SF reminds me of college campuses. I went to a liberal college town. Everyone was a bleeding heart liberal who wanted to save the world. They voted Democrat. Even when their homes are trashed or burglarized, having to pickup hypodermic needles from drug users who tossed it on the street so their kid doesn't step on it, or when they are confront with homeless who became violent.... they would still vote Democrat. It's not about the party. It's the fact the policy we have does not work. Homelessness and NIMBY have become the third rail of American politics.
