San Francisco's rising crime problem returns to the spotlight

San Francisco’s disturbing violent crime trends are once again in the spotlight after Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was brutally assaulted in the city by a home invader wielding a hammer.

Upscale Pacific Heights, where the Pelosis own a home valued at $6 million, has not been immune from San Francisco’s crime wave, and in recent months a nearby neighbor revealed how he was robbed at gunpoint outside his own mansion in the area.

Major crimes in San Francisco are up 7.4 percent so far this year from the same period in 2021, with assault up 11.1 percent and robbery up 5.2 percent.

Amid scenes of misery on city streets, where drug use is brazen and homelessness is rampant, a recent poll found that a majority of San Franciscans believe their city is going down hill, and a third plan to leave the city within three years.

Some residents blame Mayor London Breed, whose earlier popularity for steering the city through the pandemic appears to have waned amid rising crime, the fentanyl epidemic and other woes.

Frustration with San Francisco’s decline has intensified in recent months, with the ejection of progressive DA Chesa Boudin in a recall election following community outrage over his perceived soft policies.

In recent months, Asian Americans have staged protests and disrupted traffic, angered by cops failing to protect them and prosecute hate crimes, particularly against elderly members of the city’s sizeable community.

San Franciscans arm themselves with baseball bats and stun guns for walk to work

San Franciscans in the SoMa neighborhood have taken to carrying around defensive weapons after a drug ‘sobering’ clinic moved into the neighborhood.

Earlier this month, some San Francisco commuters revealed they are arming themselves with baseball bats and stun guns after a newly-opened drug sobering facility drew violent addicts to a previously peaceful neighborhood.

Residents of the SoMa neighborhood in northeast San Francisco are voicing outrage, saying ever since the SoMa RISE drug sobering center opened in June, ‘troublemakers’ have plagued the neighborhood.

Residents told Fox News that rather than tempering drug usage, the center has done little more than draw heavy users to the neighborhood.

With those users comes crime, residents said, which casts a pall of danger over the neighborhood.

Hamid Moghadam, the CEO of Prologis, said that two armed robbers confronted him on June 26, flashed guns at him and took his Patek Philippe watch.

The executive says that the rampant crime rate has reached a tipping point, saying the city ‘may never recover’ because its residents have ‘no sense of security.’

Moghadam, who shares the neighborhood with some of the world’s most rich and powerful people, like Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, angel investor Peter Thiel and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to Bloomberg News, said the experience left him shaken.
