San Francisco has the notion that drugged up people out of their mind have the ability and the right to live in a civilized society..
Rule by common sense, not ideology.

Here's another link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...
The US, as a whole, ranks #60, at 6.5 intentional homicides per 100k. This is just under Russia, Nicaragua, Haiti, Yemen, Afghanistan, Paraguay, and Tanzania, and only slightly better than Argentina, Sudan, Tunisia, etc.
By contrast, countries like Germany, Ireland, Norway, Italy, Hungary, etc. rank in the 150-160 range with 0.5 to 0.8 per 100k. Here in Japan, we're #181 with only 0.3/100k.
From my perspective, SF's murder rate is huge, and the entire US is a violent, "developing" nation. (I put "developing" in quotes because it seems like it's actually going backwards, unlike most developing nations, and the use of "3rd world" here doesn't make logical sense according to its original definition.)
That’s the definition also of a civilized society, how you deal with homelessness and drug addicts.
SF is clearly not a civilized place at all, or frankly the USA for that matter.
