This made headlines nationally. Also this dude got killed in SoMa where all the rich techies live. I mean if you are paying $3700 a month for a one bedroom, your neighborhood should be safe. Also this guy probably was a multimillionaire. I get that major metropolitan cities downtowns aren’t that safe now, but you don’t see tech executives get stabbed often
This guy was rich and had rich friends. @AroundTheWorld The sad part is that he moved to Miami and was in SF just visiting
Sad part is he was just visiting (just after I was visiting) He moved to Miami because he thought San Francisco was not safe . This headline will only increase the exodus of tech workers. He was really famous and respected in the industry @Sweet Lou 4 2 @basso
Yes there are cities with worse crime rates downtown However if you dig into the data, how many people get robbed in a neighborhood where it’s $3800 a month for one bedroom? When you pay that much at a minimum, you expect you are in a good part of town that’s safe But since the city loves drug addicts and criminals And homeless people, they will do nothing to enforce laws that prohibit crime look at the Pelosi incident , no lunatic homeless person regardless of political affiliation should be able to breach someone’s home who’s worth $250 million dollars
I seent a homeless person taking a poop in a parking lot in downtown Houston.. early in the morning maybe 6/7 AM… it was very gross.
if reparations involves making a concerted effort to invest in black businesses, invest in schools in poor communities, putting an end to these racist loan and home valuation practices, trying to repair the damage done by redlining, holding cops accountable, etc and acknowledging the damage that slavery, Jim Crow, lynchings, race massacres, redlining, excluding black people from the GI bill, and pumping guns and drugs into black communities followed by over policing and mass incarceration have done then yes, I am in 100% favor and it needs to happen if reparations is just handing people money, then hell no the former would have lasting impact
When it comes to redlining the reperations would probably be a government subsidised affordable home loan. It ain't cash but I don't see what other means you can use to tackle the damage if redlining. An argument can be made that the central bind that is resulting in this wealth inequality between races is homeownership rates and homeownership probably is the fastest and most efficient way to solve that wealth gap.
Did these folks get reparations? They are celebrating on the bay bridge ! Maybe they finally can upgrade their 95 Mitsubishi eclipses
Why should they fix the public transportation system ? @Os Trigonum @AroundTheWorld if you got reparations everybody can be driving Bentleys
