every store is CLOSED around Oracle Park San Francisco Giants

The stores, the shops, the bars and the restaurants have closed around Oracle Park due to street conditions ,even with big crowds of baseball fans 42,000 at every game , still not enough to make opening a business, a good idea in this part of the city
With opening date approaching fast on April 5, 2024 San Francisco Giants fans are not going to have a place to pregame not even a place to eat. Sounds like the only option would be getting a sandwich from the Safeway A block away from the stadium
Oracle Park is a baseball stadium in the SoMa district of San Francisco, California. Since 2000, it has served as the ballpark of Major League Baseball's San Francisco Giants. Previously named Pacific Bell Park, SBC Park, and AT&T Park, the stadium's current name was purchased by the Oracle Corporation in 2019

I used to go to Giants games. Not anymore. Tickets are very expensive thanks to "dynamic pricing" so Dodgers vs Giants and games I want to see get jacked up. I drove once and got a parking ticket even though I parked a ways away and other cars on the street were covered in leaves and dust. I took the train once and the bums had tents all over. My out of town visitors were grossed out. I liked the new stadium but right after the game ended the ushers told me to leave when I just wanted to enjoy the place. Screw San Francisco. They are super accommodating to bums, drug addicts, and criminals and treat hard working businesses and patrons and tourists badly.

There was a time when those stores/restaurants were packed with customers. We live an hour from SF and used to visit regularly but not anymore, well done SF ! It's as if SF is trying to compete with Oakland for the worst city in CA.

[@ellenstloukal9743]

THEIR AGENDA seems to be working besutifulky

[@klstay]

This was my absolute favorite city in the world once upon a time. We stayed with my wife's aunt in Sausalito for our honeymoon in '88. I went here every chance I got for business trips. For several years now you could not pay me enough to go back - such a tragedy.

[@psychoof78]

This reminds me of my favorite Christmas song, For Lease Navidad.

[@sujeisgarcia94]

Who are they trying to lease it to? Who do they think is gonna lease those massive stores🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@edblair5253]

Its really amazing how years and years of socialist style policies can quickly materialize into a mass exodus.

[@maritespagunsanlopez5688]

I grew up in San Francisco and always loved the city as a child. I live on the East Coast now but it breaks my heart to see what has happened and is happening to my native city. Through your videos we have seen Market Street, Mission Street, the Richmond district [I sold newspapers outside the Alexandria Theater on 18th and Geary], Union Square, and now the South of Market and the Giants' stadium looking like ghost towns. Other areas that you might consider filming include North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf, Fillmore Street between, say, Hayes and Jackson, and Union Street between Octavia and Divisadero. These areas have had numerous shops, restaurants, and other small businesses for many years. I hate to think of how they are faring now. Thank you for what you are doing to expose that calamity.

[@jackthepirate9233]

I live in San Jose, one hour drive from SF. I used to like to go to SF. But not anymore. And on top of that restaurant charge you an automatic 20% tipping fee.

[@celestialroad]

all right, it's my favorite local video journalist !

[@LeoMetalTraveler]

Thanks

[@bobbysands6923]

Leo, thank God for people like you who are showing and not just telling--video evidence of the devastation of woke politics. Now, you ask the question where would I go before or after the game? My sofa, in my house. Before, during, and after. And not in SF.

[@ozzy1887]

You can add the insane rates of PG&E to the equation now too.

[@curtish.6900]

Along with the extremely high cost of the rent to lease these places.

[@jigwhatup]

And people wonder why the A’s are leaving Oakland which is right across the Bay Bridge. SF and Oakland are not what they use to be, I don’t want to take my family to either ball park.

[@steveross1260]

Thanks for the current update Leo so sad to see a once vibrant area of SF die and decay. It breaks the hearts of real home grown Californiano's

[@phils951]

I've enjoyed New Belgium Brewing's tap room and restaurant in the area; you know what... the spot is "for lease"!

[@Willmine11]

Keep showing the real San Francisco Each yr keeps on getting worse

[@mikedavis2969]

👍

[@mcleanF1]

Those bikes made it look like Mad Max

[@cameronjenkins5304]

That is soul crushing, I haven't been to the Bay area park in years, it used to be a beacon of what made San Francisco great. Not anymore.

[@bodac]

The Safeway on the corner will soon be...... for lease.

[@xmuta]

CA is lost. NY will soon follow.

[@PryorTravis]

That is sad. My wife is from the South Bay, so we always used to go to games whenever we came to visit and enjoyed the area around the park.

[@Damon_Mah]

hopefully it can turn around, will be a while

[@BusDriversLife]

Thanks Mayor Breed!😮

[@usamwhambam]

San Francisco, a true Democrat village.

[@garycallihan4206]

We live about 25 miles to the east of that craphole. Just like Oakland, we are not parking and "participating" anywhere in those enclaves. Even in transit through such dung, be prepared to defend yourselves if necessary. You are on your own. Gavin Newsom approves my message.

[@diamondlion47]

lmao Imagining somebody from nowhere, bumsville Dublin calling SF a craphole 🤣🤣🤣Stay out east little guy, we don't want you here and sounds like your wallet is too small.

[@josezapata1878]

😂❤😂😂✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

[@Scott-jf1nh]

I lived there for two years 80-81. Market Street sucked back then. I worked downtown under the Coffee sign. Pan handlers and urine, every day. Only gotten worse.

[@hermencruz7665]

Ok people iff u want visit nice place Cali go Monterey county or Santa Cruz erea safest an all stores are open 👍

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

Santa Cruz is riddled with homelessness and drugs as well.

[@teckelmn]

I would like o open a store there I would call it "Booze Bricks & Paint". I would sell booze bricks and spray paint. Great video, Thank You.

[@kenmoreSF]

you seem to be enjoying these videos way too much. I love it!

[@RobertJohnson-bj5lk]

I’ve been watching SF Giants baseball games on TV for years now. Last season and this season I’ve noticed that attendance is way down at the stadium, now we know why. Very soon the Oakland Coliseum will lose the Athletics and become: For Leeeeesse.

[@CheeseLayong]

This wasn't something that happened overnight. It began roughly 20 years ago when San Francisco started catering to the tech companies with tax breaks under Mayor Ed Lee. When they left or their workers went remote, the city and the businesses left behind, had to pick up the pieces. SF had all their eggs in one basket. Also, these tech companies were playing the real estate game too. They would buy an entire building or build an entire building and sublease like half of it. Time magazine has a good article online that describes the "Twitter tax break of 2012". This is what started San Francisco down this path. Hopefully Mayor Breed learns from this.

[@judyholland7236]

Thank you for posting this...the truth.

[@ulexite-tv]

I agree. This disaster was caused by Ed Lee's catering to tech companies to the point that without them, the city has imploded.

[@WN_Byers]

Wouldnt be a problem if they never left. Why did they leave

[@hamsterdiving7593]

I agree, good post, but it started long before that. Very long. Like about a hundred years... It's the slow-boiling frog scenario...

[@missreg100]

you forgot to mention that stores closed down and residents in the Bay Area moved out because of high rise in crime, drugs, homeless. who would go to the city if you don't feel safe at all?

[@comicbookninja5268]

As a Californian, I'm embarrassed for us.

[@soultwinmessiah]

"Closed now!" And that sinister laugh gets me every time.... Thanks for the reports

[@LeoMetalTraveler]

Always!

[@kutnahora100]

Leo you should print a shirt that says, "closed, for rent sign..good luck with that."

[@toemblem]

Now do Petco Park in San Diego. Oh wait, everything is open and thriving.
