The incomes, taxes, and cost of living are all high. The congestion and rush hour traffic is horrible. No question about it, the weather is fantastic. There are nice areas where you can isolate yourself from the horrible things in California. But you know that you're living in a state which has been destroyed by the one party system there. Many people that live in California ignore the serious problems in California, and look the other way. |

It's probably the delineation between felony and misdemeanor. I think you'd get arrested for less.
Like here let's say you go to Belk and stuff a bunch of costume jewelry down your pants and LP grabs you. Depending on the dollar value it's either felony or misdemeanor and while I don't recall the total its way less than $900 and you're getting booked. You also get a no trespass summons which I believe is good for three years. |
I read that you can steal up to $950 of merchandise and if caught the charge is a misdemeanor, like a traffic ticket. How ridiculous is that. Walgreens and other chains have closed a lot of their stores. I thought stealing is a crime, as well as one of the 10 Commandments.. THOU SHALL NOT STEAL ! Only in California would this be acceptable.

O....M....G!!!!! So I read the first 15 replies then stopped. Not one subsequent post challenged the validity of the original post, and not one offered a post to confirm post #1 was total BS! You all were told something you wanted to hear and ran with it.......Classic definition of Sheep or Sheeple!!!!

One of the greatest cities we visited in the 1980's. We walked from one end to another, rode the street cars, walked to China Town and back to the hotel at night. The Fisherman's Wharf was great to have a walk-a-way treat. We visited great bars and restaurants like Lord Jims, Henry's Africa and Lefty Odouls. Glad we saw it before it went down the toilet. Whoops, sorry, they don't use toilets, they use the sidewalk.

Feel free to visit, but you definitely don’t want to live there. Spend your money there. The government will just turn around and use it to buy syringes for drug addicts to shoot up under their supervision. Think I’m kidding? Look it up. That really happens. |

I don’t know the laws in SF to weigh in on the OP’s question. Sorry. |

Several people who have lived there have confirmed the breakdown of law and order in CA. Check this article out from 2018 Medical group cancels San Francisco convention due to homeless crisis - Curbed SF Tough Love would be to take the drug addicts off the street and into a treatment program and incarcerate them if they refuse to stop camping in public areas. It would be cheaper than the $60,000 tents. Spending $60,000 on tents, San Francisco evinces government failure |

I can't get past the Bloomberg paywall to read that link, but the survey in the other is suspect, being funded by the very business oriented Chamber of Commerce. My point was that homelessness is a problem all over the US, it's just out in the open out west and people are trying to do something about it (maybe not very well). Just running people out of your town, so you can claim some sort of purity is not addressing the problem at all. |
One of several reasons we no longer live in California
The police will not arrest shoplifters who steal items totaling less than $900. The security guards at the stores let the shoplifters walk in front of them and out the door carrying the stolen items.
Wallgreens is not renewing its leases in S.F. and is in the process of closing all stores in the City. Gangs of shoplifters run into their stores, sweep a shelf of items into a shopping bag and run out the door. The gangs then meet up with a buyer who pays them cash. The stolen items then go to flea markets or are listed on eBay. We lived in S.F. for several years. They were the best years of our lives. We left for the Central Valley because of housing prices and a growing family. We stopped visiting the City several years ago because of the homeless, the panhandlers, and the general deterioration. Finally, we left California for all these reasons together with the property and income taxes. |
Nice to see Bay Kid concerned about the City by the Bay.
Take a Look at the City by the Bay- San Francisco |

"no consequence shoplifting"---figures
I will not comment on this thread, since I gave up on SF after the murder of Kate Steinle They all have what they wanted and deserve now. |
According to Fox News yesterday, you can now shoplift up to $950 in broad daylight without recourse. The police will not respond to any robbery at that amount or under and, even those who are arrested face no bail. One can only imagine what would happen to a store owner or manager who took it upon himself to confront a perp with a shotgun, a bat, a lead pipe or even his fists. Californians are pure nuts to put up with this insanity.

It appears you can shoplift anywhere now in the USA, and get away with it. It's part of the "Great Reset". Sad, but true. |

Not just San Francisco
Quote:
While police look the other way, it's not clear why private security also refuse to 'detain' the thieves. If I owned a store, I'd hire a security team to take back the stolen merchandise. If that resulted in an escalation to violence, then the police could be called in. Don't know if anyone has tried walking out of a Costco without paying -- they check the receipts at the exit door. I wonder how they would handle a thief. |
You get what you deserve. They voted for that, they got it. That's what they want. Stop complaining. president Eggplant supports it... :bigbow:

Let SF, LA, SF, Chicago etc etc suffer from their own stupid voting patterns. the rest of us just laugh |
The sad part about all of this, is that IMHO most Americans have felt that the people we elect to govern us are smarter, wiser, more responsible, and have a genuine desire to serve "us". My mother used to tell me "too bad we can't vote for the best candidate, these days we have to vote for the least worst". Maybe in the past politicians were honorable people, but these days politicians are a bunch of self serving, money thieving, power hungry leeches regardless of party affiliation. They are all millionaires and live apart from us "peasants".

No Longer a Good City
I visited and stayed in San Francisco over many years and it was one of the favorite cities. No longer. There is an under belly that a number do know about. I was staying with some friends just outside the city near Sanford and one of the maids was going into the city and asked if I would like to go with her for the ride. I said sure. We went into the Mission District and she purchased for $50 each a drivers license, green card, and SS card for her brother who was coming to the US from South America. It was interesting that I had the opportunity to witness this first hand and gained some understanding how the US is being abused. This was a few years ago. Fisherman's Wharf was a great place for snacks on fish, or Giadarilli Square for ice cream or candy bars. Some interesting facts are the Trans America pointed building is built with huge springs on each corner to protect against earthquakes. The Bart Transit line is build on small stones in the bay to allow it to shift a few feet in a earthquake, there are or were huge sand boxes at the stations to catch any cars that did not stop because the wire on the tracks that controls stops may have rusted.:ho:
