R. In SF it’s progressive vs moderate, NIMBY vs YIMBY etc. The moderate DA candidate would have done a much better job fixing this imo, but still a D.

I understand that scaling what doesn’t work in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago, Seattle, Baltimore, NYC and other large blue cities would be completely foolish. The policies just don’t work and have been empirically proven as such by just watching.

The cities you just listed produce more gdp and tax revenue than many red states combined. They deal in various ways with varying degrees of success/failure with unique and difficult sociological problems. What this has to do with your naivete about SF politics I am not sure.

People & businesses are voting with their feet & their balance sheets. Acting like there isn’t a mass exodus from CA to TX and NY to FL isn’t going to solve the problems that now exist in SF. I now live in the state of TX, where a constitutionally mandated balanced budget exists.

I'm actually moving from SF to Austin! So I definitely understand - I'm very frustrated by SF politics. But so are hundreds of thousands of other SF residents. Most of whom are dems!

Again, a lot of the problems ppl attribute to D run cities are problems of growth and scale, but often policy doesn't properly handle the growth like in SF - there was and still is a lot of resistance to growing the city.

I agree with this. Just silly to say this is a D issue. Frankly there are a lot of old money "R" types behind initiatives to stifle growth. The YIMBY orgs are all "blue." But again that is irrelevant.
