San Francisco started a trend some time ago of chasing people out of the city. These people would then migrate to other areas, including, originally, Portland, Seattle, and eventually, Eugene Oregon, etc.
Destroying livlihoods allows the big corporate players to monopolize the business community. Back in the day, if a chain store appeared in the Haight Ashbury area, for example, it would be fire bombed. The hotels, restaurant groups, etc would pay outrageous taxes... Big property chains, including realtors, rental groups, etc, could take people's homes and use them to cater to the tech working elite...
Meanwhile property owners who for decades, provided housing through acceptable "illegal" inlaw units were suddenly punished. The permit process was designed so only the richest could afford to wait for the city inspectors, and hire union contractors... hence the city got to raise property taxes to obscene levels.
These misguided children of privalege that happen to check the boxes for cancel culture, are of the exact same ilk. The mayor of San Francisco along with Pelosi, and Newsom and other district leaders have systematically destroyed San Francisco. And this destruction has now been sanctioned for the entire West coast area.
Using Covid and sincere protest of much needed reforms the local governments in these areas have used rioters as an army to destroy local businesses. By systematically allowing the destruction of these businesses, and Forcing businesses to shut down, this destruction is being sanctioned by elected officials who are supposed to work for the people.
The government used the same disinfo and agent provocators to destroy the Hippies who had built sustainable, enriching communities on the West Coast.
So what is the Long game? The people that give to the political elite will buy up the lost businesses, they will reward the politicians financially, and make the entire West Coast an area that is for the moneyed elite and foreign interests.
