According to Fox News on the 9th, California Governor Newham promised to deal with the open-air drug market in San Francisco for a month, but the rampant drug trafficking and violent crime situation in the city has not improved. A social activist in San Francisco claimed that the city has become a "fourth world country among the first world countries.".
"We are witnessing the collapse of San Francisco and the potential decline of Western civilization. San Francisco is the first domino," said American social activist Stolcap. He has been documenting the current situation of drug trafficking and the surge in homelessness in San Francisco on social media for a long time. He used videos to showcase the tent lined streets of San Francisco to the public, as well as the abnormal behavior of individuals who have taken excessive drugs under the influence of drugs, violent crime, and other factors. "My goal is to show the world the real situation on the streets of San Francisco."
Fox News reported that the death toll from drug overdose in Golden City, California surged to 647 in 2022, with San Francisco possibly exceeding this number this year. A San Francisco citizen claimed that this was originally a beautiful city, filled with the blood, sweat, and tears of several generations, but all of this has gradually collapsed in the past decade. Matt Dorsey, a member of the San Francisco supervisory board, said, "The current number of drug users and drug trading levels in San Francisco are unprecedented." Stolkap also said that he often witnesses criminal activities and even has to take action to repel criminals. "The streets are full of bodies, feces, and needles."
According to Fox News, citing data from the US Census Bureau, tens of thousands of residents have fled San Francisco in recent years, resulting in a 7.5% decline in the city's population from 2020 to 2022. Although the population flow in the United States has slowed down since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic, the region will still lose 9421 people in 2022.
