Glad this isn't corporate mumbo jumbo but a real assessment of where they're at. Its impossible to make the changes that clubhouse needs to make, and iterate at the speed they need to iterate at with a large team, and the founders

The guy who hit the marina person on the head with a pipe was considered a "frequent flyer" by the SF police. They have tons (like 20+) of complaints against this person and the group they live with for various things like drug us

So much of the problem in SF comes down to the progressive politician types who only want to things that "impact the root causes of crime" and its extremely frustrating and frequently just plain wrong. Yes, you do not solve the &q
