I used to be pro legalizing weed, but the results are undeniable.
Every single place that has legalized it has become measurably worse.
This experiment has run its course.

The reason Japanese cities can have nice public bathrooms is bc the penalty for vandalism is three years in prison, the penalty for drugs in a public space is seven years in prison, and penalty for drug trafficking is life, all with 99% conviction rate.

The new hot trend with woke police departments is to describe unprovoked assaults and hate attacks as 'disputes' in order to cast aspersions on the crime victims. It's truly repulsive.
The SFPD is aware of this incident and has reached out to the victim. The SFPD takes violent crime very seriously and investigators are working diligently on this case.
Here is a synopsis of the case from our report:
On January 18, 2025, at approximately 2:08 a.m., San Francisco Police officers responded to the area of 24th and Bryant Streets regarding an unknown male in the street bleeding from the head.
Upon arrival, medics were already on scene rendering aid to the male subject. The victim was transported to a local hospital for further medical attention. During a preliminary investigation, a witness told officers that the victim and another unknown male subject were in an argument that became physical. Shortly after, the suspect fled from the scene.
No arrests have been made yet. This is still an open and active investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.

Violent crime is unacceptable in San Francisco and the SFPD has devoted resources to ensure the public is safe and perpetrators are held accountable.
The SFPD is working to make an arrest in this case, at which point we will work closely with our partners in the district attorneys office.

A friend is having problems with a homeless man setting up an encampment outside her home. He is violent when awake. Nearly 1/3 of LAPD is stationed in the Palisades due to the fires. It was already difficult to get the police to respond, now they are stretched super thin.
Sadly homeless-relates fires are once again relevant with @nypost reporting the #PalisadesFire was started by a vagrant.
Homeless-related fires are a serious problem & part of the reason we must insist people stay in shelters. To learn more read our report.

40+ RVs have been parked illegally on PCH for over a year. They have generators, propane tanks & highly combustible items. Elected officials who refuse to move encampments put the public at greater risk, especially during fire season. The city is not following its own fire code

As I’ve said repeatedly: Engagement in obviously antisocial behavior in public settings—like playing music on a speaker when no one asked to hear it—is often an expression of power backed by the threat of violence. The punk with the speaker is daring you to say something, and gets off on everyone’s silence insofar as it confirms his self-identity as tough guy.

When transit is used as a homeless shelter, people with options or low risk tolerance are going to start driving. Use of transit as a homeless shelter directly, substantively harms its role for transportation.

If you’ve been to Penn Station recently, when it’s cold outside there are homeless people sleeping on the floor everywhere. That corridor is packed with homeless people. They probably ran away after the fire started.

Allowing those who cannot care for themselves (often because of severe mental illness and/or drug addiction) to rot on the subways is neither harmless nor compassionate, no matter how good it makes progressives feel inside. It makes everyone in the subway system—including the homeless (see, e.g., last weekend’s immolation)—less safe. The subway is not a shelter system. It’s a transportation system. That system should be safe, welcoming, and pleasant to ride. This means enforcing basic rules, and not subjecting riders to unsanitary conditions.

this is what our open toleration of street homelessness is doing to American cities - death spirals. Businesses and residents find the situation unpleasant or dangerous and leave, reducing the tax base, which reduces resources to fight the problem, which...

person who studies the "politics of smell" suddenly can't understand the *politics* of public transit becoming used only by the people who do not have a choice
One thing american politicians, academics, media elites, all agree on is that public transit is charity for the poor

A year ago at the 34th St ferry terminal, I had to witness this very man, flailing about while he took a crap in full public view. The mentally ill homeless problem is not thousands of people but a few dozen known maniacs who shouldn't be on the street. nypost.com/2024/11/18/us-new…

We let dangerous people with mental illness walk free among us.
It is a deliberate choice by government.
They need to be locked up.
Save your sympathy for the victims.

So there's this homeless guy I see a few times a week outside Center Park. Though I physically saw him for the first time last Monday. Until then he was always hidden and often twitching under a tarp. (thread) nydailynews.com/2024/08/31/m…
