San Francisco occupies a special place in the conservative psyche, with its problems dementedly caricatured and grossly exaggerated by people like Elon Musk, who rarely leave the Tenderloin to livestream their war zone reports. Its domestic affairs are often scrutinized like the Talmud for some greater meaning. When voters recalled progressive district attorney Chesa Boudin last year, it fed a narrative, fairly or not, that the progressive left was too progressive, even for San Francisco. I no longer read the innumerable articles about low-occupancy rates in the city’s downtown office buildings, because if you’ve read one of those think pieces, you’ve read them all. So when Mayor London Breed runs for reelection a year from now, you can bet her bid will inevitably draw national eyeballs and fuel Tucker segments about the fentanyl crisis, the “doom loop,” and why, exactly, the deodorant is locked up at Walgreens.
