She's doing her best rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic telling everyone there's a party going on in SF if you can afford the luxury stores around Union Square for those who can't not so much.
She's a VP for JLL. "We shape the future of real estate for a better world As a global company, we have an inherent responsibility to drive sustainability and corporate social responsibility efforts. We collaborate with our clients to shape growth opportunities, transform through technology, and build strong communities. JLL's purpose remains steadfast now more than ever - we shape the future of real estate for a better world."
These people ARE LYING!!!! There is no vibarancy in this city. Businesses have left.....I left and sold my condo in 2021...in a hurry because I knew it was gonna get worse.
Yeah, you only have to notice how few people are about. Totally different from when I was last there many years ago when it was a vibrant place and you didn’t have to make an appointment to visit the stores as someone commented which I find unbelievable and more akin to soviet Russia when only the elites were allowed into luxury places.
I visited the City from time to time back in the early 2000's so the last time I went was around 2013. I went to the shopping district around Union square and it was a vibrant area with lots of tourists and shoppers. what happened? What are the city leaders doing about the crime and homelessness in the area? It has ruined the city.
I am like you and haven't visite for awhile. It was teeming with shoppers and I loved all the trendy stores especially womens clothing. What happened? I hear its full of crime and other not so good things. I don't understand.@@paullewis2413
The video does not disclose that this woman works for JLL and is a leasing agent for retail space. She's paid to push this propaganda. Even despite that, what does it tell you about a city that the positive selling points are that the square requires a full time police presence, surveillance cameras and volunteers cleaning up the place every day. That is supposed to convince me to view this as attractive?
Trying to position this as business as usual is hilarious. only luxury goods can survive having real estate in those locations. Positioning the fact that luxury stores are now appointment only as if it is to create a personal experience rather have the doors locked so no one can snatch and grab is also laughable.
Much nicer in the drug infested poorly educated GOP led Financial failures like Arkansas Lousyana Bama , Miss Tenn , Ky and West Virginia. Don t you think ?
The Hermes store only ALLOWS few shoppers. Shops use an APPOINTMENT method. There are police right across the street from the high end shops. To be exact, there are 1-2 policemen standing at Grant St and Maiden Ln with direct eyesight on the Hermes store.
@@theresaakins2317 The Grant St stores have requested auto barriers be constructed to prevent cars from DRIVING INTO THE STORE. Around 12/23 a car smashed through the door of one, Dior, and took jewelry and handbags. They caught one robber on the freeway. SF has police parked on the outer areas of the shopping areas, to be exact at 50 Post St, at Market and New Montgomery, to catch bank and store robbers trying to make it to the freeway. I have seen one bank robber being caught with the money bag in his hand. The police walked up to him at the end of an alley at Sutter, and offered him a cigarette. No capture and quick handcuffs, it was casual. And the cop lit his cigarette! . The store in the Macy’s block at Stockton and Geary St, I forget the name, was raided by 12 robbers about 6/23. 36% of all stores at Union Square/Grant St have closed. 54% of all stores in the City have closed overall. 12,000 businesses have fled SF.
@@theresaakins2317 Macy’s at Union Square just announced they are closing their store about 2/25. Imagine not having that huge store! And another super market at Fillmore and Geary St is leaving. This is the 4Th super market closing. Stores continue to close as of 3/2023. SF only has 4 men’s shoe stores left, Sketchers on Mission St near 20th St and DM Marten at Market and Powell, and Aldens and Allen Edmonds both on Sutter--$600 shoes.
I lived in SF for many years and this is laughable. The streets are empty, a few people on a block when there should be dozens, even midday, midweek. They slipped in the dedicated police presence and business alliance handlers in vests as if an afterthought, when in truth they are all that is keeping Union Square from degenerating into what the Westfield Mall became, before Nordstrom shuttered its doors. And yes, the "appointment only" gimmick is a security restriction, not an attempt to give the shoppers a feeling of special service.
@@cjay2 Why don't you search for a video of Union Square from today? There's giant Christmas market there with several closed streets. TH-cam is full of videos of it. Tell me what you see.
As a local, SF residents are sticking to the neighborhoods and spending their money there versus going downtown. People are still working hybrid partly at home and partly in the office which is the main reason for less foot traffic downtown along with online shopping. Crime and homeless downtown doesn't help.
This is government propaganda. With shoplifting having been decriminalized and the police refunded, and diminished surveillance cameras are actually pretty worthless in deterring crime. Homeless people, shoplifters and thieves don't care about them.
Of course if you walk down south to Market Street you'll see a totally different picture of empty deserted businesses. But, hey, if you can shop at Fendi or Louis Vuitton things are just fine.
I just got to San Fran yesterday. I can’t walk outside my hotel without stepping on needles, seeing someone openly doing drugs on the street. Or somebody following me while I walk my dog. This city is not safe
My cousin had a large beauty salon in Union Square and owned a condo in the high-rise building that was sinking. Before the covid insanity she would tell me about the crime, homeless and animals taking over, with many of her customers & employees not wanting to go there. She sold her business & condo in early 2020, she just went back and cried at how the leftist socialists in power have destroyed this once beautiful city. All of the restaurants are gone, 90% of retailers are gone, the malls & shops are empty and the streets are empty. This video reminds me of other horrific countries like North Korea & China, who built fake cities to show the world what a beautiful place it was.
There's so much spin on this story, it should have been flung out of the solar system by now. I've been visiting SF for a decade, it's now officially a toilet.
As a non American looking in and seeing other SF posts, this one seems to be for the exclusively Rich, I didn't see many people about, I have no idea what the layout of SF is, but this would appear to be a slick PR video especially with the cheesy lift music at the end!
Thanks for checking out the video! Here's where I went next that day, which is not luxury at all: th-cam.com/video/BE8DcxUzs0I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OnhU1w-k7iriEiJ7
I used to live in SF till 2019 at least. All I remember of SF and that includes Union Square is poops all over, the whole city smells of urine, needles all over the place, drug addicts doing it and injecting in bright daylight while police pass by and ignoring it, the Barts smells horrible. The whole city has an energy of very very dark energy. In fact I went also to Union Square to join the mass meditation when the world apocalypse supposed to happen on Dec 2012 which I never buy anyway however SF is just a very sad state of affair. I am so glad I left the city in 2019.
Basically have moved all undesirables from the area. Which means those undesirables have been moved to somewhere else in S.F. . . . Life as usual I guess. . . . Just saying.
Have been in San Francisco many times, the last visit there was last May, after 5 years since last time, and I found a deeply changed city , particularly the Union Square district. Many of the great shops and malls that I remember I used to visit in my previous visits are now closed and deserted. There were much less tourists around, maybe not yet high season ? Walking in the streets around, Bush st., Powell st. Post st. and so on, gives the impression to be in a decadent city, deeply in depression. I don't really understand how this lady could talk that way about Union Square....and the City in general...
Why are prime corner retail location in Union Square opening up for new shops to move in??? Answer - businesses are running away faster than the landlords can discount the rent and find new tenants!!
Neat trick. I have an extension that shows down votes. It was 0. Considering the comments, that's hard to believe. So, I add my down vote. Still 0. I exit out of the browser and get back in. Still 0. But, if I change my downvote to an upvote, it takes. And I can't change my mind. So, it was 74 and now 75. "C'MON MAN!!!!"
Ha, Ha. Go over to Powell and Market to see what is really going on. The area directly around Union Square is like a Hollywood set. That is not the city. Not even close.
hahha "the cultural hub of sf" she says and then lists off names of stores, how sad that that is the cultural hub as opposed to her mentioning theaters or tours or restaurants or history....
San Francisco is an amazing city! The negativity in the comments can be applied to any big American city in this country. Can’t wait to go visit SF again!

While the Barbarians are storming the city!
SF looks like ghost town 😅
Have any of you been there in 2024? It’s not so bad. It a step down from before, it’s still better then most sunbelt cities like Houston, for example
It looks like a beautiful afternoon. Where is everyone? 🤔
"What am I missing?" People and shops. Are you guys living in another universe?
There are no homeless people in America. Its just to scare us.
Exactly!! On a day like that the square would be packed with people and small cart vendors!

Come for the views stay cause your car was broken into and all your important stuff got stolen
You don’t leave important stuff in your car .. theirs no sympathy for that

Let it be a template for the whole city, then be proud and I’ll come visit. Otherwise all you have is a small fort, inside a war zone.
It's a false facade. They have cleaned up a few areas, but other areas are absolute trash. Also, get cleaned up for the APEC meetings.

Beautiful San Francisco as always.
A ghost 👻 town now. There’s No way out but buyout by China town!
repeat after me.. "rome is not burning, rome is not burning" if you say that enough times it magically happens, weeeeeee....
There is no one there! Was in SFO often 2000-2015. It was always packed! What a joke this person is about business as usual.
Is this stage? Last time I was there there are homeless around union square.
How much did Breed PAY YOU?
People of San Francisco are desperate. Now they are putting out videos trying to fool people.
Lol

Liar. San Francisco is glad to get rid of a lying idiot.
Nice stores, I could never afford to actually buy anything from them.
San Francisco is only for rhe multi rich.

Those days gone. Leadership planned it.

Why visit San francisco

What about the dinamicks of the homeless the drugies the tents the smell of urine? This is sooo fake and sad!
To be fair the urine odour is not prevelant in all the streets,in some it's masked by the overpowering stench of faeces.
