    Change location of wall to San Francisco. Encircle city. No entrances. No exits.

    They have the best and brightest running the city, in fact the state I live in is not so bright anywhere, happy to live in a small city near OR.

    I'm sure the new DA will take his job seriously by vigorously and aggressively prosecuting those flagrant scofflaws who dare to eat a sandwich in a subway station...After all it undoubtedly upsets those poor undocumented immigrants who are trying to smoke their crack pipes in peace......Ben

    At least they have good taste in art, however they can't agree about the environmental impact of paint.

    Ahhh…. it's a bit interesting to see my Conservative brethren upset about what happens in California. DA's can only do what judges allow them to do - so don't get too upset.

    California, my home state, is a Liberal bastion - get over it. There are also strong Conservative states. It is what it is. California remains an important and precedent setting state. I doubt that's going to change overnight. Hoping or cheering for the state's downfall is not particularly healthy or logical.

    Not true in fact the opposite is true DA's can choose not to prosecute, how to prosecute and what crime to prosecute and a Judge can do not a damn thing about it. It's called prosecutorial discretion. The only person that can affect a local DA is the State Attorney General or the voters when they run for re-election. A rouge prosecutor can severely damage a jurisdiction quickly. But like you said Cali being the "liberal bastion" as it is can always stand a few more criminals wandering the streets preying on the innocent and milking the public dole. So get over it......................I will.

    I started to respond to Utah's post above earlier today and was called away before I could get it done. Thankfully, our resident attorneys have answered. I agree with the esteemed counselors opinions.

    I struggle with understanding how I feel about SF. On the one hand its a beautiful place; vibrant and full of freedom and creativity. On the other hand it's liberal policies appear to be destroying it.

    California is in a tough place, some of their own making and some of it not. The state is sitting on a building volcano that is going to blow at some point and it won't be pretty. I hate it for them. I have friends there, many of them. The place is so beautiful so much going for it and yet we have stuff like this below which is terrible.

    I think the crew here has worked well while posting on this issue.

    I realize, of course, that many here will not agree with me on this one. But, having said that, I still appreciate the Democracy that's displayed here.
