> The growing wealth inequality leads to all sorts of other dysfunction including increased crime, worsening services, etc. as the govt cannot raise enough taxes.
Hold up. I don’t think the people of San Francisco grew weary of increasing rents and decided to turn to a life of crime.
Most of the “trouble makers” in the Bay Area are recent arrivals to the area and come because of poor policing and the government is generally more tolerant of them.
This is debunked every time it's brought up. The "trouble makers" you're referring to are local. It is not in fact the case that San Francisco mass-imports its downtrodden.
Gross. This isn't about whether the majority of underclass people in San Francisco are native Californians, but rather a case that crime in the US is the fault of Hondurans and El Salvadorans. More Hondurans end up in Texas than in California, but nobody is posting memes about how order has broken down in Houston.
