The liberal mayor of San Francisco has now been forced to officially declare a state of emergency in the city’s tenderloin district as crime continues to spiral out of control.

As The New York Times reports:

SAN FRANCISCO — The mayor of San Francisco on Friday declared a state of emergency in one of the most crime-ridden and drug infested parts of the city.

That area, the Tenderloin neighborhood, is just steps from city hall, but it has been ground zero for drug dealing, overdose deaths and homelessness for years.

In what many observers said was a sharp turnaround in both tone and policy, the mayor, London Breed, this week said she would pursue an “aggressive” crackdown on the “nasty streets” of her city. It’s a highly unusual move by a liberal mayor in one of the country’s most liberal cities.

“We are in a crisis and we need to respond accordingly,” she said at a news conference on Friday. “Too many people are dying in this city, too many people are sprawled on our streets,” she said, referring to residents who have overdosed.

The news comes as ‘smash and grab’ robberies by mobs of masked individuals wielding hammers and other weapons have terrorized many of the cities businesses.

    1. The only thing this DEMOCRAT is sincere about is keeping her job!!! That aside, she could care less!

      I’m sure the recent breaking and entering crimes in the nicer neighborhoods is not doing her poll numbers any good. So NOW it’s important to give the issue attention.

    2. I heard about and I’ve made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. The potential with this is endless. 
      Here’s what I do… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤

    3. It’s about time! We live on the safe (for now) Central Coast of CA and wouldn’t even think about going up to ruined San Francisco!

    1. Not hard to understand why Moonbeam instituted mail-in fraud in perpetuity….otherwise people in Commifornia were likely to elect a Republican mayor again next time around…

      1. City policies! No! Nancy Pelosi lives there! With all the Money & Muscles she has, she could of done something years ago ! This is where she got the Idea of Pandemics, she knows more people are dying on her Streets then the whole Country has lost lives to Covid! Fact; by all means Folks check the Statts.

          1. To Florida… Wish that she would take her nephew, CA Governor Gavin Newsome, with her!!! Neither of them has done anything to clean up S.F.s problems.

  1. Citizens in urban areas are forever voting for Democrats who ALWAYS live by the words “Do what I say, not what I do” then wonder why everything goes to crap!

    QUIT VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE MORE ABOUT THEIR GOVT POWER THAN YOUR FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND OUR CONSTITUTION!!

  2. Where are the social outreach officers? I’m sure they can reason with these poor individuals in a humane and loving way, instead of the Mayor resorting to a brutish and uncivilized way. Shame on her! Is she now a reviled Republican?!

  3. LISTEN UP…..GOD Says ….THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. PREZ TRUMP Would have PUT the LOOTERS in Their PLACE. GOD is the BOWLING BALL…..EVILDOERS are the BOWLING PINS…GOD will STRIKE Them DOWN. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  4. Let’s Not Forget, This is Granny Nancy Pelosi’s Town & her Constituents, This is Nancy Pelosi’s Legacy !
    The Mayor only Jumped because Pelosi told her to !

  5. I wonder how such incompetent people get in office and even stay there, like Gavon Newsom. They added abetted rioters, made sanctuaries for unvetted illegal immigrants. Release convicted criminal from prison and didn’t expect these repercussions. Leads me to believe their minds are incapable of reason or they are actually bent on destroying the US.

  6. This mayor is an idiot… like this is a duh moment. She is an idiot because she got to the duh moment when many have said the duh moment would come and i bet there is far more misery ahead

  7. San Francisco has had dirty sidewalks , panhandlers and needles on the streets , parks and beaches for decades . Where is the money coming from now after the Mayor defunded the Police to give the money to the black folks ?!

  8. No wonder that woman who created this crisis is moving to Florida to destroid another city and another state. Thank Piglosi and idiots voters. I used to love and visit San Fran but that was long time ago and I leaving less then hour from. Now is filtth smel and crime. There is no hope for SF like there is no hope for California. Lost cause.

  9. After all the cakes and teas and ices,
    Will I have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? T.S. Eliot

    Well, will you, Mayor?

  10. The liberal mindset is so intractable anymore. It takes a city becoming utterly unappetizing in numerous ways for a mayor to take note? We assume that the power players live in gated communities or equivalent safe spaces, far from the madding crowd?

  11. The emergency is Newsom. Don’t forget, the voters refused to recall their child-governor, and now face a rejuvenated monster. He created a terrible emergency and now wants his voters to buy their way out of it. It’ll be costly but not to the child.

  12. If the citizens of san francisco think there’s a state of emergency, they should address it in the voting booth.

  13. It’s very like Goethe’s Dr. Faust the alchemist. He calls up evil spirits to assist him in his cause. But then once he is done, he can no longer banish them. Elect liberal loons without principle and pay the ultimate price.

  14. The people in San Francisco keep voting these fools into office they get what they deserve. Maybe they should continue to defund the police another great idea.

  15. This mayor like all the other Dems in major crime ridden cities is panicking….& they are all leftist lightweights….the voters who elected them deserve all the chaos!!!

  16. I guarantee you, the tenderloin district is NOT the only district where crime is out of control. it is just the only district wealthy enough to get it under control. If the minority voters whos districts are not being considered, then they should consider voting Republican, the democrats promise the moon and deliver nothing, while the Conservatives actually enact policies that DO benefit the poorest of the poor.

  17. For the Democrats, its all about Party and Power. They don’t care what affect their decisions have on the people. Democrats need to wake up and see what the Socialist Democrats are doing to their cities and the country.

  18. Ms. Breed made poor decisions related to her Police and bail issues, as others have in blue states across the country and now they have to live with what they brought on themselves. What did they think was going to happen? Their living with terrible results from their mighty ignorant decisions.

  19. So the Mayor of Turdville has finally had enough, it’s about time. Amazing how the left can be so corrupt that all their cities are broke and crime ridden. I have often wondered why the people keep re electing thises fools. I guess it must have something ot do with their bogus elections.

  20. It would be a real irony if she were to be reelected for taking strong action against a crisis she did so much to create.

  21. The obvious – if you would have enforced the law, you wouldn’t have this problem. You created the problem – you don’t deserve federal funds. You and your citizens should figure out how to solve this. Take some responsibility for your actions – you’re acting like a child.

  22. Mayor London Breed order a state of emergency for San Francisco because she also ordered that looting and vandalism is legal in the city. Perhaps she wants to round up the looters and make them pay city tax as a gratuity to be allowed to rip off all those stores in the Tenderloin district.

  23. Can a fool; become wise from suffering their own cause and effect; sowing and reaping?

    Even the blind, can be made to see.. but not so, for the fool!

  24. Just in time for midterms. However it probably doesn’t matter. The fools keep voting for demonicRATS and reprobates. So so so so hard to fix stupid

  25. California leads the nation with some of the most egregious far Left policies and wishes to destroy the remainder of the country with these insane plans. It’s about time the idiot mayor realized that without the police or law enforcement the worst of the worst would completely destroy the city. The mayor probably felt threatened by her own stupid policies, because the druggies were basically at her office doorstep. Otherwise, she may not have done one thing.

  26. Not surprising considering the assholes who are mayors in the state, and the number 1_asshole govetnorw.
    Maybe they can ask Chicago shithead mayor Lori Lightfoot for advice.

    You get what you voted for you dumb ass Dems so stop whoning!!!

  27. Its not possible to reveal the truth to leftwing democrats, with reason. Its requires the disastrous effects of reality to punch in some sense into these people.

  28. whats wrong with you people? I wrote something about Jesus and the truth and yall wouldnt put it here!!!!!!!!!!!
