A 20 story tower in San Francisco valued at $320 million dollars went up for auction
There wasn’t a single bidder. Not even for $1
The property is now vacant, because no one wants to make the investment in Democrat run San Francisco
High crime rates and homelessness are cited reasons for office buildings like this to not see purchasers
Bidding for the property started at $80 million, but no offers. A massive decline in value
WeWork used to be a major tenant occupying nearly 200,000 sq ft in this same building

@0xleegenz Gen Z should have spent more time learning how to make money instead of being concerned with pro nouns and dying their hair purple.

This is why California is a joke! This disgusting excuse of a man was charged and convicted of 16 counts of kidnapping and child mo..., and as a result was given three consecutive terms of 25 to life.
He is now 64 and has been cleared for early release due to California's Elderly parole program.
He was dubbed "the monster all parents fear the most", and now being let out when he still has time to do far worse things.
This is absolutely unacceptable! California, all of you need to stand together and stop this from happening.
How can anyone think this is ok?

The hateful rhetoric NEEDS to stop.
Lunatics are listening & trying to commit murder.

On Wednesday @RepJeffries called for “Maximum Warfare Everywhere All The Time,” with a picture of Trump. Again, this attempted assassin didn’t go rogue. Democrats created him with their rhetoric. He believes he’s a hero. They told him to kill Trump & he tried to do it.

It’s insane that 3 ribeye at Costco are $99 dollars. Beef has become unaffordable for many Americans and there is no relief in site.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. A jaw-dropping report finds that Gavin Newsom was warned 4 YEARS AGO on RAMPANT hospice fraudsters stealing from the taxpayer en masse — something Trump’s team now has to clean up
“A 2022 California State Auditor report warned Governor Newsom of ‘large-scale fraud and abuse’ in hospice agencies.”
The centers were clustered in the same area and were KNOWN to be suspicious
Yet Democrats funded them anyway.
We need politicians in PRISON for allowing this! @kayleighmcenany @SatAmericaFNC
Gavin must resign. Voters need to vote RED for @SteveHiltonx

Trump has called me an "election stealing lawyer," a "radical" and a "bad person." He has posted that I am "scared" and "should be." His FBI director said I am "the enemy of the Republican Party."
I won't stop speaking out against the threat Trump poses to democracy. Period.

You and your doctor should be the only ones making decisions about your care.
Instead, an insurance company executive, someone who has never met you, never examined you, never looked you in the eye, gets to decide what treatment you can have. What medication you can afford. Whether your life is worth the cost.

@TomSteyer Break them up and what? Create the California utilities company? Eat a bag of dicks you commie fuck.

I’m going to break up the utility monopolies and lower your prices.
But you don’t have to take my word for it: PG&E is spending millions to stop me.

Investing in our transit systems to improve safety, reliability & cleanliness pays big dividends. It’s why we fight so hard to invest in these essential systems. Our state investment to help BART install these improved fare gates was a very smart move.
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta
BART spent $90 million on new fare gates. They're recovering about $10 million a year in fares. That's a 9-year payback on paper. The actual return hit in six months. Embarcadero station went from 112 hours of corrective maintenance in the six months before installation to 2 hours after. Daly City saved 109. Balboa Park saved 75. Across the system, 961 hours of cleanup work disappeared. Corrective maintenance is the term BART uses for graffiti, heavy soiling, vandalism, the damage that needs a crew not a janitor. At several stations it dropped to zero. Crime fell 41% year over year. Riders who reported seeing fare evasion on their trip dropped from 22% to 10%. Citations issued by BART police went from 2,200 in January to under 1,000 in July, because there was nothing to cite. The gates were a filtering project disguised as a revenue project. Old BART gates were waist-high orange fins designed in the 1970s. You could hop them in under a second. That made the station effectively a public space, and the rider mix reflected that. The new gates are 72 inches of polycarbonate with 3D sensors that detect tailgating. You either pay or you don't enter. Once you don't enter, you also don't smoke on the platform, sleep in the elevator, or harass other riders. BART tried hiring more police for years. Blitz operations at high-traffic stations. Increased patrols. Dedicated transit cops. None of it moved the numbers the way six feet of polycarbonate did. The $10 million in recovered fares is the smallest line in the return. Fare revenue used to cover 70% of BART operations. After the pandemic it collapsed to 22%. The gates won't fix that gap directly. They fix the precondition for fixing it: a system that office workers, families, and tourists are willing to use again. Ridership growth at stations with new gates outpaced ungated ones before the rollout finished. A $400 million annual deficit is heading to voters in November as a sales tax measure. Voters don't approve sales taxes for transit agencies they don't feel safe in. The $90 million on gates is buying BART the right to ask the public for more money. That's the real return on six feet of polycarbonate.

🚨 BREAKING: Voter ID is OFFICIALLY on the November ballot in California!
This is a total game changer.
California is home to more illegal immigrants than any other state and for years, questions have lingered about how many are voting illegally.
With Voter ID now heading to voters, we could finally get clarity: How many legal citizens are actually voting Democrat… or has it all been a charade?
Voters, this is your chance to MAKE CALIFORNIA GREAT AGAIN! 🇺🇸

@RepPressley You like watching Americans die at the hands of criminals. Just say it.

This is a disgusting, barbaric reminder of Donald Trump's cruelty and shameful disregard for human life.

@JennyBells20 @mitchellvii It’s a joke. Will the illegals not vote in this election?

@mitchellvii Hello from Orange County, CA. We love Trump. We also worked hard for the Voter ID initiative. We are loud and proud! Sound on!

We always think of California as being all liberals but really there are an awful lot of conservatives living there!
If you're a conservative living in California can you speak up here and share your story with us? ⬇️

@AnnieGlazers @mitchellvii Lmao. What better way to get voters id in a corrupt voting state than to,,, vote on it? California is cooked.

@mitchellvii I’m on the Central Coast of California and trust me there are a lot of us conservatives here. We desperately need Voter ID.
Not one Californian is better off today after 16 years of Democrat one-party rule.
I’m voting for Steve Hilton!

🚨 California is hemorrhaging residents!
High taxes, insane gas prices, ridiculous regulations, and total mismanagement under Newsom are forcing families to flee to nearby states.
Gavin Newsom destroyed the state.

🚨 HUGE news out of California!
Voters will FINALLY get to decide if they want voter ID at the ballot box. The ramifications here are massive!
California is the most fraud-ridden state in the union. Requiring ID to vote could break the Democrat machine that's run this state into the ground and end the one-party rule that's devastated working families for decades.
This is a generational win!
