Many Stores Closing Due To Democrat Inspired Looting

Coming from someone who lives in an outhouse...I choose others opinions. Maybe you should take your own advice.

I own a state of the art house on lake superior.

Knock your socks off.

I'm often in NYC visiting friends....as Cities go it is at the top.

It's been a few years for me, but I'm betting the bum piss, dumpster juice and smog stink isn't any better and crime is for sure not better.

I'll take a more stable, cleaner, healthier and safer small city not run by psychotic control freaks and the covid gestapo.

I've been to Paris for a comparison....very different and also both world class experiences.

I think Paris is as overhyped as French women and cuisine. Probably just as filthy.

Spain and Barcelona however.....totally not overhyped. Beautiful city, art, people and amazing food. If I had to pick a European nation/city it would be Bergen Norway, but Barcelona Spain would be a close second.

I have never heard that the population of NYC, or of Paris, is declining. Those "fleeing" get replaced by newcomers.

Census says otherwise according to pretty much everyone at the end of a google search.

Chesa: Spawn of terrorists, raised by terrorists, named for a terrorist.

Gee, let's make him DA...what could go wrong?

Chesa Boudin:

Decarceration
His first policy as district attorney was the implementation of a diversion program for primary caregiver parents of minor children who were charged with misdemeanors or nonviolent felonies, in accordance with SB394. The bill, which was authored by State Senator Nancy Skinner, was signed into law by Gavin Newsom in October 2019. If accepted into the program, the police would suspend criminal proceedings for up to 24 months, allowing the defendant to undergo various classes and training. After completing the program, the court would drop their charges. It is similar to the mental health and drug diversion program in San Francisco. It is supposed to reduce trauma for children who would have otherwise had a parent incarcerated. Critics have raised concerns about potential loopholes for abusers and sexual offenders.[53]

On January 22, he eliminated cash bail and replaced it with a "risk-based system," in which prosecutors evaluate whether or not a defendant poses a threat to public safety as a condition for their pretrial release. John Raphling, a senior researcher at the Human Rights Watch, praised the decision, stating that bail and pretrial incarceration has been used "as leverage to pressure people to plead guilty regardless of actual guilt." Conversely, Tony Montoya, president of the SFPOA, condemned the decision by claiming that the risk-based system is an "arbitrary math equation" and that the change would create a "criminal justice revolving door".[54]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Boudin reduced the San Francisco's jail population by 25%, from around 1100 to 840, in March 2020 following outbreaks in other American cities such as New York City. Older inmates or those with medical conditions were prioritized, while those almost done with their sentences or were charged with misdemeanors were considered for home detention or probation.[55] This was increased to approximately 40% in April 2020.[56][57]

Police accountability policies
In the month following the ongoing George Floyd protests in May 2020 that demanded more police accountability, Boudin and other prosecutors across the country implemented new policies meant to address police accountability.[58][59][60]

On June 1, 2020, a group of active and retired district attorneys in California—including Boudin, Diana Becton, and George Gascón—called on the State Bar of California to prohibit elected prosecutors from accepting campaign contributions from police unions. They cite potential conflict of interests between the police's financial backing and the prosecutors who potentially have to file charges against them.[61] Robert Stern, a former attorney who worked the California Fair Political Practices Commission, doubted that the ban would have any major effects as most unions donate through political action committees, which are not subject to contribution limits, and cited potential First Amendment concerns. The request also faced backlash from police unions in Los Angeles and San Francisco, who called the effort politically opportunistic.[62]

On June 2, 2020, Boudin partnered with Supervisor Shamann Walton to announce a resolution prohibiting the hiring of law enforcement officers with prior findings of misconduct or those who quit while under active investigation for misconduct.[63][64]

In June 2020, Boudin announced a new policy requiring prosecutors to review all available evidence before charging any cases involving allegations of resisting or obstructing police officers or committing an assault on officers.[60] He introduced a new policy wherein cases would not be charged or prosecuted based on the sole evidence of officers with a history of misconduct, such as excessive force or discrimination, without prior approval of the district attorney.[59] He also announced that victims of police violence would be able to file for medical compensation regardless if the officer was prosecuted for assault or found to have used excessive force. Boudin stated that the policy is meant to supplement a gap in the state's compensation laws, which excluded victims of police assaults and shootings if police reports suggest that the victim contributed to their own injury or death. Compensation would be processed via a partnership between the district attorney's office and the University of California, San Francisco's Trauma Recovery Center.[65] A budget was not determined at the time of announcement.[66]

Not bad ideas.
 
NYC is by far, one of the greatest cities in the world.... according to most folks and by how many folks want to work and live there.

This is an absurd comment and it sounds like you never have gone anywhere outside of your "small town" USA place that you live.

I've been there more than once. It's an old town, has lousy infrastructure, crappy streets full of rude people, and it has a shitty airport. It's partially redeemed by its museums but that's about all. I spent a couple of weeks in midtown Manhattan that last time I was there and it was a friggin' zoo.
 
Ideas that have turned San Fran, one of the most beautiful places on Earth, into a shit-choked Thunderdome and put that terrorist-spawn in a recall election.

The last time I was in Frisco, there was a smothering combination of both human shit and seal shit around Fisherman's Wharf.:(
 
Oh yes, she led the pack, along with that scion of terror, Boudin.

When I left CA George Gascón was in the preliminary stages of his demolition of the city of L.A. He was a former San Francisco DA appointed by Gavin Neutered.:rolleyes:

And he's still DA, having been re-elected in 2019. Somebody likes him.
 
California smash-and-grabs blamed on decriminalization of theft

The organized criminal ransacking of stores in California, a state where Democratic lawmakers have dramatically reduced penalties for shoplifting, is part of a nationwide epidemic that retailers say is adding to costs.

Mall and retail security expert David Levenberg told The Associated Press that while the flash-mob crimes are happening everywhere, it’s the cities with progressive prosecutors — like Los Angeles and San Francisco — that are especially hard hit.

Some business owners and police say the rise in theft can be traced back to a law the Democrat-controlled state passed in 2014 that reduced the classification of some thefts up to $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor.

The top five cities for organized retail crimes in the past year in order were Los Angeles, San Francisco/Oakland, Chicago, New York and Miami.
