San Francisco once touted as that beautiful “City by the Bay”
Has been despoiled by too many illegals, homeless, crime, OD’s
and the stench of urine and feces that block pedestrians’ way
Businesses have had to flee the city to escape the shopliftings’
adverse effect on the bottom line
Parking one’s car is an invitation to have it stolen or
broken into while one is brave enough to wine and dine
Tourists no longer to the City by the Bay flock
Today another tourist attraction known as the “Rock”
A former federal prison the held convicted felons the worst
of the worst
Alcatraz opened in 1929 but finally closed in 1963 due to
the rising costs of maintaining it curse
Is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area with
some 1.6 million visitors a year spending some $60 million to visit Alcatraz, a
major reason to visit the National Recreation Area
To generate some $1.2 billion which in tourist spending
would satisfy any tourist hot spot criteria
Trump has announced he wants to enlarge and reopen the Rock
And into its cells the most dangerous felons lock
Another economic blow that San Francisco will struggle to
weather
Wonder if it is Trump’s way to avoid activist judges anti-deportation
tethers
