"There's nothing I can do about that" says this mayor about criticism for SF's ineffectual policies. A majority of SF voters disapprove of the job London Breed is doing, according to the San Francisco Examiner. Her approval rating is at 42%. UPDATE: In 2023 she proudly announced the creation of the city's first Drag Laureate which is as ridiculous as you can get. An unimportant thing that she is so proud of. San Francisco needs enlightened leadership to solve its problems, not this lame politician.

The mayor hated the DA she wanted him gone from the beginning. Are you from San Francisco??

[@rr7firefly]

@@jx1668 To your question, I lived in SF for several years. Currently not, but I keep in touch with residents and with news. It seems that I have had to defend the city against vicious right-wing attacks a lot in the past 2 years. As for Chesa Boudin, his approval ratings were further down in the dumpster than Breed's are. If she is able to govern effectively that would be most welcome.

[@johnnystir9796]

No. She didn't say that. She said that there's nothing she can do about San Francisco being code for the conservative concept of liberal values.

[@RaymondHng]

@@jx1668 The San Francisco District Attorney was Kamala Harris in 2004-2011. Harris was re-elected in 2007 and later became Attorney General of California 2011. Then mayor Gavin Newsom appointed SF Police Chief George Gascón to finish Harris' term. Then Gascón was subsequently elected in his own right in November 2011. On October 2, 2018, Gascón announced that he would not seek re-election, citing his mother's health. On October 3, 2019, Gascón announced that he would resign as district attorney on October 18 in order to explore a run for Los Angeles district attorney. San Francisco anticipated its first open race for district attorney since 1909. After Gascón announced his resignation in October 2019 prior to the November 2019 election, Mayor London Breed appointed candidate Suzy Loftus as interim district attorney, whom Breed had endorsed in the November 2019 election. Appointing Loftus as interim district attorney one month before elections prompted accusations the mayor was trying to influence the election by granting her preferred candidate incumbency. Out of a field of four candidates in the election, Boudin defeated Loftus by razor-thin margins 86,712 (50.83%) to 83,872 (49.17%).

The story states that over a billion dollars are being spent this year on homelessness, and it further states that they count 8000 homeless. That comes to $125,000 per homeless person a year! And yet the problem is worsening! What specifically are they spending money on? How many homeless have been provided shelters? How many mental health centers have opened? Where's the accountability for that doesn't money? What a waste of a formerly beautiful city, due to liberal policies.

[@sallycasas4170]

Wow, thank you for the beautiful work on the division problem. You might think about adding up the cost of the organization managing these funds like rent for a building, used desks, phone system & phones, salaries for the employees, training on policy, protocol, researching grants, resources and acquiring living structures to provide the homes for recipients. This does not include the resources for food, medical and mental health care and support, paths to employment or education for recipients. Add all these items first, subtract from the original billion, divide by 8k, now whatcha got?

[@grybnyx]

The mayor touts the safety and security that has been brought to that intersection (Turk and Hyde) but she fails to mention that the whole scene has shifted 2 blocks north to Ellis and Hyde. There you will see about 50 Honduran drug dealers standing in clumps on the corners of the intersection, surrounded by addicts and homeless. The city's sanctuary policy prevents the city from charging them with drug crimes, lest they be deported back to Honduras. They were being protected by Chesa Boudin, who prosecuted THREE drug cases in all of 2021, whiles hundreds of people died from drug overdoses in the same year. There is no excuse for the permissiveness that reigns as policy here in San Francisco. A Social Justice Warrior should never have been made district attorney, but it is consistent with the ideology that criminals are simply victims of larger social forces that are unjust and beyond their control, especially if they are Black. Only tough love will alter the trajectory of people's lives, but that is the last thing on the minds of the saints of the non-profit universe here that really determine how the homeless situation will be approached, and it is not done by asking anything of the homeless themselves, there is no carrot and stick approach, that would just "traumatize" the homeless person further (than what society had already done to them). Nothing will change.

Former Bay Area resident here: I think it is all well and good to focus on sanitization, but rather than spend excessive amounts of water on cleaning streets when virtually all of California has been drought-ridden for most of the last decade, why not invest in more public bathrooms instead? As for reducing poverty, the sad and unavoidable fact is that it is expensive as it is gargantuan and while many people might be sympathetic to the plights of homeless people, it is unlikely that the tech companies throughout the Bay Area will offer competitive salaries to people who don’t own computers or that landlords will lower rents. And the worst part is that Republicans have no more workable solutions than the left, but continue to take Fox News’s money just to use the homeless as talking points against the Democrats.

[@rr7firefly]

Good points to make. Former SF residents have good or great memories of days in the city. I know I do. It was never a good idea to walk in the Tenderloin and now even more so. My deep love of SF comes from my early morning walks to work in the Jackson Square area and from living south of Dolores Park, along the J Line.

So San Francisco's problems come down to "Fox New's Money"? Wow, you "Bay Area" people can just not get past your hatred of anything right of center. I see you're a "former" resident, undoubtably now screwing up the place you moved to.

[@r.d.493]

@@okboomer1340 Of course, SF’s problems don’t come down to Fox News’s money. What I said was that Republicans take that money just to talk about problems but offer no solutions and all to make the Democrats look bad. For as much as Trump just loved to complain to his buddy Sean Hannity about how Nancy Pelosi never did enough to help the homeless people of SF, it goes without saying that he is too money hungry to do more than that. He just talked about homeless people to make her look bad. Really ambitious! As for where I am now, still gainfully employed since 2018. OK Millenial?

You're describing your little neighbor down here to the south too... Every single day I'm speechless at the Portland spectacle. The drifter who stomped around my porch for a solid hour at 4 a.m., pulling on our doors and peering in windows....I dialed 911 and was told the police were too busy unless perp was waving a weapon, and to "call back, ok? if he gets in." For us, that was last straw. $10k in property taxes and we just paid $2700 to repair our sidewalk. When a piggish oaf popped open his stolen patio umbrella and yoga mat ("sleep safe!") under the heritage elm that we are obligated to maintain, I waved the fireplace poker at him. It's not livable. Every dog walk is a risk. No more strolling downtown for a bite. So as we look to leave and sell the house that I thought I'd draw my last breath in, I'm starting to think the nation has suffered some kind of parenting crisis... the mentally ill are a tragic component, but the majority are fringe louts, dope dealers, thieves, little thugs in their loud hondas, and drifters who don't give a damn about anything...you can only blame the government so long before looking at the tattered 28 year old chick flopped over on a discarded couch in front and wonder "who the f*ck raised you?" Honestly, the scene here beggars belief. hehe...that's my postcard from Portland. ; )

[@KCNwokoye]

Keep the hope alive and at the same time get tough on crime, build new affordable housing that goes directly to the citizens not to the real estate agents who mark up the prices. Invest in rehabilitation centers for mental health that is voluntary and involuntary. No one should be living in the streets. It is unhealthy and dangerous. Only in America do you see homeless people living on the streets. Here in Europe at least in my city you must enter a home provided by the government, get a job to pay for your boarding and get treatment all at the same time or you will be confined to a mental health facility with strict rules and regulations and sent to jail if you fail to comply. And once you get healthy you will be charged for the money the city spent on you. This is a comprehensive system that I don't know why these cities struggling cannot manage the program. I guess it's the greed for wealth and the politics of it that keeps serious change from happening.

Here is a radical ideal for cleaning up the homeless and streets. Make apartment complexes that are rent controlled. Giving the homeless a simple 1 bed 1 bath apartment saves a city money in the long run. This is because cost of washing side walks and cost of jailing homeless everyday is higher than cost of building a home. Not to mention it gives them that all important home address which makes finding a job more feasible. Added benefit is lifting the stress of worrying about what meager possessions may get stolen or where will I sleep tonight. That constant stress can lead to doing drugs to numb oneself.

Ok, never dared to comment on the matter before as I am a newcomer in SF.. though as a taxpayer I guess I have a right to speak out too. 1) You can be both liberal and still enforce the law. I don’t appreciate paying taxes and seeing the rights of the homeless being better respected than mine. I hate the fact that boarding a bus here I never see people paying for their ride, no matter homeless they or not. I don’t like the fact that I should avoid certain areas in the very center of the city and think twice before going to shop around the Union Square. It’s a public area , yes. Meaning I should feel as free and SAFE there as all those homeless people. Why are not the police doing their jobs if I do mine and pay taxes that support their paychecks? 2) Why can’t London Breed be impeached? I certainly don’t believe her rainbow washing when she attends all of the pride related events and building the pink triangle in Twin Peaks. Yes, as a gay man I appreciate the fact that SF now has Pink Triangle Day but I disagree with the rainbow washing and using lgbtq+ agenda for her political purposes. The Pink Triangle had been built for 28 times before London Breed made it a reason to earn her political points by attending it. Gays are gonna survive without your patronage, London! As we have so far. Thank you. In fact, it’s more and more common to hear the sentiment in the gay community of queer people who want move away because the city is a) NOT SAFE b) unaffordable c) is no longer fun!! Look at the Castro. It looks almost abandoned. Younger people can’t afford to move here, older people are still around but just because they have no other place to go and stick to the remains of the community that once flourished here. 3) I do believe in SF’s revival! It will get better as it did after the Gold Rush was over, when it survived the earthquake and fires of 1906, AIDS and all. It will be just fine. I guess just each of us individually should make a bit more effort in supporting our home and making it better, cleaner, safer. Excuse my style and grammar. English is not my mother tongue.

San Francisco has lots of problems but please don't outright lie to us. San Francisco does not have one of the highest crime rates in America but I guess you would have to actually do the work and read the actual statistics.

Hypocrite!!

Yer, you lock em up then 24 hrs later you let em out.

Using a broom to cleanup the streets is simply a reactionary bandage fix that you tape onto the wound. Please address the underlying problem. Why is it normal for average workers to spend up to 60% of their income on rent? Why housing prices getting so ridiculously high that SF born people have to move to a different city to afford a home? An example of what's on the ground: I have to jay walk on the last block to work because one side of the street has been completely taken over by homeless and it smells horrible. With regards to the rising crime, buglary, store theft, you started action not when the average no-name store complained but only when the wealthy high-end retail chains started pressuring you. You had 4 years to fix the city and a guaranteed 4+ more years. This is what single party rule does to a otherwise great city, slow rot and a government unreceptive to people's needs. Break up the local Democrat party or stop gerrymandering and doing other things to quash opposing parties.

So true!!!

Don't feel sorry for the people of San Francisco; you get what you vote for.

You can't fight inequality any more than you can fight how blue is different than red. 00:53

The park has a fence to keep kids safe, similar to what Trump asked for on the border 🤔

[@mariacheebandidos7183]

part of the problem is that reporters are too scared to blame or hold the citizens responsible for their actions. it is easier, less controversial to blame the authorities. you enforce the law, people complain that too many people in jail. you relax law enforcement, people complain about high crime rate. what do you want less crimes or less law enforcement? you can't have both with that population. and some times, a lot of the time, it is okay to blame the perpetrators, the authorities are not gods or magicians, they can't just fix everyone's problems.

The debates against her will be interesting.

[@vsanchez7158]

I wish her well. She has her work cut out for her.

[@gillroygarlic3616]

It’s been 4 years; she’s incompetent. She shouldn’t be mayor. SF went from greedy Lee to indifferent Breed.

[@48mishy]

I want to visit but dont want dodge all kinds of poop and needles.

[@Validkris]

She only turned tough when someone she knew complained to her. She will turn San Francisco back to the danger zone soon.

[@dk60ish]

I live in pricey San Diego, but San Francisco is even pricier!

[@dmiller1000]

To CBS News: Your audience would learn more with a 3-minute piece on Michael Shellenberger's prescriptions for SF and other cities - instead of spending 6 minutes on another failing left wing politician. NYC's tent/homeless problem is more spread out - and even here, Adams made some moves (not enough) to remove the tents. Will next week's piece be on how great Chicago is doing under Lori Lightweight, I mean Lightfoot?

[@pinoyvision]

People who now can’t stand her will still continue to vote for her just cause. The residents voters are pathetic and i hope the city continues it spiral downwards and never gets better because this is what the voters want. Please make it make sense

[@johnjohnson3709]

SF will never get any better because of too much liberalism. I’m a liberal democrat but enough is enough!!

[@sleepyjoebiden2756]

San Fran sicko

[@aarononeal9830]

CBS News needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

[@alexwells9948]

6:08 To the stingrays on the island of St. Croix when Sunday Morning continues

[@a6m3reisen8]

Pushing the envelope she means by all but legalizing crime.

[@johnjones-pj7fx]

The city is a mess now......

[@mlmoreno75]

SF will only get worse.

[@d.v4141]

Enough is enough you are fired

[@kevinMM2100]

San Antonio, TX needs a mayor, and a city council with her drive. The 7th largest city is stuck in the 1970s, it’s dirty, and has the nations shittiest infrastructure.

[@KeithCindyPanama]

Defund politicians:) They don’t do nothing

[@markmedley6849]

So in other words she has done nothing wrong. Numbers don’t mean anything. Other cities are worse.

[@cheri7054]

Epububs are all about policing and it looks like she's spending money on police
