San Francisco is experiencing a “mass exodus” as tens of thousands of residents leave the Bay Area while an influx of immigrants flood the sanctuary city, according to KPIX-TV.
For the first time in decades, more people are leaving San Francisco than there are new people moving to the city. The mass exodus has propelled the Bay Area to the nation’s leading city for “out-migration.”
One of the reasons for the exodus is the cost of living in San Francisco.
According to the Mercury News, the median price for homes in Silicon Valley fall anywhere between $800,000 to more than $1.4 million. That’s compared to the U.S. average of $206,000.
San Francisco has also become one of the most progressive cities in the nation over the last few decades, culturally and politically, meaning liberal policies rule the day. The city is also heavily taxed.
But another large contributor to the problem, no doubt, is the city’s “sanctuary city” policy. It was the center of a national controversy after an undocumented immigrant murdered Kate Steinle in 2015. Steinle’s killer had been convicted of multiple felonies and deported from the U.S. five times before he shot and killed Steinle. He found safe harbor in San Francisco thanks to the city’s policy that prevents law enforcement from working with federal immigration authorities. – READ MORE

We know this thanks to an interactive map created in 2014 called Human Wasteland.
The map charts all of the locations for human excrement “incidents” reported to the San Francisco police during a given month:
