Greenberg Blasts San Francisco Mayor's European Junket

Mayor Breed enticing European tourism amid rampant drugs, crime filled streets back home.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Richie Greenberg, San Francisco activist and organizer of the recall of embattled district attorney Chesa Boudin, today chastised mayor London Breed's ill-timed 10-day tour of European cities and her meetings with leading airlines.

"San Franciscans are questioning Mayor Breed's overseas escapade; she seeks to increase tourism (which is essential to our economic recovery) while ignoring sections of our city's nearly uncontrolled crime. She lacks resolve in correcting our famously failed criminal justice system under embattled district attorney Chesa Boudin. Mayor Breed's silence [on the crime surge] is shocking. Her record of poor decision-making continues such as her costly, failed "Declaration of Emergency" in the Tenderloin bodes poorly. Moreover, we are shocked by her recent labeling those of us questioning her policies "right-wing".

"Armed home invasion robberies, Asian hate crimes, neighborhoods overrun with drug dealing, and swaths of our city's downtown shuttered are what we San Franciscans grapple with, on a daily basis. Tourist, however, are specifically being targeted starting from their arrival at the airport, their valuables stolen right from their rental cars in nearly every corner of the city with impunity. Chinatown merchants are currently being targeted; they plead for city hall intervention. Foreign news crews were robbed at gunpoint, the most popular tourist hotpots are surveilled by criminals ready to strike. Thieves know they won't be held accountable for their crimes. Madam Mayor, European tour operators and airlines need to know the truth."
