Nolte — Poll: Desperate San Francisco Residents Embrace Conservative Ideas
San Francisco residents appear to have finally had enough of what they voted for and are now open to embracing some conservative ideas, according to a poll.
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce’s annual CityBeat poll was conducted by EMC Research and surveyed 500 likely voters between January 17-21, 2024. The margin of error is ± 4.4 percent, but these numbers are so overwhelmingly one-sided that the margin of error is meaningless.
After years and years of one of the most left-wing cities in America getting exactly what it voted for in the form of violent crime, filthy streets, drugs everywhere, and a vacant downtown caused by all three — along with insanely high taxes — these dummies appear to have woken up. According to this poll, after just a few short years of living with the reality of their stupid ideas, the people of San Francisco are now hardcore Reaganites demanding tax breaks for corporations, drug tests for welfare recipients, and some gosh-darned law and order.
“FOR LEASE”: Closed, Vacant Businesses Line San Francisco Street as Retailers Flee
Tiny-Remove-3734 / LOCAL NEWS X /TMXHere are the highlights…
- Sixty-nine percent say crime has gotten worse
- Only 61 percent feel safe visiting downtown during the day
- Only 34 percent feel safe visiting downtone at night
- Eighty-four percent want financial incentives offered to small businesses
- Eighty-one percent want the same incentives for big business
- Seventy-one percent want tax incentives offered to fill business vacancies
- Sixty-one percent want an increased police presence via drones and surveillance
- Sixty-one percent support drug screening for welfare recipients
I guess we’re all MAGAtards now.
It’s that last number that blows my mind. Never could I imagine a city as far-left as San Francisco demanding drug testing for welfare recipients. But that’s a big part of the city’s problem. The government is funding junkies to remain junkies. Why leave a city where your habit is subsidized by taxpayers, where you can open a tent on the streets, where you can brazenly shoplift $900 worth of stuff every day and never see the inside of a jail cell?

Lyanne MelendezDoes this mean San Francisco will save itself?
No.
Never.
These blue cities are doomed. It will take a Republican to make the results of that poll come true, and no Republican will ever win an election in the City by the Bay. The residents are too demented, prideful, and stupid. A poll is one thing. Pulling a lever for a “Nazi” is another.
And to the fate of San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Oakland, and the rest, all I can say is… Who cares? I live here, so I don’t give a damn about any of these cities. Urban America is not my problem. Urban voters are getting what they voted for, and if they want to burn it all down, burn it all down. Living filth does not affect me. And none of this is anyone’s fault but the voters. It’s a shame, sure. But life’s too short to stress over what I can’t control.
Cities at Breaking Point in California, Colorado, and Maine over Biden Border Crisis
With more than 40,000 migrants arriving since 2022, Denver is at a breaking point with the weight of the costs of delivering free housing, free medical care, free legal advice, free education for their children, and other things to migrants.
In response, Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has come down to massive budget cuts to city services to legal residents to address the issue.
Up until last month, Denver has put $42 million into caring for Joe Biden’s flood of illegal aliens that have inundated the Mile High City. The costs may amount to more than $180 million this year, according to the New York Times.
Mayor Johnston said that the $9 million coming from the federal government to be dedicated to the migrant issue was simply not enough to solve the crisis. So, to address the shortfall, Johnston says the city needs to pick up the difference.

Breitbart Texas“We are going to have to make changes to what we can do in terms of our city budget and what we can do in terms of support for newcomers who have arrived in the city,” Johnston said on Feb. 9.
“We want to continue to be a city that does not have women and children out on the street in tents in 20-degree weather,” he added. “And we also want to provide all our constituents with the services they deserve and the services that they expect.”
“This is a plan for shared sacrifice,” said Johnston said.
Johnston went on to propose cuts in services to city residents.
Perhaps absurdly, the Democrat mayor tried to blame Republicans and Donald Trump for the illegal alien issue and claimed that Trump scotched a a “bipartisan Senate deal” and he and Republicans worked to “kill that bill just so this crisis would continue just because he thinks he has a better chance of reelection.”
Many citizens may not be buying Johnston’s naked political attack on Republicans.
Residents of nearby Lakewood are worried that their town will also succumb to the overflow from Denver.

On Monday, Lakewood residents packed a city council meeting demanding that their elected officials create policies to prevent the sort of mess that is swamping Denver, CPR News reported.
“What you see tonight is informed voters who have watched Denver’s decline, and don’t want the same here,” resident Dawn Austin said during the meeting were some toted signs reading, “Don’t Denver Our Lakewood.”
“This community cannot afford this,” said Ramey Johnson, a former city councilwoman who has helped organize the people voicing concerns. “It’s not that we are not a compassionate community. We are,” another resident named Ramey Johnson said. “But we cannot care for the world.”
City officials assured residents that they were not planning on opening any shelters for illegals any time soon. During the meeting, Lakewood city manager Kathy Hodgson told the council that “Lakewood is not being solicited for hotel/motel or congregate housing support.”
The Denver area is hardly alone. This budget busting destruction is not happening just in scattered cities. Budgets are being busted across the country as liberal cities race to shift money from police, firemen, libraries, and every other city service to the feeding and housing of Joe Biden’s illegals.
From Los Angeles, to Chicago, to Boston, to New York City, and up into Maine, not to mention in every corner of the southwest, cities are being swamped and outspent by the millions of border crossers who have come here assuming that Joe Biden has created a wide open border.
New York Mayor Eric Adams suffered a major backlash on Nov. when he suggested that he intended to cut hundreds of hundreds of millions from the Big Apple’s yearly budget.

And just this week, Maine state Senator Matt Pouliot warned voters that the state has thrown a hefty $13 million dollars to house just 85 families in hotel in Saco in cooperation with Catholic Charities of Maine.
Sen. Pouliot noted in a press conference on Tuesday that he and several other members of the state legislature visited the hotel in Saco, located just south of Portland.
“This hotel at which we’ve spent now over $13 million at,” the state sen. said. “This hotel has served just 85 families. Now think about that for a moment. We have 186 really bright minds in the legislature working on really complex problems. And somehow 13 almost $14 million is being diverted to help just 85 families. That doesn’t seem right.”
Republican Senate Majority Leader Trey Stewart echoed Pouliot’s concerns.
“It’s really striking to me that the folks in rural Maine are being told to do more with less, meanwhile Taj Mahals are being built for other folks in more urban places that aren’t even Maine residents, Maine citizens,” Stewart said on Feb. 14, according to The Center Square.
Republican House Minority Leader Billy Bob Faulkingham noted that more illegals have flooded Maine in just a year than moved to Maine to become legal residents since the year 2000.
Faulkingham blasted Democrat Gov. Janet Mills for putting “migrants over Mainers and added, “Just to put that number in perspective, it’s more people to move in than have moved in since 2000 – and Mainers are footing the bill.”
