This could be the harbinger of the Death of San Fran as a tech hub. When the big boys get killed the rest will start leaving.

It cost $4000 for a one bedroom apartment in downtown ( crime infested ) SF. Many have to rent one bunk of a bunk bed with space under the bed for your stuff. For $500 a mo. you get that and space in a refrigerator. You have to share your room with 3 or 4 other people. The crapper is communal.

I like Ceiling Cat, he's so operatic. So I looked at the cost of rent in San Francisco, the average is just under $3000, in Toronto it's $2400.

As for Bob Lee, when you brush away the hyperbole...who did he piss off? The op's link says that he was a crypto mogul, Silicon Valley Bank nearly went ass up over crypto.

First thing that jumps out from the page. Found under the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge or whatever bridge he was near. At 2.00 AM. Kinda looks like he was looking for trouble.

When I lived out west 3 lifetimes ago my travel companion and I use to travel up and down the American left coast. The cities like Seattle, Portland, San Fran, L.A. were pristine, clean and safe. Fast forward to 2023 and they are all shitholes.

SF has been dangerous even in the 70s, I can not tell you how better or worse it is now but not nearly as safe as in Canada.

Von,

The discrepancy of why your estimate for a single bedroom apartment in SF is $1000 less is that I hang around in better neighborhoods. For $1000 less a month you have to live in the low rent district and more likely to see a U-man in the alley taking a poop when you look out your window.

Yeah these cities have joined the shit hole cities of Philly, New Orleans, Houston, Baltimore, Kansas city, Nashville…

The problem is not politics. Its guns, lack of healthcare, socialized housing and inequalities.

All the Leftist run cities on the west coast are large outdoor urinals these days.
Believing this narratives leads to nothing. Zero. Nada.

The top ten poorest states are Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Also read up on the states with highest crime rate. Pretty much same results. Most are red states in both case.

The problem is not the political party. I have written numerous time what the problem is...

San Diego and Los Angeles have become large urinals because it's more conformable to piss outside under the sun.

Hey looky-wooky-woo!

Geez, America's Dem run cities are so scary that the people rose up and...... elected a super-progressive, super-liberal Mayor in Chicago. Nothing goes to show how out of touch the GOP and its buddies are than to actually see what's happening in election-land these days. Not only did the "red tsunami" turn into the "red poo-nami", but Dems keep winning all the important ballot contests.

"The areas hit hardest by violence voted for Brandon Johnson, who campaigned hard on alternatives to policing,"

Does this mean same or higher level of violence?

Going to be an extra bloody summer in Chicago.
Nope.

Betcha violence falls. 🐸 :geek:😺

The dumb thing you folks don't get is that Toronto uses many of the alternative measures Johnson proposes and we have way less crime than any large American city. We also have better social assistance, health care and housing and subsidized higher education.

Spot the connection??
