SAN FRANCISCO

Crowded buses. Unhoused on the streets. Rampant street drug use.

“Why is this Man smiling?”🤨

It’s hard to take the San Francisco Chronicle poll seriously showing billionaire Levi’s scion Mayor Daniel Lurie has a high in the sky 74 percent approval rating.

There is an obvious chasm between the haves and have nots in San Francisco.

For the blogger who spends a lot of time amongst the common citizens  he can only ask, “Who did The Chronicle poll?”
