Part 2/10:
San Francisco, historically regarded as a beacon of innovation and natural resilience—surviving earthquakes and epidemics—has succumbed to internal decay amid its embrace of progressive policies. The city disbanded 500 police officers, resulting in a breakdown of law enforcement and social order. As a consequence, property crimes surged to record levels, with nearly half of residents reporting being victims of theft or assault. The city’s district attorney admitted that only 2% of auto burglaries led to prosecution, embolden criminals to operate with impunity. Over the past two years alone, San Francisco has lost approximately 250,000 residents—an exodus driven by deteriorating safety and chaos.
