Dude, I literally live in California. San Francisco to be precise.

I grew up in Brazil and I can assure that SF is scary. I feel safer in my hometown in Brazil (so called 3rd world) than in California (not everywhere, though). After 9 years living there, they already broke into my house once (in a nice neighborhood in RWC and 3 times into my car in SF).

I don’t know why people keep defending SF like it’s not crazy bad. This is just about ideologies. Admitting that SF is a shithole at the moment, won’t automatically make republicans right and democrats wrong. Maybe there’s just a few things that we should reconsider.
