Love from PAKISTAN

[@khalilrehman6466]

We love you Peter

[@argonauth]

I'm loving this serie from San Francisco, (while I love your other series) I think you should make more cities. Loved the analysis of the public/private space.

[@Prudentvedic]

Ahhaha peter You are Good Good man

[@tdeladeriere]

That last scene in the second popo, the hotel employee was so welcoming ! I'm a proud European, but watching these American vlogs, I feel your sense of hospitality is unrivalled.

[@holyfox94]

Yes. Service in Japan& America is on another level.

[@guydreamr]

Having a beautiful woman on your arm doesn't hurt either ;)

[@khalidalali186]

I don’t think anything comes close to the Netherlands.

What a nice dude in the end🙏💪🙏💪🙏

[@tdeladeriere]

Yes !

[@chantalrochon3566]

Real life, that’s what I like about your channel 😊Thanks 😊

[@mikesallaberry3718]

I'm born and raised in SF and am raising a family here, and you did a nice job capturing some of the flavor of this unique city!

[@dieterfischer3432]

When I went to LA I accidently ended up in Skid Row while walking around aimlessly. That place is so sad.

[@PeterSantenello]

Damn! That had to be a shock.

[@TheFlamingoMen]

Even Skid Row has it's contrasts like the SA Studios back in the day which fitted in perfectly and gave the neighborhood a fresh surprising tint

[@2001kraft]

As soon as I saw that Pine Street sign I already knew what was about to happen hahaha Thanks for showing just how insanely diverse and different this city is-from the wealth to the grit. Amazing content as always

[@chantalrochon3566]

Open to the public! Thank you for this info😊

[@kubrackian]

Dude your travel videos are the best. Good combo of info and entertainment. Very hard to find accurate depictions of culture and "feel" of a place. Too often the depiction is biased and actually negatively impacts your impression of a place. For example SF is often depicted as overrun by homelessness and techies while your series shows that it is more diverse than that. I think your videos capture more of its essence and is way closer to reality than anything else I've seen or read before. Really well done.

[@PeterSantenello]

Thanks so much for this Adam! I always strive for this so it's good to hear it came through for you.

[@khalilrehman6466]

Love you see again my sweetest couple and my sweetest brother Peter, lots of love and respect from Karachi Pakistan

[@magdalenamuller7385]

I really really love your Videos, especially because you have such an open and empathetic look at the world - you treat everyone with respect and you meet people with curiosity! You don´t judge and listen to the people - in the series with your wife its a bit different, thats how i perceive it. The way you spoke about fat people (in another video) and the way you were referring to the homeless people I was really surprised, almost seemed like it was their fault when we all know its way more complicated. Mental health issues, sky rocketing rents, rising living costs, drug addiction just to name a few. I really hope you don´t look down on them or blame them. Society as a community failed these people with our crazy over capitalistic structures the only promote sick hustle culture to be a better consumer. I wanted to leave that here just a perspective. Thank you for sharing your videos and all the best to you!

[@rohitchauhan123]

Hi Peter, It feels so real to roam the streets of San Francisco. When I see Natalia's reactions and speed up the video, I can feel the emotions changing giving a real feeling. And you winked when you entered the homeless neighborhood. Ha ha. It is interesting to see how each neighborhood kind of curves into its own world. It is a kind of subtle cultural curvature that one one observe. Not physical, but a field of thoughts, emotions curving in, forming its own field. And one can see how it affects an individual's emotions, thought patterns, especially an alien or a foreigner going through these cultural curvature a in a short time. One hell of an experience. Makes me nostalgic. Left US in 2014 after 6 years and back to India. Thanks Bro! For the experience 👏👍!

[@PeterSantenello]

Great observations Rohit. Yes Natalia's face shows the story. You're right, many different worlds near each other and the frequencies much different from one another.

[@talithaminnaar77777]

Nice tour. I lived there for 30 years. You covered some of my favorite spots and showed some i didn't even know about. Great videos.

[@noviracun8759]

What is name of place? Is Castro districkt .. can write me correctly .. Sorry on my english

[@samcrow7508]

Hey Peter, I love your videos. My daughter lived in SF for a number of years and I loved visiting that city. The last time I was there spent the entire day walking around and to see parts of the city change in only one year was overwhelming....homeless, open drug use, empty buildings. Thanks for the information on the POPO's. I didn't know they existed. When I go back next year, I'll try and find a few to see the beauty for myself.

[@tripgreat]

Peter, I was in SF in June. I wish I'd had your incredible tour first. Thanks to you and Natalia!

[@kimberlygray1347]

I lived in SF for 30 years and never knew about POPOs. Thank you! I can't wait to start finding them.

Just stumbled on your video. I lived in SF all my life and I want to say you did a great job.

[@MrJonsonville5]

I was wondering if you guys were going to hit up the Tenderloin : )

[@EzeICE]

@Benjamin Mellin Yup so true, you see them at City Hall and all up and down Market Street as well. It's a definite sad state of affairs to witness bro.

[@dougnash3771]

Super Great video & info. Have walked this city many times and learned many new things from you guy's. Thanks again

[@frnkndad]

After she started talking about the diversity in the Bay area... I started wondering how she would react (and contrast) NYC. NYC is incredibly diverse, but is more of a 'melting pot'

[@yorkmob9993]

My Mother and her family are from NYC and still have family there in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn. I live on S.F and visit family in N.Y every year. I grew up on E.77 and York AV until I was 5. S.F has different latino culture influence Mexican and Central American. N.Y has more Puerto Rican and Dominican culture very carribean vibe. S.F has oldest china town in america. Many Filipinos and Pacific Islanders and other asian communities. N.Y has big Italian and middle eastern influence. Both cities are great the people, culture and the food. Im lucky to have experienced both cities unique culture.

[@randomchampion]

@@yorkmob9993 NYC has far more asians than SF

[@milascave2]

@@yorkmob9993 Yes, that is one big difference. New York is on the Atlantic coast, where Europeans always land first, before heading west. So it has a Strong European (and Caribean) influence. San Francisco, of course, is on the Pacific Ocean, so it is where Asians land first, before heading East (if they ever do.) Also, while New York is near Canada, San Francisco is not far from the Mexican border, which is why we have so many Mexican and Central American people here. The other difference of course is that New York is so much bigger. Like LA, every ethnic group can have their own hood, just like In San Francisco. But in those cities, the hoods spread out and are larger and take longer to get to. San Francisco is unusual in having so much diversity in a small city, which is why you can so easily walk from one hood to another. It's not as diverse as it used to be, due to gentrification, but it's still pretty diverse.

[@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO]

@@randomchampion - Per capita, the Bay Area has far more Asians.

[@randomchampion]

@@Sovereign_Citizen_LEO That's only because NYC is far more diverse than the Bay Area. NYC and its metropolitan area are bigger centers of Asian cultures. It's not even close. The Asian neighborhoods you see in New York City (and even northern New Jersey) dwarf whatever you see in SF. And that's still with NYC being the juggernauts of other, non-asian cultures. NYC asian culture expands beyond East and SE asian cultures too, unlike Bay Area.

[@MerwinARTist]

This was just so cool .. Natalia and you go good together .. and it's a neat vibe I see happening here. Love the tour .. great memories!!

[@dancrowley7240]

I'm loving your vlogs you are so calming and a pleasure to watch ;)

[@tomw8]

Good places, great beats bro! Thanks Peter.

[@seandoherty925]

Lovely to see SF and NYC videos from your tour with your beautiful wife. I spent some time in both and its great to renew the acquaintance via video whilst in lockdown. The homelessness problem in SF is sad, but I believe the city's success as the technology hub of the world and resultant soaring rents is a big factor.

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

Definitely a more diverse San Francisco here than what I’ve seen in the past. The homelessness in California is absolutely heartbreaking. Really hope the government and other charitable organizations can further support the people in need. God bless America 🙌💯🇺🇸

[@ND-hg6ui]

Nobody cares for them, they've given up.

[@PeterSantenello]

Yes, I agree. There needs to be training and jobs for those who can work.

[@awesomealie8179]

Its a Democrat owned place. Even if Trump gives them money, it wont go to the organizations that are in need. In a Democrat state/cities, corruption is the problem, and keeping propaganda where the money is spent. Pelosi is a Democrat and been in US Senate for over 30 years, but she blames everything on Trump who only in office for 4. Then they have ads telling locals to help their community, but how far can a locals go? On top of being a taxpayers, these Democrats are telling them to help the homeless, hence again its going to come from the taxpayers, never from state leaders.

[@cbeary2000]

@@awesomealie8179 You are very tribal and have tunnel-vision. I've been to many republican conservative towns and states in the USA, and the citizens sound and act like they haven't gotten passed middle school. If you honestly think America's universal answer to all problems is adopt a republican outlook then you should travel more and speak less.

[@awesomealie8179]

@@cbeary2000 Its conservative outlook. You can say whatever you want state. NY are moving to a more conservative places. Who cares about your opinion. Goodluck with your kids adopting liberal minds. I have travelled many countries and I myslef is naturalized. The problem with this country are ungrateful natural born Americans, because you dont have a place to compare it with and thats sad. I know friends that has many degrees but they all end up in debt L:MAO without jobs and guess what they are all single with bad attitudes just depending on people to survive.

Wow the legitimate look of confusion on your lady's face was very telling - Its not like this in other countries but common place in some American cities. Disturbing yet very well portrayed Peter - As always great video and stories told. Started at 14:44

She looked genuinely confused. So are many of us who live in the US.

[@BeSimple728]

Amazing video peter 😁👍

[@bfun4615]

Peter, I was tickled pink when you shown the USPS mailbag at 11:19. I'm sure it was out of the 1950's. I work for them and there is equipment that predates me like chairs, safes, signs, that I work with that is older than my 42 years being alive. But I enjoy what I do as a clerk at USPS and it's given me a upper middle class living where I'm from in Nebraska. It allows me to travel the world like yourself.

[@SirenaWF1]

I knew a carrier who used one and he had to fight in order to keep using it as the USPS wanted all their carriers to begin carrying bags on their shoulders. He said, it's like like in the 50s where you had a small amount of mail to deliver, now it's 40lbs of mail which hurts the shoulders if carried for hours. The great thing about today is the decrease in physical mail because of electronic communications, but then that's offset by the amount of junk being sent.

[@ricardparisealdabo838]

wow, extremely honest video, trying to show all the diversity and all the social gaps. I really enjoy this video. I think it must be hard to present your own town, your own country, it´s always easier to apreciate "another country" (it´s always easier to take pictures far from home than pictures from your home). Great jobe, Peter.

[@PeterSantenello]

Thanks Ricard!

[@SirenaWF1]

@ilyas abdolcader I mean you have to balance an honest I guess tour with safety. Some areas 30 years ago were not safe to be in, and thankfully that has changed a lot. Hunter's point isn't a great place by any means, but it's much better than it was.

[@WizeIce1]

I think there are more homeless in San Francisco than in New York. That is so heart breaking scenario, coming from a first world country.

[@inspiringquotes3379]

Yet, according to Peter Santenello... India is a poor country
