It may have to do with the fact it use to be used as an example of a great progressive city and changes its gone through. I grew up about an hour and a half from San Fran. The city was amazing. Everything about it. The people, the shopping, the food, the entertainment, the culture, just the overall feel. I loved taking day or weekend trips even if it was just to walk around. The majority of the area was this way imo. Sure there were still bad parts of town but they were completely overshadowed by the good areas. Over the years, the good areas have gotten smaller and the bad areas have significantly grown. There is rampant drug use and crime. There is a massive homelessness issue. Most woman I know do not feel safe in a lot of the area. Whether all these changes are due to Democrat policies, I do not know. But it makes a good talking point for conservatives to use when talking about democrat controlled cities.
