San Fransicko collapse watch! - Designated shitting thread!

[Jump]

@Jump I imagine a lot of that has to do with the wild success of DEMF.

It's a lot of things. Government finally figured out they just need to get the fuck out of the way and good investments started to happen. IndyCar is coming back to down town Detroit and signed for 3 years. That's Superbowl type windfall for your local economy.

Ive been to SF and Detroit semi recently. SF was a absolute shithole when was there not to long ago and it sounds like it has only gotten exponentially worse. If I had to live in a city given the choice of SF or Detroit I would 107% chose D every single time. People who live in SF really exist in a total bubble. They have no idea how nicer and easier things are in other cities and they are completely smug about it.

I guess they imagined then all other cities looks like Oakland just the other side of the bay.

A mother was raising her son in a city she loved. Then San Francisco changed and stole her boy​

Quarantine California. Build a wall around California to keep them in. Open it in 100 years and see if they solved their problems yet. Until they manage that then it should be legal to shoot at CA plate cars and enact a Visa to move out of the state. Prove you're not going to turn the next place into shit.

I cannot fathom the levels of nigger worship it takes to consider this a downside.
Also Denver is like 50% white lmao.

Denver and the entirety of Colorado is on the downwards slope of Californication. It's past terminal infection rate and can only become good again after it burns to the ground. Many of the natives are leaving as it fills with Califonians, New Yorkers, Texans/etc. Texans don't sound so bad until you realize they are only stepping the next stone over from CA >TX/OR > CO.
Denver only rates that white because it's full of illegals who, obviously, don't report or they mark themselves white.
America needs some form of Nigger and spic LATINX control to stop the slow infection. If you think spics LATINX aren't so bad you'll have another thing coming. Their food isn't worth it, it's easily replicated slop.

I'm just marveling at the implications and potential consequences of that article title, I'm not even going to click on the link.

More and more, I suspect that Socrates might have known a thing or two about democracy.

That was arguably Plato using Socrates as a mouthpiece, but your point is one I increasingly agree with as I get older.

'Course the people in line to be our Philosopher Kings in this current age are nobody Plato would've thought favorably of, either.

San Francisco was cool 20 years ago, think TechTV, Mythbusters, the dot com boom, Lucasarts and Lucasfilm, at least that's what I thought back then.

Now look at it.

I see it all the time. Cars from before 2012 with names like "California" and "Cali" in reference to their easy going but sporty style.

What's worse is the games. San Fransisco often appeared as a setting and again, the portrayal is something completely different to how people think of it today.

I saw a YouTube video about Japan that talked about how most westerners assume Japan as a futuristic wonderland, which it used to be in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, but now it's time locked there, with people still using flip phones and fax machines.

Denver and the entirety of Colorado is on the downwards slope of Californication. It's past terminal infection rate and can only become good again after it burns to the ground. Many of the natives are leaving as it fills with Califonians, New Yorkers, Texans/etc. Texans don't sound so bad until you realize they are only stepping the next stone over from CA >TX/OR > CO.

So what happens when they run out of states to migrate to?

Horizon: Forbidden West portrays San Francisco as a burnt out wasteland prowled by deadly machines. So it's pretty accurate.

I have solid source (shit lib friend who hasn't drunk all the koolaid) close to San Fran so I can put some current context on the implosion.

The last DA, Chesa Boudin, was the son of literal terrorists, and he wasn't able to convince the people that SF wasn't dying around them, but the new DA, Brooke Jenkins, doesn't seem to be doing a much better job.

Boudin, and by proxy Mayor London Breed, helping create the current hellscape of SF cannot be overstated. Boudin effectively stopped all prosecution of Nogs, Spics, and Homeless, preventing ADAs from filing charges. The Police then stopped even trying to deal with crime because the DA was never going to charge the criminals they arrested for anything less than aggravated assault. Jenkins is much better, but the police are still demoralized and they lost of a good officers who went to areas that weren't dystopian hellscapes where they could actually do police work, and Jenkins is dealing with a DA's office full of people who were on board with Boudin's batshit lunacy, because anyone who actually wanted to see the law enforced left or was removed.

The only way you undo the damage done is by electing DA Dredd, but anyone sane moved out of SF years ago. Or is in a gated enclave with armed security sending kids to private school.

I don't see how they can be profitable with these locked up cabinets.

tl;dr: Scale. SF has a ton of people with a lot of money. So you can mark everything up 300% percent and they will pay becasue they have no other choice and you will sell a shit ton.

Until very recently, the constant theft by homeless & nogs was still offset by the amount of shit that was being sold at Urban Markup. What has changed is Cartels and (cheifly) Vietnamese Mafia are organizing shoplifting rings. A handler recruits idle nogs & homeless, gives them a backpack and offers them $20-50 or drugs if they bring it to a meetup spot full of shit from CVS. Some homeless guy swiping a bottle of astoglide was a rounding error, but the rings are now clearing out entire stores. They already have destinations, some in CA & NV but a lot in Vietname/SEA/AUS as well, adn they are able to handle as much product as they can get.
THIS is what is causing the stores to close up shop. And this is the sort of easily forseeable rot that is the end game of legalizing TNB.

And this is considered normal, or at least ignorable. California is going to be considered a decadent shithole in the history books.

A heavy restructuring of American society. We'll see gated communities with private schools filled with armed security and a heavy shift from public law enforcement to private. Will be hilarious and depressing at the same time.

Last i heard we're seeing that now in California.

I visited San Fran quite a few times in the past. It is my favorite city, but the last time I was there was about 6-7 years ago and I'm a bit worried about going back in case it fucks up my memories and knocks it off the top slot. I'm planning on taking my kids there soon, mostly to do the touristic stuff. Is there anywhere that's safe and nice to stay still? Stay outside the city and BART in?

I was supposed to go back a couple weeks ago but the trip got cancelled. Last year when I was there the usual tourist areas(Ferry Building, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39) seemed to be the same as in the past, the usual amount of 'local color'. You might consider a large chain Hotel in the city, like the Hyatt Regency near the ferry building. BART from the Peninsula(San Bruno/Burlingame) would probably be fine, but I wouldn't personally recommend it from anywhere east(Oakland) with a family.

Usual caveats apply, don't look away from your stuff or children, stick to the well traveled areas in daylight. Don't look like a target(or a Target either), save the map reading and looking lost and not knowing how to use transit for some other city. Consider Taxi/Lyft/Uber if you want to go places where transit may be 'interesting'.

(Writing this I wondered to myself if someone is going to start doing tours with security to the more colorful parts of San Francisco, Portland, etc. Sort of war-zone tourism.)

And the people (I use the term loosely) in those gated armed communities will be loudly demanding unrestricted migration, gun control, decriminalisation of everything (except gun ownership) and all the progressive degenerate bullshit that leads to this societal collapse.
