How does 'unregulated capitalism' cause SF to allow the theft of up to $1000 with a minor warning/no jail time? Another issue is high taxes in California (another left-wing idea). With taxes so high, the very rich are still rich and the middle class are living paycheck-to-paycheck essentially creating two classes: rich and poor. This is what happens in nearly every country that does this.
