Last summer there were 330 media reports about a single shoplifting event in SF—incl. coverage in SK, Mexico, UK, France. millions of FB shares. If you dont see this & the 1000s of breathless “Walgreens Closing!” stories as a foaming reactionary mob narrative not sure what to say

Adam, not even progressives and socialists in our city, including supervisors, deny shoplifting and store closures are a major problem. How's NYC?

It’s pretty okay. There are abundant drug stores and property crime is down overall. They need to staff back up though because workers are clearly being overwhelmed.

Sounds like maybe SF has a problem with some bad Walgreens? I’d look into it.

It's more like we have a problem with a bad prop 47, which decriminalized shoplifting, car break-ins etc., and with a bad DA

Oh no, that’s not correct at all. You do have a solid bit of media hysteria going on though.

All of the “bad” things that you name are present in other cities like San Francisco. But SF has much larger “mostly stupid rich dorks who hate poor people for sleeping in the street” population per capita. That’s the source of your problem.
