1. I sure wish they had solved many local problems first

They are sooooo far behind on solving the drugs/homeless problem. WTF?

Make our city more habitable, affordable, and welcoming. Then you can lecture other cities about how they do business. Our cops are all trying to find jobs in other cities because of the leadership void, and Amazon has tried to find other cities to call home. The city council (starting with Ksharma Sawant) needs to apologize for having their heads so firmly up their backside...
