Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Anyone feel sorry for these pour porch pirates?

Our tolerance of property crime in places like SFO and Seattle is fucking pathetic. This is TL;DR but interesting I think if you've had to deal with the scourge of junkie porch pirates.

    in a city of Dickensian extremes like San Francisco, whose influx of tech wealth is increasingly pitting suburban expectations against urban realities.


    The bigotry of low expectations.

    SFO hasn't been an affordable place to live for, at least, 3 or 4 decades right? Why do progressives think anyone has a right to live in the 2nd most expensive real estate market in the US?
    And the problem isn't poverty. It's junkies. The explosion in property crimes in SF are almost all entirely due to drug addicts anyone claiming it's people trying to get money to feed their children is just lying to you.

    When you allow criminality to go unchecked it only leads to more crime. Dems say lets ignore it and it will go away. Kalifornia has emptied it's prisons onto the street. They no longer incarcerate a large number of felonies and have made a large number of felonies misdemeanors which also go without any punishment. There really isn't any parole or probation anymore. Irrevocable parole. Now that's fucking funny. It's only going to continue declining.

    Absolutely correct. Drugs aren't free but the needles and a "safe space" to get loaded are. Fuck these lefties are insane!

    Absolutely. You can't afford food and rent no matter the cost if you're a junkie. I wrote a nasty gram to my local council member in Seattle a few months about our local bum encampments and he idiotic retort was about cost of living in Seattle forcing people onto the street. I recently donated to her opponent.

    They created drug courts that would give junkies the option of going into rehab rather than being sent to jail. Even though the rehab rates of success are pathetically low. Now that the state of California no longer enforces property crimes under $900 or open public drug use, participation in these drug courts, even with their pathetically low success rates has plummeted. There is no longer any stick to compel people to go through rehab.

    Quality of life for the law abiding and the people who pay the fucking bills for everything do not matter. Our job is to pay for shit and shut up.
