Man who Moved to Austin, Texas from San Francisco- first time back to the city in years reacts

[@tomsmith4955]

San Fran did a HUGE cleanup in November. This was NOT to benefit the citizens of the city but to save face and humiliation when Xi and the worldwide media came into town for the China-US Summit.

[@brotherted9212]

California generally but especially SF was deeply in love with endless lockdowns, school closures & vaccine mandates, well after everyone knew the jab didn’t stop transmission, simply out of virtue signaling. The popular logic there was quite literally, “The longer we lock down, the more ethical we are, regardless that everyone now knows places w/o lockdowns don’t see higher per capita mortality rates. We just want to feel morally superior more than we care if the policies make sense.”

[@leezap]

On the contrary it's your children being indoctrinated in schools in Texas that you should worry about. It's your children who will turn the state blue. I'm in Houston now but I worked for 3 years in CO and all the younger co-workers are Democrats while the rest of the state is red outside of metros.

It's not "Californians". Every college grad goes straight at city jobs. EVERY city in USA is swinging radical Left. They clean up the cities during election years, but ...budgets are being blown, crime is up, GOV is bigger every year. Ethics is more and more optional and relative ...every year.

[@TohaBgood2]

A ton of the places that you say are "closed" were actually just closed for the Holidays, dude. Union Square occupancy is at 85% pre-pandemic. Yes, there are some closed stores, 15% more than pre-pandemic to be exact. But it's faaaaaaaaaaaaaar from the retail apocalypse that people keep trying to pretend is happening. And most of those closed during the pandemic because of the absence of tourists. Tourist visits grew 30% from 2022. We had 23 million visits in 2023, which is 90% of the 26 million visits we had in 2019. SF is coming back. Slower than other downtowns because tech still mostly works from home, but coming back nonetheless. "The neighborhoods" are now busier than they were before the pandemic.

@@TohaBgood2 CVS has shuttered 50% of its SF locations in only 2 years. 11 popular restaurants threw in the the towel in only 1 year, plus all the small ones you did not hear about. Walgreens had 40 locations in SF in 2021. Now down to 27. Westfield San Francisco Center is a ghost town and only has 25% occupancy and breathing it final breaths. Park Hotels & Resorts is abandoning its hotels in San Francisco. This dude claiming nothing is closing in SF is comical.

[@TohaBgood2]

@@SOLDOZER Yeah, bud. 1 - 27/40 = 32.5% You can't even get your own numbers straight. In 2023, "Walgreens expects to close 150 locations in the United States and 300 locations in the United Kingdom" (Walgreens is closing 450 locations By Ramishah Maruf, CNN) Walgreens is not doing particularly well after the pandemic. Meanwhile, Union Square retail occupancy is at 85% of pre-pandemic. And more stores are reopening after the pandemic tourist closures. Many SF neighborhoods are actually doing now than pre-pandemic. Reality does not seem to want to agree with your propaganda. Tough luck.
