Whatever you do in manner of becoming vocal about such dysfunctions, attending SFPD meetings, building support for ballot measures by getting the community involved and other efforts to address dysfunction, graft and full blown corruption in the city's affairs ... whatever else you do
Please Do Not Leave The City
Set down roots here if you want to change the way this city functions and lives.
If you can, own a home ( I know that is asking a lot in the current climate ). Home ownership is key to instilling a sense of belonging to the city. This is one of the areas in which, the gay population of Castro has succeeded mightily. Good for them.
If you just pick up your things and leave - like previous middle class residents of SF have done, to Oakland or even beyond - this city will never change.
This city needs sensible people.

- Kalium 12y agoAs I understand current SF politics, trying to change things makes you the subject of hatred and protests. Not an encouraging set of results.
- wozniacki 12y agoHow can this possibly be? How is it possible for the leftists to have an absolute stranglehold on San Francisco politics, especially for so long? Is there not even a moderate wing, here?
- Kalium 12y agoLike most any place, the people were there first see themselves as priviledged and those who come later as undeserving. In SF, this takes the form of "natives" and "techies". Left and right is the wrong way to look at it.
