President Trump is calling for National Guard deployment in San Francisco despite evidence of the city's strong post-pandemic recovery driven by AI investments and declining crime rates.

Why it matters: San Francisco's economic revival, especially in AI funding and real estate, contradicts calls for a National Guard presence.

The big picture: The city shows improving safety, rising tourism, and growing tech leasing, signaling broader urban and economic recovery.

The stakes: Deploying troops risks political backlash and may not address core issues like drug crimes or homelessness.

Commenters say: Many highlight the city's clear recovery and criticize the call for troops as politically motivated and disconnected from on-ground realities.
