- As I was leaving the Fishermans wharf area, I realized that north beach next door. It’s also not looking good stores are closing at rapid numbers, in this video. I’m walking part of Fishermans wharf that I missed on my first video and on the second part on walking north beach , I have to warn you North Beach looks desolated

I am so happy for all SF residents. They are finally achieving the utopian society they have been voting for. Brings a tear to my eye.
This isn't anything they did themselves. This was done *to them*.
Yes. They'll vote the same again to make it even worse for the non-elites.
@@TheUtuber999 🤡😂
Yes they did, they never protested or will vote for a law and order mayor. They put up with it and took no action.

No, because the inhabitants of the city decided a long time ago to destroy it. The most important thing are yoga classes for city employees

@@SH-ly1uywrong. Local votes more often leaned conservative when I lived there. It’s tyranny.

"People don't" The DNC rulers do.
Who besides the movers and shakers running the Democratic Party? Do you personally know ANYONE who wants that scoundrel to run for President?
He will be installed as President for 8 years.
I was in Warsaw recently. Boom town, skyscrapers going up eveywhere, clean, safe. Expensive! As a child in the 80s I never thought eastern Europe would end up more vibrant and functional than the USA.
Poland has absolutely resisted the importation of third world freeloaders and criminals. While that might not explain all of SF’s problems, it was the easiest one to have solved by never allowing it to happen.
Democrats at work here…..1st SF, next - the rest of America 🤬🤬. Kamala will be worse than Newsom 🤮🤮🤮
They traded policies.
I live in santa barbara county and used to visit SF with my family once a year at least. Each time I would stay in a 4-5 star hotel for 3-4 days and spend about 5 thousand dollars on a wonderful time. I last went 5 years ago. The last straw was my children seeing mentally ill people defecating in middle of sidewalk right outside our hotel (grand Hyatt) and my 5 year old later stepping on human feces. The audacity for this god forsaken dump of a city to charge $60 street parking. Never again will I visit this once great city. Now multiply this by all the money that this city wont see from the millions of families around the world and you have a serious blow to the economy.

SF was cool until Prop 8 and how it was overturned by a power hungry gay judge. people of CA didn't want same sex marriages but gay judge said, "eff all y'alls". since then, no elections were fair, they were all rigged. bad policies from the commie leftists like pelosi and her newphew gavin newsom. i felt free and able to be an individual when i was growing up and then no more. i escaped SF to TX in 2018 right before things got bad and got bad fast. loving texas, it is what rest of america should strive to be like. at least you not in the San Fran-shithole. i heard vallejo is pretty blue too. i tell my friends, "get out while the getting is good". even elon musk moved to austin texas. i bought my 5 beds, 4 baths pool house in 2018 for $505K. now my neighbor across the street just listed his house for $940K. holy smokes!
Vote for a crappy mayor and governor and there are consequences. I'd like to blame the representatives but in the end, the voters are to blame for this. Those areas were pretty awesome back in the day and it's very sad to see them destroyed.

I used to go down to Fisherman's wharf in SF back in the 60's. I'd dine at Alioto's on the upper floor overlooking the bay and Alcatraz, then go around the corner to the Mediterranean Market for some fine items. A ride over the hill to Market St, passing by Chinatown was a ritual, helping the conductor to turn the cable car around. So sad to see it in such a mess.
yup my grandfather was partners with Alioto he would come to our house on occasion for Sunday pasta .... Ol Joe

Same. Used to visit all the time 70's-90's. I stopped even going up for concerts since I don't want to give the city any money.
Ditto
This content creator is deceptive. He takes a close shot of one closed store and claims the entire neighborhood is closed. If you go to he wharf, it is incredibly crowded. I was there yesterday. This dude is a total FRAUD.
That's the last time I was there, in the 80s. I live 40 minutes away. Never again.
@@1970rsc My BIL was there a few months ago. He said you had to watch out for the excrement in the streets. He didn't have any glowing reports or recommendations for visiting SF. So the empty storefronts in the mall is deceptive?
Nothing that can't be fixed by raising minimum wage, mandating EV cars and defunding the police.

the natural evolution of what started as the peace and love hippy movement in the 1960’s , if your going to san francisco be sure to ear some flowers in your hair , well those flowers have wilted and their seeds have born a bitter fruit
I’m a 3rd generation SFer, born in 1963. What I see makes me sick! My parents and grandparents would sob. I have no words! I moved away years ago…it’s hard to handle.
The sad part about it is that this San Francisco will never be the same, those businesses will never come back.
If the crooked politicians get replaced, life will return. But people will need to stop voting for Democrats.
This video is absolutely mind-blowing. It's like a strange apocalyptic Hollywood movie because back in 80's and 90's those places were super successful tourist traps.
It's funny how people are making videos saying how great Fishermans wharf is but they avoid filming all the stores you are filming. U are exposing the truth and it is kinda scary. Great work
Yup, I even called one video out for being filmed straight on the sidewalks to avoid showing all of the closures.
Yeah those same people are leftist voters. They keep saying that the city is great and doing well.
But the city is a shell of its former self.
Great observation. I have seen those phony vids as well. Delusional Dems.
I live here. It's one end of the wharf. The rent went sky high, and soon it will swanky again. 😅
No Safety Way is opening in SF! Open 24/7!Outdoor bathrooms!
What a tragedy!! I grew up in the 60's and 70's, I am now 66 years old. I remember how beautiful SF was and so much to see and enjoy. It is truly sad to see such an iconic City with so much history....DIE! WHY?! We can thank certain groups and political parties and people for this tragedy!
Yup I agree. I grew up in San Francisco in the mid 50's and the city was the envy of the world, one of the most beautiful cities in the world with some of the best restaurants. I remember the grand Fox theatre on Market street, and all the fantastic restaurants on fisherman's wharf. My grandparents use to take me and my brother to fisherman's wharf every Friday night. Had my 1st dungeness crab Louie salad at Pompei's Grotto in the 60's which started my love for great food. Ocean beach was still a hot spot with the Cliff House and Playland at the beach and of course the SF zoo. So many great places gone now. I left SF in late 2001 and went back for a visit with my grown kids in 2015 and didn't recognize the city that I grew up in. Very sad what has happened to the city, but it was a different era and different generation back then!!! 👍
Lmao if you grew up there in the 60s-70s you probably seen crazier shit than us youngins. You guys just let people get away with way more shit back in the days.
It was gross back then too. Hunter’s Point was a no go zone. SF has always had a seedy side.
@@deadtome44 Hunters point has always been a rough neighborhood
@@Pullinoutteeth Nope you are wrong. In the 50's & 60's it was a very different generation than today. People respected each other, and especially the police & law enforcement. You rarely heard about people shooting cops or ransacking stores like today. True there was still crazy stuff happening back then, but no where's near the brazen craziness of today's youth. Today's youth feel too entitled and want everything without working hard to achieve them. Today's generation could learn much from the generation of the past!!!! 👍
When I was 17 I had a vision of this horror happening to our home. We moved a year later and I wish I had been wrong. We used to get dressed up ( yes we did) take the Cable Car to the wharf to eat fresh crab and sourdough bread. I won’t be watching till the end. I left my ❤ in San Francisco.😢
I appreciate what you do Leo. I lived in SF 71-89. That city doesn’t exist anymore.
I was there 2002-2015. The City died long before this.
Same for the San Diego I knew as a kid - nearly 60 years ago.
I remember my first time visiting SF in 1987. The naval vessel I was stationed aboard docked near the Embacardero at Fisherman’s Wharf. Every type of restaurant, bar, and shop you could think of was there.
Sure, there were the weirdos and such who walked the streets (hence the reason we wore civilian clothes on liberty😆), but it was still fun and exciting.
What a difference 37 years makes.😢😮
1982 - 2009. Downtown, Park Merced, then various outer Richmond places until I left. So, so many unique places and fun things to do. Countless great memories. After watching this, I checked to see if Caffe' Sport was still around (yes). Way different menu today, but it survives. One of my favorite restaurants. Really sad to see such deterioration when it used to be such a cool city.
This is like those abandoned mall videos. The politicians are still in denial about what's causing this.

@@atban1824 Someone is bitter about their life choices. 🙄
Your fault.
I used to visit Fishermans wharf as a kid. Back then the worst thing that would happen is the bushman would scare you and you'd give him some money. I remember the first time I visited on my own as an adult. Went there to do some photography. I walked up out of the Market street bart station and after about half a block of walking I came across a confrontation where a homeless man was threatening to hit an elderly black security guard with his skate board. Thankfully they both backed off cause a crowd had gathered. Then after that, homeless people all around yelling and cussing at people and being generally aggressive shitheads. No police, around to do anything about it. That was almost 10 years ago. Not at all surprising that no one wants to be there anymore.
The bushman! I'd forgotten about him.
Great video as always it’s crazy how the news doesn’t even talk about this glad to have you make videos people need to open there eyes 👀 more and more face reality and be happy if your working still

My very first visit to US was way back in 1980. Flew all the way from Singapore to SF. Spent a lot of time around North Beach and FW. I thought SF was the most beautiful city in the world. Didn't have the opportunity to return a second time. What a shame this is happening.

That side show on the bay bridge was horrific. Lawlessness is wreaking havoc everywhere.
I’m happy that I have seen it back in the good old days.
I can’t tell you how different Fisherman’s Wharf & SF was when I first visited back in 1998-2000. F wharf was soooo awesome. Full of life. It’s like the heart has been ripped out of SF. North beach was my fav place to hang out and have coffee or late night eats or just to hang out. So unfortunate.
Thanks Leo, keep up your mission, you are appreciated for showing the truth.
Hey that bring a great idea, Leo. You should digitalize all your videos, so you can make a before and after book, video, movie, or even an educational textbook on how cities are destroyed! Also, since you're still young...you might be able to show what these cities look like when after all that real estate changes hands (for pennies on the dollar), and the powers-that-be kick all those city-destroying politicians out of office. Politicians (always) do what big money tells them to.
Perhaps the “big money” 💰 will lose money if the areas don’t recover !?
@@lecaprice2572 __The "big money" has been orchestrating the destruction of urban areas, until the prices of commercial buildings and lots get to the lowest sale price. After they scoop up all the "deals", they'll "arrange" the renaissance of said such cities. They're not stupid.
They know what they are doing.
One of my last jobs was delivering to various Dispensaries in the SF area. The owner wanted me to carry an expensive looking bag that had everything you needed for College. Told him that I'd get robbed for it in SF, he said it'd be fine the business needed to look better. I never once used it in my deliveries, a clipboard sufficed. I was NOT willing to get killed over a few hundred of weed.
This is hard to watch. I recall visiting San Francisco 6 years ago. Fishermans Wharf was so much fun.
Not anymore 😢
Same, was there in August of 2018 and had a great time. Was back there in July 2023 and significantly different. Won’t ever visit again unless it changes for the better which I doubt will happen
Same I was there is 2018 and was lovely , a few homeless around but not bad but the last 2-3 years it’s totally died
The last time I visited SF was in 2015. My hotel was very near Fishermans wharf. It was great. Crowded with people all having fun. Glad I took photos to remeber how it was.
Sad 😔
I lived in SF in the early 70s. It’s absolutely despicable what they have let happen to that city. You get what you vote for. The people who crave the power will destroy everything and rule over the ruins.

In the early '70's, when I first came to San Francisco, this area was booming!! We would park the car at the North Point garage, buy something to get the ticket validated; and then we had free parking for 90 minutes to shop Cost Plus and all the various stores, shops, and restaurants in the area. It was the Golden Era of San Francisco! We just didn't know it at the time. Eventually, the billionaires will buy all this real estate up for pennies on the dollar.
Thats the plan. And the politicians will get their cut for doing their part in the redistribution/sabotage.
@@mikeifyouplease I believe that has been the point in letting it go to hell.
And do what with it exactly. The current economy and political situation in SF, nothing is going to make it there.
@@cabracove That's the whole idea. "Nothing is going to make it there." So... commercial buildings are selling for up to 90 percent off!!
Not only that, but in California, the property tax is based on the latest selling price! Therefore, the super-rich will buy up all these huge, gorgeous
buildings in downtown San Francisco, at a fraction of their "real" price AND every year, they pay a fraction of the amount of property taxes that
the previous owners paid!! The new owners will NOT need to bring in as much money as the previous businesses did, to make the buildings
economically feasible, from a financial standpoint. And once, they kick out the Democrats and put in Republicans into City Hall...San Francisco
will be booming once again!!!
@@mikeifyouplease LOL, property taxes are based on the appraisal value of the property, the county decides that. They don't just change by the sale price. The City and County won't let them be devalued, there goes their income.

Once California started the total tolerance of mob mentality during the Berkley riots in the 60's and 70's (what most California's believe to be the best era(also known as the hippie generation) the downfall was set in motion. President Reagan said it best, "It all first began when some of you who know better and are old enough to know better, let young people think they had the right to chose what laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest".. SF Could make the comeback of world history, but California's fate has already been sealed.
@@apwkastmaster2096 and he wants to become president too, imaging the damage an idiot like that will cause both at home and abroad . the whole of western civilization is crumbling, and what will survive are the totalitarian states of the east and Middle East
@@apwkastmaster2096 the truth is Gavin Newsom isn’t just stupid, but he is evil. He is the personification of evil when you have the power to prevent harm coming to others and refuse to do anything about it and facilitate that harm that you by definition are an evil human being and that is what Gavin Newsom is.
Way to go, Newsom!
All by design. More to follow.
guess who’s gonna buy up all that real estate at some point for supercheap…
This is eerie. It reminds me of how "they" cleared half the island of Maui/Lahaina - just without a huge ungodly fire. And it's happening in so many former very prosperous cities that employed so many people.
And now the major insurance companies have Gruesome over a barrel - either he agrees to double everyone's insurance rates or they all leave the state. No insurance on property or for liability? Oh, boy.
tourism business is dead . thanks to your president
This is mind blowing as a native I haven't been down there in forever. I stay on the south side of town and all the new people were so annoying I wouldn't go anywhere, but the complete death of the wharf and North Beach is devastating to see so many of the the old iconic restaurants and buidings burnt or demolished removing the history of the city is breaking my heart to see. Thank you for the report and update. :(
@@dohabandit They'll figure more creative ways to tax us
Let’s keep voting 🗳️ democrat ✊🏿✊🏿😹👏👏👏👏👏
I know! It's so so sad! Does Scoma's still exist? The seafood restaurant at Fisherman's wharf?
Can you tell us how they were annoying
@@dohabandit Some Chinese communist party-affiliated entity will come in and buy up all the real estate for pennies on the dollar, then start importing people.
Used to love SF, Thanks Gavin Gruesome for ruining the City!!!
He didn't do it all by himself. He had help. A lot of help.
@@Qrayon for sure!
now he wants to run the USA?
Pelosi sure made a killing doing it.
I went to SFAI in the 80s. Gooonnnne!!
I went to a giant mall in Sacramento a couple months ago... it looked the same. It reminded me of some deserted dystopian movie set
How beautiful the SF Art Institute is. A gorgeous building from a much better time.
I saw Empire Strikes Back in that theater. Gone now!
You're documenting something incredible out there, Leo.
your commentary is excellent, thank you for what you do

WOW even Safeway is closed that’s sad that whole north point center used to be jumping and full of shops with locals and tourists
I grew up in SF during the 1960s and 1970s when it was a paradise. Moved in 2006 to Oregon. Visited the SF Zoo last year and got my van broke into and looted. Sadly, SF is now a sh!hole occupied by two extremes: the obscenely wealthy, and the obscenely poor. Tragic.
It’s progressive policies that led to the decline of San Francisco, leftist policies will get you results like this. Judging by your profile picture you probably still vote for the same policies wherever you move. 😂🤣
This is deliberate. For reasons yet to be seen.
Agenda 2030.
The plot of the movie Robocop was this:
Corporations pay criminals to make business so bad that everybody abandons the area and then the corporations buy it for super cheap

Looks like I need to move to SFO and become a plywood salesman...business is booming.🤣
You can call your store, “Boards, Boards, Boards!”
Tent salesman
Spray paint sales seem to be brisk
Why would you want to live at the airport?
Don't move to the airport though
This really is heartbreaking 😢💔 I used to live in Sacramento California and we would go to San Francisco at least twice a month 😢 I remember walking around fisherman's wharf going to eat and shop and enjoying the people and the day😢💔😢
you shouldn't feel bad because this is democracy in action. SF voters wanted this because they vote for it. be happy SF got what it wanted and continues to vote for it
Table for zero!
Your table is ready
@@busterhikney6936 I saw on TH-cam restaurants put teddy bears at the tables.
I was born in San Jose in 57, we used to visit the wharf on special occasions and treat ourselves to Crab Louie’s in the mid-60’s. Special memories of a special place that can’t be replaced, Emotional to see it destroyed..
Love crab Louie salads
Same. I guess I didn’t realize how far things have fallen. Very sad. (I guess Ideas have Consequences).
Huh, we were there about 8 months ago and there was a lot happening. It's hard to believe the difference.
LEO,
If this wasn’t so sad, it would be infuriating!
I used to work at a place called Houlihan’s Old Place across from Giradelli Square back in the late ‘80s.
I lived in Pacific Heights and also out by Golden Gate Park.
I’ve walked almost every square block of the city, and it’s sickening what the “Leadership” has purposely done to a once great city.
From Louis and Cliffhouse, to Northbeach and Nob Hill.
It’s unrecognizable from what it used to be!
From Noe Valley and Haight Ashbury to Fisherman’s Wharf and Union Square, the whole city is a ghost town.
I have a family member who lives at Van Ness and California and it’s unrecognizable.
So happy that I left the city and didn’t have to live through its demise.
Blessings from Oklahoma
It should be infuriating but brainwashed liberals ignore the implications of a dead economy & lack of resources as we head into WWIII that they think Trump started. 😵💫
They've destroyed it. Some parts are still intact but a lot are gone like in this video. It's sickening.
I used to go down and go fishing on The Lovely Martha all the time… last few years have gotten really bad, now it’s not worth it to drive 3hrs to pay too much for a fishing trip and get your vehicle broken into while you’re out. And as soon as you get off the bay bridge, the smell of urine hits you like a wall, all the thru the city to the wharf and even that parking garage is just one big toilet. No more, haven’t been in 2 years now, never again. Born and raised in Belmont, moved to the hills now.
Wow, that's so shocking. Fisherman's Wharf used to be so beautiful. It feels like the zombie apocalypse happened. In a way I guess it did with the Fentanyl crisis. Unbelievable. 😢
Hard to believe. Way to go Newsom!
16:00 I used to shop at that Safeway. When I came to visit for my birthday, or the Disney Wonder would dock, I would always swing by there for some snacks. I loved fisherman's Wharf. It's so heartbreaking to see it in such a state.
The last time i was there Fishermans Wharf was a vibrant thriving place of business, there were museums, shops of all kinds there was a place you could but tickets for the ferry over to Alcatraz. The fact is san fransicko was the place to go for many things. Now it is an urban wasteland, hope that gruesome newsence is proud of what he has done to the city.
My last visit to San Francisco was in April 2012. The city was full of tourists and locals all over the place. I was there for a week to see my favorite band playing at The Independent. I had a great time, eat some good food, went to a couple of bars, did some tourist stuff, and hike the Lands End Trail. Sad to see my favorite city becoming a ghost town.
The Independent is a great venue. Who did you see there? That whole stretch of Divisidero was fairly recently gentrified with pricey restaurants etc. It's been awhile since I've seen a show there and wondering if that stretch of Divisidero is now subject to the same blight.
@@ripple947
MIDNITE, my favorite reggae band.
Sad to see. Loved in San Rafael, Fairfax, and The Haight at various times in the early 90's. It was such a charming city back then. Even in 2006 when I visited and the couple times I was there for work in 2017 there's was still something left. But from 2018 onwards it's just been downhill and everything I loved from Fisherman's Wharf is gone now! I don't think I'll ever be back.
Good video. Thank you for showing the truth and remnants of what used to be a beautiful city. Very sad 😢.
😢 I feel so sad for the business owners
They probably voted for this.
I dont. Most of them voted for this disgusting filthy party.
They have probably moved to a different city and state. At least it seems like Texas is booming.
@@adamschrader328 I doubt it.
This is somebody's master plan to drop the prices of high-rise buildings and then buy them up cheap. They will make billion$!
In May an SF office space sold for 90% discount from it's 2016 asking price
You nailed it Howell!
But will they make billions if the positive aspects of the city culture can’t recover ?
@@lecaprice2572 the citizens of San Francisco seem to be living under a dark cloud and keep voting for the same Democrats so will anything ever change? You made good points
Unbelievable. Love your videos my friend. Crazy where the left has taken this once beautiful city.
Clean, new looking buildings and they are empty. Things are looking bad.
Like China's ghost cities.
Man, you are a real on the street reporter. Your telling the truth!!!
Good job!!
Your dog is telling the truth…no, your cat.
Very sad indeed. Im 72 now. So glad I got to enjoy the real fisherman’s wharf and SF back in the 70’s. LA. and NY too. None are the same now. Also travelled with friends through Europe and Britain. Was away 2 years in my 20’s. Had a blast and everywhere was wonderful. Very different now. I grew up in Australia during its best years. All I can say is I’m grateful that I got to live the best of it. The world and society is going down the gurgler now. I just pray my children and theirs find a way to enjoy their life.
Showing it like it is Many Thanks. It's just a matter of time in Canada I can walk around get to Say "Gone Now"
man I can remember going to S.F. and the sidewalks and stores would be so packed you could hardly move around and if you wanted to eat at a restaurant you would be waiting a long time for a table.i had a lot of good times in S.F. very sad watching it turn to crap.
This vid makes me question if we’re really not in a recession
I can’t believe Caesar’s if North Beach was demolished. My father in law started work there in 1956. It was his first job in America. I’m so glad he’s no longer around to see what has happened to his city. I do miss burritos at Taqueria Guadalajara, down on Mission and Onondaga. Thanks for the video.
The owners of Caesars actually closed down before all this chaos. We used to go there for many of our family celebrations. Sad.
@@nancyferrari6743 I remember. We were there the last night of the original owner and still came in after the Maitre d had purchased it, before his untimely death. I recall they shit down just a little after that.
