Major cities like San Francisco, places with year-round climates that attracted millions of tourists and skyrocketing real estate values, proclaimed that they welcomed “diverse” lifestyles find their downtowns abandoned.  San Francisco’s largest hotel owner just walked away from its lenders.  That was after Whole Foods, Saks, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Abercrombie & Fitch, Disney, Crate & Barrel, CVS, Walgreens, Williams Sonoma, and T Mobile, among other big names, left or announced closing.

Little Grand Haven, jealous of the lifestyle that made San Francisco the mecca of alternative lifestyles, has decided that this is the right time to declare itself “Proud and gay.”  Finding that being the magnet that draws thousands of normal people to the shores of Lake Michigan, the Midwest’s best-kept secret decided that this was the time to come out of the closet.

SF Mayor: 'There's More Feces ... Than I've Ever Seen'

It's what you get when Left-Wing Democrats are in control,

San Francisco Mayor London Breed, in her first one-on-one interview since taking office, said homeless advocacy groups that receive funding from the city need to better educate the homeless to "clean up after themselves."

"I work hard to make sure your programs are funded for the purposes of trying to get these individuals help, and what I am asking you to do is work with your clients and ask them to at least have respect for the community — at least, clean up after themselves and show respect to one another and people in the neighborhood," Breed told the Investigative Unit, referencing her conversations with nonprofit groups aimed at serving the homeless.

You have to be an idiot if you thing this is going to work.

Picture of an idiot.

San Francisco: Poster-Child For The Failure Of U.S. Cities' Blue Model

Blue-Model Fail: By any standard, San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. So why has it suddenly become an unappealing place to visit and to live? As with so many U.S. cities, it suffers a host of urban maladies. Blame the far-left Blue Model of urban governance, which now afflicts most major American cities.

Yes, the city by the bay is extraordinarily beautiful. But that's a result of geography and the city's distant past, not of its current political class, which is about as far-left on the urban political spectrum as any city in America.
