      I have relatives just outside of downtown San Fran. "Better than its ever been". LOL. That's because what they value is the inclusion, as if San Fran was not inclusive 20 years ago. But you know what they mean. Decadence and filth and drugs has sort of become a hallmark virtue sign for progressive cities and they all covet that.

      Hi. And on the flip side, now I know exactly why a friend of mine moved away. We were coworkers back in the late 90’s and kept in touch via snail mail over the years. He said he was leaving and I couldn’t imagine why. It’s really hard to see these images, ones we NEVER wanted to exist. The echoes that are left behind. So sad.

    I’m 3rd generation San Franciscan. My great grandparents came from Ireland during the famine.
    My father was born in 1903 and survived the earthquake. I was born in 55 ( yes my dad was an old dad).
    I lived there until age 5 and we moved because our neighborhood was getting rough, however it was just part of the city. I worked there in the 70’s and 80’s.
    It was really nice then . The city was crowded with workers and tourists, it was beautiful, my heart is broken to see it now.

      Yep. I was born in San Francisco in the 1970s . My parents migrated to san Francisco in the 60s. It was a booming town and they bought a house in suburbs in San Jose CA. The houses back then were brand new and they cost about 22000 dollars in those days. Look at san Francisco now. It's a dead place.

    Extremely sad but they did it to themselves. I’ve lived in San Francisco twice. Once when my family immigrated here to the states and then again in the mid 2000’s. It was always my favorite city and was vibrant and beautiful. I was back one year ago to visit and the best way I can describe it is you own a house you love but lease it out. They end up trashing the place beyond comprehension to were it’s not repairable and is a total loss.

We are ending up dominated by big business that can afford to buy the politicians and can afford to have an army of lawyers looking for loopholes. Small sandwich shops, taquerias, corner stores, can't afford a thing like that, now we end up with no social mobility, no jobs, communities blighted.

    Charles Phan's Slanted Door restaurant was THE best vietnamese food on the west coast, bar none.
    You saw how big that restaurant was, located on absolute prime real SF estate
    Charles Phan was one of *the* biggest restaurateurs there...
    That man brought in *millions* of dollars in revenue for that city, but the city f*cked him over by delivering a one-two punch of shutting him down over covid and then making construction costs for renovation so prohibitive that he not only closed it permanently but he also closed his other location on Fillmore, AND sold his house there. The man gave SF the giant middle finger and said, "See ya..."
    Thanks, Leo, for proving to the SF residents who come on here saying, 🤡 *"Everything's fine!"* that things are NOT fine there. You showed locations all over the city, not just in one area
    San Francisco used to be a premiere foodie town. Not anymore...

    California was a paradise! It really was! You could see orange groves and nut trees from the freeways. San Francisco was the best place to visit and shop at Christmas. Ghirardelli Square was full of lighted decorations and Christmas trees! Fisherman’s Wharf was the place to go for a great seafood dinner. Visitors from around the world were seen carry bags of San Francisco Sourdough Bread. Movie theaters, museums, orchestras, operas, live theater- every kind of water sport along the beaches up and down the coast. California had so much going for it. Now, people, and their employers!, are leaving in droves. And the national news is pushing Gavin Newsom for President. Delusional.

    I've heard people echoing Gavin Newsom and saying, "But the $20/hr. law is only for LARGE restaurant chains." Well, here is why that doesn't matter: If you have a small restaurant and DON'T pay $20/hr, your employees are going to go to someplace that does! Therefore, $20 is now the BASE WAGE for all restaurants or they will go under because of no staff.

    • @garyballard179
      @garyballard179 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      What they fail to understand also is that those "large chain restaurants" are primarily franchises; small business owners paying to use the famous name. So they have to pay for the franchise rights _and_ the $20 min wage. And, they're under contract with the brand and can't easily get out of it.

Without a tax base, the way of life will continue to deteriorate, creating business waste lands. It doesn't take a genius to see what is coming. Oh yeah, Newsom just gave 700,000 illegal immigrants free health care which will cost the state at least 6 Billion dollars the next year. This will come out of the state budget which is already in a huge deficit. The piper is coming, be prepared to pay a lot more in taxes and stuff.
