Look, at a certain point we're going to run out of ways to make jokes about the hellish conditions in Democrat-run San Francisco. Before too long all the jokes we'll have made will just already be true:

Baseball bat-wielding gangs of children are mugging mothers and nannies on the school run in the latest crime wave to hit San Francisco.

Last week Noe Valley, also known as "stroller valley" because of the growing population of young families, endured 11 phone robberies that are believed to have been carried out by the same gang who are targeting women picking up children from school.

One San Francisco supervisor said that "kids not being in school" is driving the juvenile crime surge, and that the city is "going to be experiencing [it] for a while." Which is another way of saying: "For the next two months the streets are going to be filled with violent children beating women with baseball bats and we're not going to do anything at all to stop it."

The jokes write themselves. Except at this point they're not jokes. It's just the dying throes of a crumbling, once-great American city.

The city, meanwhile, kinda sorta maybe suspects that the brutal isolation of the COVID lockdowns maybe, just maybe, had a negative effect on childhood development in the city:

"Sociologically, who knows what was going on, but I would not be surprised if we are going to be experiencing the lingering impacts of that for a generation."

I would not be surprised either.
