San Francisco gets a lot of conservative hate for a place so close to being an anarcho-capitalist experiment.
San Francisco gets a lot of conservative hate because it's the proving ground for many left wing policies. It's a high tax city, in a high tax state, with possibly the most left wing population in the country. And what do they have so show for all those taxes and left wing government programs? Not much.
That San Francisco has the same violent crime rates as Orlando Florida and Mobile Alabama in itself isn't noteworthy. What makes it noteworthy is that the left keeps pushing for similar policies across the country when the results show those policies just don't work. With the amount time, money, and effort being spent San Francisco it should be an exceptionally nice place to live. But it isn't. It's still no better off than Nashville, Orlando, Mobile, or a dozen other cities that, by comparison, have done little solve problems like crime and homelessness.
If Wallgreens wants to have a store on every block in the Tenderloin, then they will have to pay security guards enough to intervene and stop thefts in progress (stop relying on public resources—police—to run your business).
For decades the left has been saying we need to pay more tax so a bigger better government can solve these problems. And here you are saying "stop relying on public resources" to solve exactly those problems. If San Francisco was a business you'd be suing them for bait and switch.
