San Francisco BANNED CARS

the city banned private vehicles on Market Street as part of an ambitious effort to improve public safety and transform San Francisco's most important traffic artery into a ghost town , forcing businesses to leave and comercial property value to plummet, One by one as a domino effect, stores, banks, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops were forced to leave due to the lack of accessibility
Streets are made for cars to have access to the businesses , therefore, removing the cars removes the accessibility to the businesses, safety is a concern on any street, but targeting market Street is targeting the HEART of the city
A lot of the comments on my previous market Street video said that I picked the worst part from the UN Plaza at City Hall to Powell Street and that the part that was still thriving was from Powell to the Embarcadero where I start my walk for this video in the final chapter to the market Street saga , brace yourself for this video.

This is so sad, When I lived in San Francisco in the late 1980s one of my favorite shops was a Rand McNally Map Store. It was on the south side of Market Street between Montgomery Street and the Embarcadero. It was the coolest store. I still have a pillow I bought with the map of the United States printed on it that was the same map my teachers used when I was in school. It's also shaped like the United States. I still have a globe I bought there too. The oceans are a light beige instead of blue, and because it was made in the 1980s it still has the old USSR. Hanging out in that store is one of the happier memories I have of the time I lived there.

[@JackWMatrix]

My first job in SF was in that building in 1986. I loved that map store. It was made into Chase Manhattan Bank Branch. On Wednesday they were replacing the glass door. Someone had shattered it. Don't know if it was a gunshot or not. They closed down Stacey's bookstore next door to it and opened up one of those Amazon stores where there were no cash registers. They closed that a long time ago. The space is for lease still.

Nearly two dozen stores have said they plan to pull up stakes and leave San Francisco as the crime issue remains unresolved. Some of these retailers include Old Navy, Banana Republic, Crate & Barrel, AmazonGo, Saks Off Fifth, Anthropologie and Office Depot. Walgreens has been chaining up some of its most stolen goods from heavily shoplifted stores to prevent theft from further cutting into its bottom line.

Don't forget the effect of online retail and its inherent advantage of having a fraction of the overhead required to run a brick and mortar store. Once those like amazon rose and made a lot of us addicted to their convenience and (at the time) lower prices in exchange for waiting a day or two for our stuff to arrive at our front door, what advantage could these places have to keep the bulk of us going to them? The microcosms that were shopping malls, is now playing out en masse, bad policy notwithstanding.

​@@springfauna1465 The elites plan for another reset of the world and implement their Agenda 2030 which states: "These are universal goals and targets which involve the entire world, developed and developing countries alike, etc." You may want to look into it further. Klaus Schwab, founder of World Economic Forum said "You will own nothing and be happy." The reset will include 15 minutes cities. These cities should be able to fulfill “key aspects of life” within a 15 minute walk or cycle from their home." These barren cities like SF, Colorado, etc. is the beginning of their plans. They want citizens to be contained in a radius of 15 minutes i.e. population control/depopulation, etc. It's not going to be a pretty sight. It's a reset, New World Order coming. And I am looking up for the return of Jesus Christ. He's the only one who can clean up this world mess and establish His just and true Kingdom.

Americans can see vacant store fronts every where they look.
