The tape — what was actually said

Mayor Lyndon Breed had a press conference, and she's been tweeting, hey, we have to revitalize, you know, SOMA in San Francisco. That's never going to happen. That's off the table.
they're just not going to be able to hit their debt service coverage ratio. So they will be in default. What that means is, I don't understand how in a place like downtown San Francisco, half the buildings don't end up getting owned by the banks. Well, the banks don't want to own all these buildings, so it's going to be a fire sale. But I don't know who the buyers are going to be.
what we're realizing in San Francisco is non-prosecution of criminals, as the DA has undertaken over the past couple of years, leads to really heinous crime and rampant crime. ... But it doesn't mean that the movement is over. It doesn't mean that quote unquote wokeism is over.
And then since then, it's just been snowballing. And San Francisco has basically been sliding into what it's become. Miami just keeps blowing up.
the city has totally degenerated into some sort of dystopian Gotham-like city. ... This is just the beginning of what needs to be done. ... So we have a huge problem that the police department is actually, we have too few of them, we're understaffed.
I'm definitely out of here. If the boss of San Francisco is out of here, I'm definitely out of here. But I have some people, some other people to convince. ... This is the logical result of everything I've been warning about since the beginning of the year. You have prosecutors like Chase Aboudin who have essentially decriminalized theft by refusing to prosecute it.
We walked through Union Square and it was cordoned off with cop cars at every intersection. ... Every single store has had every single window boarded up like it's a hurricane season. ... But like Zara, The Gap, Nike, every single storefront has been boarded up. And then there are security guards outside and you have to make an appointment to go Christmas shopping.
CVS, Walgreens and Target are all closing stores or reducing store hours because they understand the hit to their bottom line.
my position right now is California is going to be on a decade long slide and I'm working for 10 more years. ... So why would I spend 10 years in a place that is on a debt spiral?
