SF doesn’t want to enforce laws and fun things are less possible when violent idiots attend.
There’s a demographic skew when it comes to violent idiots and people with more virtue signaling than sense are trying to turn “violent idiot” into a protected class and strangely start celebrating many of them.
So we can’t have nice things that attract people who tend to hurt others.
BTW, for all you downvoters. How is closing down the Stanford outdoor hiking club not proof of this kind of thing? You have hikers and they are accused of violating some sort of diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice protocol. It's because there's some other group that has some sort of grievance with people hiking and in order to prevent conflict they have to layer on more rules and bureaucracy to keep all the grievance energy from crating a big dust up, scandal, someone suing the school, etc. They have created all these mobs of enraged activists marching around everywhere looking for someone to enrage them so they can feel validated. The school, to defend themselves creates more rules, more bureaucracy, less controversial fun, etc. Banning Halloween in the Castro was just the kickoff event to the long downhill slide since then.
In other words the whole “right of passage” where you’d dump a young teenager in the woods with a knife and a fishing pole and tell them “good luck” needs a modern equivalent.
Human beings seem to have a sort of suffering constant where it doesn’t matter how awful or easy your life is, you find about the same amount to suffer from regardless if you’re a billionaire or an orphan foraging in a garbage dump. People with really comfortable lives are finding troubling things to suffer from and it needs to be addressed and soon.
We need a better proxy for maturity to do things like vote than just how many years you’ve existed.
In pretty much all jurisdictions, the latter group is more forceful, more aggressive and more determined to take control to impose their own flavor of authoritarianism, left, right or otherwise. The only group consistently failing to take control are those that would take control and actually make a point of leaving you alone.
