Wealthy buyers reportedly in 'mad rush' to leave San Francisco

Amid the depths of a global pandemic and financial downturn, the demand for real estate is unexpectedly rocketing in wealthy regions outside San Francisco, reports Bloomberg. Agents say that demand is soaring in affluent areas around the Bay Area such as Napa, Marin and further afield in Carmel, as people who have the means look to get away from the city. Meanwhile, the market in San Francisco and Alameda County is still well below where it was last year.
Elsewhere, Lake Tahoe has also seen a surge in real estate interest. The prospect of living out of the city on an alpine lake while maintaining a career is appealing for a new generation of young buyers, as many tech companies have signaled that remote work may be the new norm for a long time.
“I’ve never seen the demand higher for Marin County real estate than when COVID-19 hit,” Sotheby's Josh Burns told Bloomberg this week, as real estate agents see a surprising uptick in wealthy buyers leaving San Francisco.
Agent Katrina Kehl of Compass warned her sellers not to expect much interest in their recent Mill Valley listing, as the country moves through an economic crisis. To their surprise, the couple received 13 bids and the home went over the $1.7 million asking price by "a lot," Kehl told Bloomberg. Sotheby’s agent Ginger Martin added that “there’s a mad rush to get out of the city.”
Meanwhile, the rental market in San Francisco has dropped significantly, with rates for one-bedroom apartments in the city dropping by 9.2% since June 2019, and hitting a three-year low.
However, buying a new home in an isolated haven in a nearby bucolic county is not an option for lower-income San Francisco residents, and some believe the trend is only exacerbating the wealth divide.
“This is an example of another way the most advantaged, the most affluent have isolated themselves from this latest crisis,” Patrick Sharkey, a sociology professor at Princeton University, told Bloomberg. “It’s a very small segment of the population that has another home that they can go take off to.”
Whether this change in demand away from San Francisco and into the suburbs is a short-lived reaction to the pandemic, or a more permanent change, remains to be seen.

Defund San Francisco police? Chief Bill Scott says he’s open to the idea

San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott signaled a willingness Monday to defund a portion of his department’s budget in response to calls for reform following mass civil unrest over police brutality across the country.
“We’re at a time in policing in this country where the whole world is speaking to us, and we need to hear what’s being said,” Scott said during an online forum hosted by the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club. “And what’s being said is we have to change the way we do policing in this country. And I think, for me, I’m open to that.”
Scott’s comments come after San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Shamann Walton said last week they intend to shift a portion of the Police Department’s upcoming budget and redirect it to the city’s black community. Key details about what that proposal will look like — such as how much money will be taken from the police budget and where the money will go — have not yet been decided.
In an email to The Chronicle last week, Scott said the department understood “it is necessary to embrace bold and courageous change to address disparate policing toward the African American community.”
The department, Scott said, recognizes that “it will take sacrifice on our part to fulfill the promise of the plan Mayor Breed and Supervisor Walton have proposed, and we look forward to working cooperatively with them moving forward.”
Scott’s comments during the online forum Monday were first reported by Mission Local.
Breed has called the plan to reduce the police budget a small reparation for city polices that led to “decades of disinvestment in the African American community.” The recent killing of George Floyd, a black man who died after being pinned and suffocated by Minneapolis police officers on May 25, also influenced the decision.
“While the events of the last week have been painful and traumatic for so many of us, they have brought forward the devastating impacts of police violence against African Americans in this country,” Breed said. “Reforms to any single system, such as the criminal justice system or the police department, must go hand-in-hand with closing the gaps and ending the disparities that we know exist.
“By bringing the community into the process of making these decisions, we can ensure that those who have been voiceless in the past now have a seat at the table as we make decisions that will impact their community.”
San Francisco’s black community has shrunk over the years to 5% of the city’s population. Despite the enormous amounts of money passing through the city’s economy, around 19% of black children live in poverty in San Francisco, and black people comprise 35% of the city’s homeless population. Black households in San Francisco earn just 28% of what white households earn, according to city data.
City officials have said decisions on how much to cut from police and where to redirect funds will be done in a “collaborative process.”
However, Breed has expansive authority as mayor over the city’s budgeting process. For four years she has supported increases to police staffing and increased foot patrols while encouraging efforts to build relationships between police and the communities where they work.
The Police Department had a $606 million budget last fiscal year, which came from the city’s general fund, or around 10% of the city’s roughly $6 billion general fund. San Francisco International Airport, which has a separate budget, also paid $78 million to the Police Department in that same period.
Discussions over redistribution will unfold against the backdrop of an unprecedented budget crisis for San Francisco. By October, the mayor, the Board of Supervisors and city departments must make painful cuts across the board to close a $1.7 billion budget deficit over the next two years — a shortfall created by the coronavirus pandemic.
The San Francisco Police Officer’s Association on Monday tweeted opposition to any budget cuts, saying, “Emergency response times are already too long, open-air drug markets, national records for property crime and now gun crimes on the rise. Take it from where?”
In a letter Tuesday to the Police Commission, San Francisco Public Defender Mano Raju urged the citizen watchdog group to hold off on voting on a police budget at their scheduled Wednesday meeting, or simply voting “no” on it.
“Instead, we ask that you come back to San Franciscans with a plan about how you will join those of us advocating for a much reduced and re-imagined police budget and police department,” the letter states. “The time for ‘business as usual’ in policing, police administration, and police oversight lapsed once and for all with the brutal killing of George Floyd on May 25.”
In the past few weeks, Raju said he’d received thousands of emails “asking for us — begging, really — to make these budget shifts right now in San Francisco.”
Similar requests have been sent to San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who said in a Sunday tweet that in 24 hours his office had fielded more than 1,000 emails demanding the city defund its Police Department. In an interview Tuesday, Boudin said that figure had exploded to 5,000-plus emails.
Boudin said he has no position on the police budget but stressed that every city department, including his own, was staring down a massive budget shortfall that requires a hard look at expenses.
Boudin said issues such as homelessness, mental health and drug overdoses are traditionally foisted upon police, even though other services could be better equipped for the job.
“It is really difficult for police to do the job they’ve signed up to do when they spend all day every day responding to requests that are not criminal in nature,” he said.
Boudin pointed to a mental health program called Cahoots in Eugene, Ore., as a model that could be followed. The crisis-intervention center is a nonprofit and acts as its own arm of the city’s 911 response services, with professionals on hand to respond at any hour.
“So when someone calls 911, they’re not just choosing between sending out a fire truck or a police car,” Boudin said.
The prosecutor added that such an option would make it more likely that people will call for help when facing a mental-health emergency.
“Many times people will not call, as they worry that if and when police show up we’ll have another Mario Woods situation,” Boudin said, referring to a controversial 2015 police shooting in the Bayview neighborhood. “We know that often times when people are mentally ill, and they get police involved, it ends badly.”
Supervisor Shamann Walton, whose District 10 includes the historically African American Bayview-Hunters Point neighborhoods, introduced a resolution last week urging the city’s Civil Service Commission, which sets the rules for city hiring processes, to create a blanket ban on the hiring of any police or sheriff’s deputy with a history of serious misconduct.
“We have continued to see our organizations inequitably disregarded and disproportionately left out of receipt of vital resources,” he said. “In these times of continued systemic and systematic oppression of black people, we have to be innovative and strong with our solutions.”
Walton said on Tuesday that he did not yet have a target number in mind for how much money should be cut from the city’s police budget.

I think this is a fair point to raise, however I disagree - anecdotally, the people I know who have had to use a baton have only seldom done so and in situations where it was entirely appropriate. So I think, whenever someone has to rack their baton they should already be at the point whereby doing some damage to somebody is wholly acceptable. We're talking broken bones at most mind you.
That, and a lot of the people I know who haven't racked one are big lads who will go hands on because they know they'll win. Smaller police need something to equalise this.

It's a gag made by the german org "Hooligans gegen Satzbau" (Hooligans against Grammar). It's real, but it doesn't do anything and is mostly a parody on frequent claims that Antifa is some sort of actual monolithic organisation with official, legal members who are wheeled around and paid for protests and stuff.

Mosely was right. He said if we had mass immigration but without the requirement for tose coming in to integrate there would be rivers of blood in the streets.
" As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood". That tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic but which there is interwoven with the history and existence of the States itself, is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect. Indeed, it has all but come. In numerical terms, it will be of American proportions long before the end of the century. Only resolute and urgent action will avert it even now. Whether there will be the public will to demand and obtain that action, I do not know. All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal."
Tell me he's fucking wrong. This speech was given in 1968. Fifty-two years ago.

Dang, good for her for seeing through this sort of manipulative bullshit at a younger age than I did.

Batons tend to be minimally used due to there usually being better, less justification required, tools on hand. That being said, what you said is not a counter to what I said, in fact it supports it in a sort of way.
My point was that modern batons are difficult to accurately gauge appropriate force with. Hit too hard, and its just like hitting too hard with a club. Very potentially lethal. Hit too weak, and its basically going to do nothing. These batons tend to be very light, and are quite difficult to gauge exact force applied with. Now, lets take your anecdotal word on board, word I actually wholey agree with, and make it a high -stress situation where heavy force is needed.
Now you have an unreliable weapon, which you likely have little experience using in real world situations, in a situation where you cannot stop and think about the force neccisary.
This is why I dislike modern batons.
Compare this to an old-fashioned billy club or even one of the old nightsticks. These tend to be solidly built, fairly uniform in weight, and are -very- easy to reliably determine force applied. Heft serves a purpose, when you can feel something heavy in your hands it etches into your memory easier. This makes it easier to drill with and train with one of these older methods so that when shit hits the fan, muscle memory alone can suffice to prevent excessive or insufficient force.

Ok ok, i stop now. sorry but this was somewaht fitting. So has anything outside of CHAZ changed? My localnews isn't reporting much about riots and looting. Have they all calmed down? Or did the snatching the FBI did actually work out?

I've a friend going through similar at the moment.They have been fairly vocally condemning the riots and violence and seriously taken aback at the virtiol, hate and spite they've been on the end of. Had to explain to them that "the Left are a bunch of bigots and the second they realise you do not think exactly like them, they will round on you and rain shit on you"
It's sad they are going through it but nice to know they are learning this younger than I and so many others

Addendum to my prior post: If anything, I support the idea of training with batons more. Take, for example, George Floyd's death. An old fashioned baton would have been -ideal- there since you could use it to brace against his back with your body weight keeping the rest down. A single person needed, highly efficient, and actually fairly safe for both involved.
A good solid piece of wood can do a lot using modern training methods to be a safe tool for subduel and harm prevention for both police and criminals. A lot of tactics that older batons could be used for are simply no longer possible because the newer batons are easier to break.
I do wonder just how much modern policing has given up to 'better' technology, losing track of why the older methods and tools were so useful. A physically fit, well trained person, with an old baton can do things that no amount of pepper spray, tasers, and even guns could do.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California sheriff’s deputy was shot in the head but survived an “ambush” by a gunman intent on harming or killing police and authorities said Wednesday they were investigating whether there was a connection to two recent deadly attacks on officers.
Authorities were looking for Mason James Lira, 26, a transient from the Monterey area of the Central Coast, and he was considered armed and dangerous, the San Luis Obispo Sheriff’s Office said in an announcement late Wednesday night.
After wounding the San Luis Obispo County deputy in the small city of Paso Robles, police believe the shooter killed a transient and then eluded an intense manhunt. Police sought the public’s help and released photos from surveillance video showing the suspect — a young dark-haired, bearded man.
The shooter opened fire around 3:45 a.m. on the back side of the police station in Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson said. Officers were inside at the time and windows and a door were shot out but no one was injured.
A dispatcher monitoring security cameras saw the attack unfold and called for help.

I hide my power levels all the time (it's difficult) I never give my opinion online about these things and I wouldn't be surprised if
a lot of the people that I know think I also support BLM.
Tell your white BLM supporting friends that nice words ain't enough and post a gofundme-link (there are plenty to chose from) as a comment
when they post something online. They will feel some social pressure to donate and post a screenshot of it as reply.
Don't overdo because then it's too obvious you're trolling.
If you have friends who attend rallies then point out their White privilege and ask them to make & wear White Shield t-shirts

She gets it! Good for her.
They've taken one man's death (who, lets be honest, they didn't give a flying fuck about prior to his death) and turned it into a disgusting piece of political theater.
