Part 7/8:
San Francisco's liberal policies, including decriminalizing drug offenses and allowing tent cities, have created an environment that some feel is no longer conducive for business, families, or for maintaining a high quality of life.

As long as crime and homelessness remain unaddressed, businesses may continue to flee, leaving this once-vibrant city struggling to adapt to an ever-changing landscape.
