      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 …

      The Walgreens at Van Ness and Eddy in San Francisco is getting ready to close after months of seeing its shelves repeatedly cleaned out by brazen shoplifters. Even the jugs of clothing detergent on display were looped with locked anti-theft cables. https://trib.al/RPPE58s

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

      Replying to @alanknit @Jason and

      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.

      Replying to @brahnema @Jason and

      I respectfully disagree. They’re all blue & there are no Rs. The city is 92% Hillary voters, all D, & all shades of blue. Not hard 2 generalize 2 the whole state, which has been blue 4 several decades. Repeating the same history & expecting different outcomes is insane.

      Replying to @alanknit @Jason and

      One big problem with politics is that a complex multi-parameter space is divided purely into two buckets by people. That's just not reality. I am a dem for example, but do not support the current SF DA and many other dems here feel the same way.

      Replying to @brahnema @alanknit and

      Most of SF's problems stem from a lack of housing & a lack of willingness to build more combined with huge influx of ppl due to jobs. The whole YIMBY movement is pushing for development (they are all dems btw), but NIMBYism and geography have so far prevented much progress.

      Replying to @brahnema @alanknit and

      Many problems people attribute to "dem run cities" are problems of rapid growth due to mass movement into urban areas (which are typically dem run). It's easy to simplify things into R vs D but things are just not that simple.
