Nearly all restaurants in San Francisco has experienced graffiti or vandalism.

Only 3% out of 74 restaurants surveyed said they had not experienced property crime, according to a new survey from the Golden Gate Restaurant Association.

The city has spent $1 million on grants for vandalism relief since 2021, and nearly 800 businesses have received $1,000 or $2,000 grants for graffiti, broken windows, or other vandalism, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

It's truly laughable that city officials think "Grants" are a solution for this problem. Really seems like that has done so much the past two years.

But that is what progressives do. They find a "solution" to the problem they created, and keep doubling down on that "solution" even though it just makes things worse.

In one recent incident, Supreme Pizza in the Mission District was hit with acid, owner Leandro Jayme showed ABC 7.

“This is acid, so you can’t just remove it,” he said, pointing to grime on a window. “They have to replace the glass.”

The situation is so bad that San Francisco’s 311 call center has received a⁢ staggering 10,000 reports of ⁣graffiti on commercial buildings and sidewalks in the last six months alone.

The San Francisco Police Department has even had to assign a full-time officer to investigate graffiti-related incidents because it is that bad.

Shuggie’s, another restaurant in⁢ the Mission district, received ⁤a grant but ultimately gave up on trying to combat the daily onslaught of graffiti.

This comes as the city faces another major problem plaguing the city - Shoplifting.

San Francisco’s stores have resorted⁣ to extreme measures to deter thieves. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and⁢ other retailers have installed security devices and hired private security to combat rampant theft.

Part of the reason for the increase in theft is Proposition 47, a 2014 voter-approved law that made the theft of merchandise under $950 in value a misdemeanor that is not usually investigated.

In other words, voters shot themselves in the foot.

But that is only a drop in the bucket.

The other issues at hand are not prosecuting any misdemeanors, watering down the majority of felonies to misdemeanors, not handing out long prison sentences even for the worst crimes, and never asking for bail.

Thugs know they can get away with just about anything these days.

How are progressives so blind at the urban ruin they have created? They literally destroyed what was once called ‘The Paris of the West.’ San Francisco was known for having some of the best restaurants in the country. And now nearly 100% face property crime.

Only progressives can make it so only the richest people in the world can afford to live there, while also it being a haven for drugs, violence, encampments, and other degenerate behaviors and conditions that only third world countries could dream of.

Progressives in San Francisco’s claim that they are the compassionate ones as they fix the evils of racism this country supposedly holds on to. But it is their permissive policies that have subjected people to incredible cruelty.

While the board of supervisors focuses on reparations for people who have never been slaves, residents are forced to deal with the ruins they have caused.

But I am sure grants and reparations will just fix all of this.
