San Francisco Mayor London Breed Joins GOP Effort to Reform Prop 47

San Francisco's Democrat Mayor London Breed has endorsed a Republican effort to reform Proposition 47, a controversial law that made it easier for criminals to get away with theft and drug crimes. The proposed reform aims to increase penalties for fentanyl dealers and repeat organized retail theft ring participants, as well as provide mandatory treatment for drug users. Breed's endorsement comes amid soaring crime in her city, with statistics showing a sharp rise in homicides and rapes. The city's property theft rate stands at over 3.1 times higher than the national average, leading to businesses and citizens fleeing the area, causing a potential "doom loop" of permanent decline.
