Is San Francisco still a liberal city? The answer is « yes, » of course but they’re a lot less liberal than they were two years ago.
In 2022, San Francisco voters recalled far-left District Attorney Chesa Boudin, whose radical lineage included two parents who were convicted of murdering police officers, 1960s radicals Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert. Fellow radicals Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, friends with Barack Obama, later adopted Boudin.
Perhaps that was the epitome of San Francisco radicalism. We’ll have to wait and see. Since that recall effort, Mayor London Breed has governed less radically, and she’s running for re-election in November on a platform that calls for more police officers and cleaning up the streets.
On Tuesday, San Francisco voters passed two referendums that could only be called « conservative. » Proposition F called for welfare recipients to be tested for drugs before receiving benefits.
