Next, some news from the controlled demolition of San Fransisco, in two recent New York Post headlines.
First, from August 25th (last Friday):
Guess how many of the people who looted the San Fransisco Nordstrom location have been arrested? I’ll give you a hint: fewer people than were arrested for San Fransisco mask violations. Actually, it was zero. Zero arrests.
Next, four days later, yesterday’s headline (Monday):
A sad day indeed. And not just because the San Fransisco store was considered Nordstrom’s “flagship” store and had been operating for 35 years.
Why don’t they just rip off the band aid and go ahead and make shoplifting legal in California?
The good news is Nordstrom’s departure will depress real estate prices even more, allowing oligarchs a chance to buy the insanely-valuable downtown properties up for pennies on the dollar, after which the City can suddenly begin prosecuting its brownshirts, I mean criminals, again. It’s like Lahaina, except slower.
But wait! There’s a ready solution to all this crime that’s destroying our once-grand cities! Smart cities. Or Fifteen-minute cities, or whatever you call it. Where everything you need is located right where you live, right in your own high-rise prison, I mean skyscraper.
Who wants to bet we’ll be hearing about turning San Fransisco into a smart city soon?

I could believe the fire sale scam. However, how do the fire sale artists unlodge the faked election cycles and the moron apparatchiks, and then clean up the drug and homeless infestations? There has to be something to attract the business back to improve valuations.

After an overheated pandemic peak, home sales and sales prices across all segments have dipped—but the city’s most expensive homes have taken an even steeper dive. ...
A property at 3410 Jackson St. in Presidio Heights was put on the market in February at $23.5 million before eventually selling at $18.5 million in May.
Less than a mile away in Cow Hollow, a property at 2660 Scott St. that was listed for sale in January at $16.5 million sold in July at $13 million.
In Sea Cliff, a property at 9 25th Ave. that first went on the market last September at a $32 million asking price, saw a series of price drops before selling in April for $20 million. ...
In July, the median price per square foot for homes over $5 million in San Francisco was $1,468, a more than 20% decline from the number one year prior, based off three-month rolling data.
Sales for homes over $5 million in San Francisco are down 56% year to date in 2023 compared with a year prior. ...
Brokers like Stiewe attributed some of the drop-off in San Francisco to larger concerns among residents about urban problems like homelessness and public safety. ...
Lazier said she’s found high-net-worth families moving to San Francisco, drawn by the city’s strong labor market and tech industry, have taken to renting expensive properties instead of buying. ...

Sales for homes over $5 million in San Francisco are down 56% year to date in 2023 compared with a year prior. ...
The money San Francisco collected from a controversial 2018 business tax known as Prop C fell from $394 million for July 2019 to June 2020 to $218 million for the following year, according to the city controller’s office.
Prop C, aimed at housing the homeless, specifically targets companies with revenues of more than $50 million. The drop in Prop C revenue was far greater than the 12% decline in revenue over the same period from the tax that applies to all businesses, showing the extent to which mobile workers and their employers left the city during the pandemic.
Appearance of Pirates in San Francisco Bay Leaves Boaters and Marinas On Edge
It's a headline you don't expect to see in North America, but pirates are now operating in San Francisco Bay.
Major news outlets including the San Francisco Chronicle, CBS News, and ABC have all reported the sudden appearance of thieves and marauders targeting marinas and boaters under the cover of darkness.
According to ABC, thieves are arriving at night aboard small watercraft and using bolt cutters and other break-in tools to gain access to unoccupied boats. Several sailboats have been stolen, as well as small watercraft, dinghies, tools, and outboard motors.
Boat owners are blaming nearby homeless encampments, while police have so far declined to issue a public statement. Boaters are also pointing the finger at 'anchor outs' -- people who keep boats, which are often stolen, and live rent-free by continually moving their anchor location to avoid police.
Somebody who steals something from an unoccupied boat is not really a pirate, he's just a common burglar. Piracy requires a little bit more ballz than that.
In case you were wondering about exactly who in San Fransisco is in favor of the city’s controlled demolition, last week a group of totally-sane citizens led by San Fransisco’s most liberal Supervisor Dean Preston held a rally at City Hall in favor of looser drug enforcement.
... Among other notable accomplishments, after his election to the board, Supervisor Preston passed legislation making it illegal to evict tenants during the pandemic. Here’s one example of an earnest, non-ironic sign from the rally:
So far, these barely-functioning people are somehow winning in California’s most iconic city. This photo illustrates San Fransisco’s current status:
It looks a whole lot like there’s no drug enforcement. Yet the protestors and Supervisor Preston called for looser drug enforcement. How is that even possible? Do they want the city to install fentanyl vending machines or something?
Sunset Beach: for those who think the problem is just downtown. It's spreading all over the bay area into the suburbs.

Everybody in the Southern parts of Europe knows not to leave anything in the car.

Theft in Southern Europe is fairly low compared to demonrat destroyed cities such as SF. France maybe, Italy has hardly any theft, not sure about Spain
Don't have the numbers to compare (share yours), but I was warned to keep the car completely empty every time I visited Rome, Paris, Florence etc. in the 90s, 00s and 10s. Never been to Spain but it's a known fact that people get their purses and camera bags snatched off their shoulder by scooter-riding cunts there. We are shocked by this kind of stuff now, because it's not the norm for us yet, but it is and has been pretty common in Europe for a long time. It is ruled by demon rats after all and being soft on crime has been their schtick since at least 70s..
Barcelona has to be theft capital of Europe. Just about everyone I've talked to who's been there has been robbed there, both purse snatchings and theft of things when they weren't looking.
That happened to me in France. We parked a Chrysler minivan and took a short walk through a park. When we returned to the van, we found someone had used a lock puller on the driver side door and took one of the womans' purse. We found the purse in the trash about a block away with all the money and credit cards missing. This happened in a nice area in Provence about 1995.

In the early 90's I was traveling with a woman (who I was not fucking), we took a train to Tuscany, and the criminals used sleeping gas to knock out the passengers so that they could rifle through everyone's loosely attached belongings. I had my cash hanging around my neck under all my layers of clothihng; she left her cash out and got taken to the cleaners. She was english BTW, so no love lost here.
This is crazy, never heard of anything like this. Are you sure it was sleeping gas
My one Euro journey, we were warned about pickpockets and Gypsies.
