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.

Cost is generally the driver of this, which AGAIN is a result of growth. Too many people moved to CA too quickly because there were tons of high paying jobs and opportunities. Policy didn't move fast enough to keep up, now remote work means opp can be found in lower cost cities

Respectfully, cost has absolutely 0 to do with having the largest homeless population in the US, overlaid with 4x the daily deaths from drug ODs as Covid. I lived in CA for 12 years & watched it make foolish policy & budget decisions. High taxes & failed social programs.
