Let’s not beat around the bush, and instead just get down to brass tacks.
San Francisco has opened its first $5.5 million free food “market” in an area where many grocery stores have left due to high crime. Approved residents simply show a benefits eligibility card, load their carts with whatever they want, check out — to keep track of outgoing inventory — and leave without paying a dime.
As I asked in the headline, what could possibly go wrong? And worse, why should already-strapped taxpayers who don’t live in high-crime areas be forced to fund those who do and who continue to support politicians who refuse to clamp down on out-of-control crime? They shouldn’t.
But this is San Francisco Mayor London Breed’s city and California Governor Gavin Newsom’s state.
