Op-Ed Suggests San Francisco Is Proof of How Dems Have Become Their ‘Own Worst Enemy’

An op-ed published by The New York Times is suggesting Republicans are not the only ones frustrated with San Francisco.

The op-ed was written by Michael Moritz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, and is titled, “Even Democrats Like Me Are Fed Up With San Francisco.”

Opening the op-ed, Moritz acknowledged Fox News’ Tucker Carlson has “plenty of reasons for portraying San Francisco as a crippled city, hence his fondness for broadcasting clips of homeless encampments and drug addicts.”

However, he added, “Mr. Carlson and his ilk have less interest in understanding why these problems exist.”

Moritz declared that San Francisco has “become a prize example of how we Democrats have become our own worst enemy.”

He claimed issues including human rights, housing, mental illness and public education have “all been crippled by a small coterie who knows how to bend government to its will.”

The op-ed continues, “This astonishing city that I have been lucky enough to call home for more than 40 years has become subject to the tyranny of the minority.”

Mentioning brokerage giant Charles Schwab’s decision to leave 🌴California, Mortiz added, “Even major figures who hail from San Francisco, and who in many parts of the country are viewed as irredeemable leftists, such as Gov. Gavin Newsom of 🌴California, seem at times embarrassed by the condition of their hometown.”
