The taint of a criminal record can create barriers to housing, jobs & more. This week, we launched a project to expunge non-violent, low-level convictions for 37,000+ eligible SF residents. Thanks to our staff & interns for helping San Franciscans to get back on track.
With your current policy of allowing theft and shoplifting to occur with little to no effort to prosecute, you won't have to do this going forward. Of course, if you continue to chase business out of SF, there are gonna be a lot less jobs for the recently 'expunged".
