Gutfeld: All the Mayor of San Francisco Just Needed to Do Was to Keep it Clean and Safe, Everything Else Is There

EXCERPT:

GUTFELD: "No, being the mayor of San Francisco is the easiest job in the entire world. When you think about all the qualities that make something awesome, looks, location, weather, personality, quirkiness, food, God spotted San Francisco, all of those. That’s there the moment you show up. So there are only two things left: keep it clean and keep it safe. That’s all you got to do. And what happens, that involves actual work. And nobody wants to do that work. And nobody likes the people that do the work because they’re, 'Oh, they might be cops. They might be blue collar. They might be not so liberal. We can’t listen to them.' And then, you know what, the other thing, when we talked about this crime stuff, I would go back five to six years maybe. What was the thing that we always got back? Crime is not — crime is a local issue. Remember that? Crime is a local issue. Well, it would have been a local issue if there was local journalism, if there was local news. And I know there is, but nobody is listening to them anymore. So when — so London Breed got mad because it’s not local journalism anymore. It’s national news because you’re talking about commercial real estate, tourism and grisly crime, billions lost. If you had a strong local news, local journalism, the living conditions of citizens probably would have been addressed sooner.”
