Having lived there 20 years ago and visiting a few times a year since, they certainly have bigger issues to deal with. Cost of living? Homelessness? Sanitation? Drug use? Nah, better to name another entity responsible for all the world's woes so we don't have to do anything to actually improve things. The shit lined streets are totally the terrorist NRA's fault.

I find it interesting that San Francisco, despite its often forward thinking and progressive policies on so many issues is, in many ways, an abject failure. If a wealthy GOPer dreamed up a city, SF would not be far off. Economic policies have made it unlivable for just about anybody but the rich. Corporate wealth is deferred to and solicited. The "law" is there to protect the wealth and does little/nothing for/about those living in the streets. The wealthy stroll/Uber about the restaurant and entertainment scene while the servants/service sector swarms across the bridge every day to work for the scraps left over, leaving the City to the wealthy when the shift is done. The only real difference between the conceptual GOP utopia and the City we've got is the virtue signaling by labeling NRA a terrorist organization.

I can see it eventually looking like Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells...gated living communities everywhere and the wealthy living behind walls and gates and their armed guards. Sure they'll still have the touristy areas to make money but no tourist buses rumbling through wealthy areas. And I can see them boosting property taxes to get rid of all the poor in SF, they'll justify as getting rid of crime. Who knows it could turn purple eventually.

Police shootings and gun violence understandably inspire strong emotions, and elected officials are no exception. But they need to watch their words, especially when those words are contained in legislation or, in this case, pseudo-legislation
