Time Text
The situation San Francisco is in, did you ever think it would become like this?
No, I didn't.
This whole idea of taxing large businesses to take care of the homeless program, when you see that the program is a bottomless pit, that's not going to satisfy a business committee that wants to come to San Francisco.
We are a caring, sensitive, compassionate city, no question about it, and we always will be.
But there is a limit to what you can do in Right now, we're driving the business community out of San Francisco because we see the out-of-control drugs everywhere in the city.
And you'll also see it with the retail theft where Walgreens drug stores and Target and Safeway are all having all kinds of shoplifting theft.
10, 12, 14 people come in and break their glass windows and take jewelry or purses and clothing and run out the door and disappear.
And when you look around, you see the quality of life is starting to dissipate.
