Billionaire Michael Moritz slams Dem-run San Francisco's drug-addled 'zombie zones'
|
| Everyone is conservative about what they know best, ‘tis said. |
[NYPOST] A billionaire venture capitalist and partner at Sequoia Capital
| ...a China-linked investment company that donated to the execrable Lincoln Project alongside Bain Capital and other left-leaning groups. Partner Michael Moritz personally donated $100,000 two years ago. On the other hand, they heavily backed Elon Musk’s Twitter acquisition, so there are some brains there.... |
has blasted the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
’s seedy, drug-addled downtown — lambasting the city’s Democrat leadership that "bans plastic straws but permits plastic needles."
"It’s a strange city that bans plastic straws but permits plastic needles. Yet that’s San Francisco today," Michael Moritz,
| ...he’s Sir Michael, KBE back in the olde countrie, possibly as thanks for massive donations to Oxford University, but over here he worked as a journalist before moving into investing.

68, seethed in a fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
op-ed published in the Financial Times on Wednesday.
"Between 2020 and 2022, 1,985 people here have died from drug overdoses compared to 1,143 from Covid-19," he added.
The former journalist-turned-investor said rampant and unchecked drug use has turned the City by the Bay into a "zombie" land.
"Fentanyl, the synthetic drug that is 50 times more powerful than and a fraction of the cost of heroin, has turned many blocks of the city into zombie zones," Moritz wrote.
Moritz provided a lengthy list of the issues plaguing San Francisco, including "the highest commercial office vacancy rates of any big city in the US" and "a public school system whose enrollment has fallen and which has only 55 percent English proficiency and 46 percent maths proficiency."
The venture capitalist also decried the sky-high housing costs that make the city "prohibitively expensive for all but the wealthy."
