San Francisco mayor Daniel Lurie has eliminated 1,400 city jobs, cut $185 million in grants to outside non-profit groups that weren’t performing well, and steered spending to core services like police and clean streets. The city has cleaned up enough to impress visitors in town for Sunday’s nearby Super Bowl.

Lurie has also been on the hunt to end what he calls “insane” programs. Last month, he shut down the city’s $5 million a year “homeless bar” in the Tenderloin. Nurses would dispense vodka and beer to alcoholics when bars and stores were closed – all justified as “harm reduction” because it reduced their withdrawal symptoms.

Adam Nathan, the founder of a small tech company, stumbled on the bizarre watering hole on a walk and raised a stink. “This is not helping people get better, it’s about keeping people sick,” he warned. “We are living in the upside-down.”

The Salvation Army, which runs alcohol abstinence programs, agreed and Lurie has pulled the funding – another small step in San Francisco’s own recovery from its addiction to “woke” programs.
