Last week, Cash App founder Bob Lee was murdered in the "good" part of San Francisco after being fatally stabbed by a suspect who is still at large. Even more tragically, he recognized how terrible the city had become and moved his family to Florida just months earlier but was back in the city visiting. The senseless death was the latest to trigger debate over public safety in San Francisco, with Elon Musk chiming in that "violent crime in SF is horrific and even if attackers are caught, they are often released immediately."
He wasn't the only one.
Sara Foster, the daughter of musician David Foster, blasted the city's leadership.
"I have no words," the fashion model and actress said on Instagram, commenting on an article from the New York Post headlined, "Bystander ignored dying Cash App founder Bob Lee as he begged for help."
"SF is a complete s—hole," she added. "I am a registered Democrat and feel confident saying liberal politicians are ruining cities. Disgusting. My heart breaks for this family."

One day later, San Francisco's former Fire Commissioner Don Carmignani was brutally attacked outside his family's front door by a homeless man. He had asked the suspect and two others who were blocking his mother's driveway to move and was bludgeoned with a metal crowbar in the back of the head.
Residents are fed up and say that "no one is safe in this city."
While originally on board with the defund-the-police movement, Mayor London Breed reversed course the following year.
