San Francisco voters pivoted away from their progressive reputation Tuesday night, as a number of ballot measures meant to rein in crime and drug use overwhelmingly won the vote of city residents.
San Franciscans voted in favor of two measures - Measures E and F - which will, respectively, expand some police powers in the city and require drug screenings for adults receiving welfare.
Most people won't do anything about any problem unless it's becomes so freakin' bad they can't sleep with the pain. Toothache folks know what I mean. and most people won't do anything about a social problem unless it directly causes them pain. Like getting mugged or having a close beloved family member dismembered with a hacksaw.
gracious me, pretty soon they may have to fund their police farce again. They will need more people willing to show up and take notes about the uncontrolled crime. It wont ever be solved but they have a report. Great job guys!!
Nothing like a bunch of prodigal voters, is there?
