The @CAGOP’s immune system is working — we declined to endorse the Nick Fuentes fan for a statewide office, and backed his Republican opponent instead.

Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and hatred of women has no place in our party.

San Francisco is now a model for how to fight crime.

A few years ago it averaged 86 car break-ins per day. Today: 15.

SF did two things:

1. Got a DA that prosecutes criminals: Following the successful recall of Chesa Boudin, DA Brooke Jenkins started prosecuting prolific offenders and said so loudly. Crime dropped every year since she took office.

2. Put tech to use: In 2024, SF activated 400 license plate readers and deployed 80 drones citywide. This tech feeds officers live intelligence on suspects in motion. Drones alone have assisted in 1,000+ arrests since then. The technology lets authorities solve crimes as they happen rather than depend on much more intensive, legally perilous post hoc investigations (which ironically are often more intrusive than using tech).

The results:

- Car break-ins down 85%
- Robbery down 30%
- Burglary down 33%.
- Homicides hit their lowest level since 1954.

Plate readers, drones, a prosecutor who prosecutes. That's the whole formula!

Austin has the opposite approach. License plate cameras are effectively banned. Jail bookings are down despite repeat offenders victimizing innocent people regularly. Bond violations went from 37 in 2020 to 250 last year.

SF proved crime is a choice. Austin, so far, keeps making a different one.

Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them.

And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy?

Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

SFGOP Meeting on 2026-02-04
Speakers: Leo Zacky, Sheriff Chad Bianco, former California State Senator Gloria Romero

In 2021, I appeared in small claims court before Judge Michelle Tong and a judgement of $2,075 was entered against my company. In my opinion, Judge Tong misunderstood California Civil Code and showed no appreciation for the real-world challenges of maintaining and operating HOA communities. I will be supporting Mr. Tartaglio.

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

Workers rights attorney Anthony Tartaglio is running to unseat San Francisco Superior Court Judge Michelle Tong, a decision inspired by The Standard's reporting on a case involving Judge Tong in November.

Incentives matter in everything, more than most people know, and there are few incentives anywhere in government to do ANYTHING #BetterFasterCheaperSmaller. And often the exact opposite. We need better policymaking, at all levels.

@sfgov is planning to order older high-rise condos to install sprinkler systems at a cost of up to $300k per unit.

Some owners will be forced to sell but it will be a huge payday for Sprinkler Fitters Local 483, the union pushing this measure.

This new law enforcement sobering center marks a fundamental change in San Francisco: If you do drugs on our streets, we will arrest you. And with this new resource, we will give you a real chance to enter recovery.

Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami.

The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue.

The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price.

Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over.

Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides.

Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores.

I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality.

People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving.

This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it.

If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

Unfortunately, no one can be told that progressives ruin cities. You have to experience it for yourself.

David Sacks: “San Francisco is a pretty obvious city to send in the National Guard.”

“We still have this problem of this blighted area on Market Street, and everybody understands that it's because they won't stop the drug dealing.”

“So you've got open air drug markets there on the main business thoroughfare of town.”

“Of all people, Gavin Newsom proved that we could clean it up.”

“Remember when President Xi came to town from China for that summit?”

“And all of a sudden, magically, that whole area was cleaned up in 48 hours. And all the drug addicts and all the drug dealers basically disappeared.”

“It shows that there is a way to clean this up virtually overnight.”

“So you could have a targeted operation here by the federal authorities to go in and clean that up. And I think that'd be a good thing.”

“There was actually an article in the San Francisco Chronicle talking about this, where the majority of the drug trade in San Francisco comes from a single town in South America.”

“And so yeah, it's like why couldn't you just round up this whole network in a very targeted operation and deport them?"

"And that would clean up a huge part of San Francisco.”

“This is a choice. We don't have to live this way.”
