Old Blazor has a brother like that.

This is Seattle so not in California but you can see what radical leftism and decriminalization of drugs and many crimes results in.  It is literally a dying city.

You know it's bad when even Starbucks is closing up shop -

Seven San Francisco Starbucks to close amid crime wave



At least seven Starbucks locations in downtown San Francisco are slated to be closed as crime continues to degrade the Democratic-controlled city.

"Each year as a standard course of business, we evaluate the store portfolio to determine where we can best meet our community and customers' needs," a Starbucks spokesperson said.

"This includes opening new locations, identifying stores in need of investment or renovation, exploring locations where an alternative format is needed. and, in some instances, re-evaluating our footprint."

Starbucks is just the latest example of a big business ditching San Francisco, as a recent study found that nearly 97% of all restaurants in the city have suffered from property crime or graffiti in the last month, according to the report.

Nordstrom, Whole Foods, Old Navy, Office Depot, H&M, and Athleta are just a few examples of businesses that have been part of a greater exodus.

San Francisco has suffered an injury to its economy that it may not recover from. Its technology sector suffers from people fleeing the city and the greater push toward remote work, the report noted.

Office vacancy sits at 30% as of September, and the city's credit rating has taken a dive from Moody.

The people in large urban areas may have to drive an hour just to buy groceries or home building supplies.

Funny because it is true.

When you look at countries which have had economic crisis/collapsed (Somalia, Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe) what little remaining government power all gets used in the big cities.  It is every where else that becomes lawless free for alls and what little resources are left all goes to the big cities.

Radical leftist teachers unions in California wants to turn school parking lots into homeless encampments.  Yes, they want drugged out criminals right there with your children.

California Democrats want to ban gasoline powered cars from some roads and areas.  This is a plot pushed by the WEF. They are starting with classic cars which several Dems say they want to ban "for the environment".

The exodus of sane people from that state should be complete before 2030.

Trails in California are going to get a lot harder as Greasy Newscum signed a new law saying if prosecutors which to dismiss a potential juror during jury selection they must prove they are not racist.  The law says prosecutors are guilty until proven innocent.  This is just retarded and yet another example of Democraps always siding with criminals and not caring about people who are victims of crime.

$7 gas in the bay area.  Greasy Newscum keeps lying and claiming the oil companies are just greedy but the reality is Democraps shut down 1/3rd of the refineries in the state causing a shortage.  Worse, they imposed a special blend of gasoline only used here to prevent gasoline refined in other states from being sold here.

California's new "equity and social justice" math is going to be a complete disaster according to college Professor.  All math classes k-12 in California will now be infused with left wing political indoctrination, students will be passed even if the fail and learn nothing, and actual math skills take second place to indoctrinating children with "equity and social justice" ideals.

BTW most school districts have canceled advanced and/gifted classes because most students in the advanced classes were white or Asian so, of course, the lying Democraps claimed the were "racist".  That is right, doing your homework and studying hard to get ahead is an expression of "whiteness".  The reality is how well a student scores is almost exactly correlated with how much homework and studying they do.

Black students, on average, do just 3 minutes of homework per week, Latinos were at 20 minutes, whites were at 1 hour, and Asians were at 1 hour 20 minutes.  So race isn't the factor but laziness is.  Students who do not study or do homework score poorly while those who do score well, race is not involved, except some groups culturally don't seem to care about academic success while parents I those groups are collectively lazy pieces of shit.

So, democRATs must believe failing school is blackness or is it minorityness. Except Asians. democRATs aint got their heads screwed on right.

Thos is how retarded the left has gotten.
