Elon Musk says San Francisco feels 'post-apocalyptic' as crime shutters stores
2023-05-05
[NYPOST] Twitter CEO Elon Musk lamented that 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 downtown feels "post-apocalyptic" now that businesses have fled because of rampant crime.

Early Thursday morning, Musk replied to a Twitter thread discussing Nordstrom’s closure of two stores in San Francisco at the Westfield Mall.

The mall’s owner, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, said in a statement major stores like Nordstrom, Whole Foods and Walgreens have fled the downtown area because of "unsafe conditions" caused by "lack of enforcement against rampant criminal activity."

"So many stores shuttered in downtown SF. Feels post-apocalyptic," Musk tweeted.

Musk has been outspoken about crime in San Francisco, where Twitter’s headquarters is located.

After the shocking murder of tech executive Bob Lee, who was fatally stabbed in what was supposed to be a safe and upscale neighborhood, the billionaire said San Francisco’s "violent mostly peaceful crime" problem "is horrific."

Statistics show that San Francisco ranks below other major U.S. cities for homicides, with about 6.9 homicides per 100,000 people.

#6  I'm afraid we are still in the present-tense Apocalyptic stage. Like, opening scene.

Wait until they hand out all that money to Blacks, and only them and the ultra rich can afford to eat.

And then the food trucks no longer make their destination.

#4  Decades ago I remember my Mom and Grandma shopping in downtown SF and dragging me with them. It was quite the event--with them dressing up, even putting on gloves, to go downtown.

Well, good-bye to all that.

Yes. What the rest of us call summer will be cast as "gerbil worming pushes up murder rate" by the media.
