Great video! I appreciate your posting. It goes without saying that Pacific Heights is one of the most beautiful areas if not in California but in the United States as well. I have visited San Francisco several times over the past two years and each time I make an effort to visit Pacific Heights, if only to day dream that I am a billionaire able to afford living in one of those mansions with a view of the bay. Unfortunately, I make no where near an amount to qualify and will be lucky if I ever have enough money to live on in retirement. San Francisco has a lot of problems and they were caused by the political decisions made by city and state government and can be solved by local government. Unfortunately, I don't believe that there is enough political will to make the right decisions to clean up the rest of San Francisco and is becoming so unaffordable that only the people that live in Pacific Heights will be able to afford the cost of living there! Thanks again for the video and I intend to visit San Francisco later this year and will make it a point to stop by Pacific Heights and Mel's Diner on Lombard Street! Since I can't afford San Francisco, I stay in places like Mountain View or Point Richmond which have access to parking and other amenities that a lot of the hotels downtown do not have.
Thanks for your comment, Bernie. Well put. As much as I love San Francisco, I can't pretend that it doesn't have its issues. I've been here for 30+ years and have seen a lot of changes - good and not so good. The City definitely has challenges that must be addressed; and you're right, local government has mostly been inept at tackling big issues like affordability, crime, and homelessness. As a society in general, we need to do a better job of addressing income inequality and mental health issues at their core. Locally, San Francisco needs to eliminate the gridlock concerning new and affordable housing as well. Whenever you're in town, feel free to message me and maybe we can meet for a bite at Mel's Diner! It's my son's favorite restaurant! 😊
Seriously? This city is over! The californian political decisions become SF in a place terrible, dangerous and dirty. Unfortunately, for me, that adore this city and, now, become a prohibition place for me.
@josemonteiro833 Thanks for your comment. Sorry you feel that way. I'm not sure when you were last in San Francisco. Yes, there are challenges here like every large city, but much of the mass media has misrepresented what it's really like.
on our worst day, San Francisco is still the hands down best city in America. The pandemic dealt a harsh hand, with many businesses closing. This city will always bounce back. Earthquakes, fires and techies come and go, but the outstanding beauty of this city will always be here.

@pwp8737 - thanks for your comment. I agree, San Francisco is nothing, if not resilient...and certainly beautiful!
