San Francisco has been an emblem of liberalism gone awry in recent years, with crime, homelessness, and rampant drug use spoiling the once-beautiful city. In November 2024, the city’s voters wisely ousted the mayor, London Breed, and replaced her with Daniel Lurie, who promised to put forward measures to undo the damage of recent years.

He’s received favorable press coverage since taking office a year ago, and has been an improvement for sure.

Lurie recently signed a bill that would create a reparations fund for the city’s black residents, giving those who qualify up to $5 million each. For our readers who are black, move to San Francisco and get millions.

The bill is based on a 398-page report issued by something called the African American Reparations Advisory Committee. One of its other recommendations is to supplement the incomes of black residents to ensure they are at least equal to the city’s median incomes. The committee endorsed paying these annual cash supplements  for – we are not making this up – “at least 250 years.”

But the good news is that in the year 2276 we will be all square.
