Shopping in San Francisco
 
Can you shoplift up to $900. in San Francisco and not be arrested?

My daughter lives there. She doesn't consider it bad overall. I am not questioning her thought process but I do try to understand why she feels that way. I have concluded:

She likes her income

Some areas are "better" than others

She has empathy for the homeless

She enjoys the weather

The overall atmosphere in California teaches you to accept this sort of behavior

She has far less living history of not accepting public homelessness, drug use, urination, and prostitution than I do.

She is probably like many of the residents of California.

It's too far to drive to shop in San Francisco.

I am glad I finally visited SF in 2016 on my way to Hawaii for a cruise, it wasn't AS bad then as I hear things are now. I also visited LA on the way back and got to celebrate in November 2016 before getting on my plane the next day.

I am looking forward to never going back to California. In the unlikely event I go back to Hawaii again, I will stop off in Texas or Puerto Rico instead.

I'm sure it won't get just as political and be deleted by tomorrow, or Saturday at the latest!

Went to SF few years ago for a couple of days before a cruise to Hawaii.

Enjoyed the time there but some of what goes on is way over the top.

It’s decriminalized to steal up to $950. However if the store owner shoots the robber he will be prosecuted.

I used to love going to San Francisco for the food, wine country, the Buena Vista Inn, etc. No more. The city will not recover until the citizens there wake up from their wokeness.

Shooting to stop a theft is always dicey, unless you believe your life is in danger...

Not if they don’t ever find the robber. 55 gallon drum and acid. Also silencer and bleach. Sorry I have been watching too much tv. Animal Kingdom now
