As part of my ongoing investigation into the hopeless collapse San Francisco I went to Dolores Park. I know I am kind of cheating here, but if the doomers can post the same four blocks of the TL, I can post a picture of a park on a sunny day right?

I walked around the neighborhood and took some photos. I used to work around Square in the mid-10s so I am very familiar with the neighborhood. It was lively then and sort of emptied out during Covid, like many places.

The Market - a posh grocery store - is still there and doesn’t really lock up its goods, which is what you might expect if you believed the doom loopers. Looks like there are fewer restaurants in the back than there used to be. Not as many people are coming into the office daily.

@kevinnbass Conservatives have abandoned reason, objectivity and intellectualism and are not even interested in pursuing careers in science, law, medicine or journalism. The rot starts when conservatives replaced classical liberalism with conspiratorial narratives.

I did notice the noxious smell of that evil drug that has been killing thousands of San Franciscans. You guessed it: tobacco. In spite of all the well know dangers, some people can’t kick it. I don’t judge them, it’s hard to get off addictive drugs.

We need more housing at all income levels. We need to make it legal to build multi-family in areas zoned single family. This will make housing cheaper for middle class families, which will reduce commutes, improving lives and reducing green house gas emissions.

@Noahpinion Warmongering is bad. Spending $1T preparing for offensive military ability throws money away that we could use for high speed rail, education and health care. Invading other counties is what you do when you have a huge military and a political establishment dedicated to it.

Unsafe use sites already exist. They are all around you whether you are aware or not. That’s where the thousands of people die each year from entirely treatable causes. Opposing safe/supervised use centers doesn’t deter or reduce drug use. It just perpetuates preventable deaths.
