San Francisco Is a FAILING City And It Cost The Giants Ohtani

[@iTalkStudios]

What do you think about all of this?

[@James_Ford4815]

A dumb take from Posey is what that is ... That's like saying Ohtani doesn't want to play for LA and live in one of Hollywood or Westwood or Santa Monica or Burbank or Beverly Hills or Bel Air or Calabasas all because 1 -2 square miles of downtown LA is a apocalypse hell hole ... SF county just like LA county are both gigantic and the overwhelming majority of places to live and go are really nice Ohtani didn't sign with the Giants because it's a literal toss up if they make the playoffs each year , LA is damn near a lock to make the playoffs every year ... Another factor could of been how hard it is to hit home runs in Oracle Park ... Remember Ohtani isn't like Barry Bonds who pulled most of his home runs , Ohtani likes gap home runs and dead center home runs which are the furthest distances in Oracle Park

[@carsonblythe8604]

Los Angeles is a crap shoot too its just they hide it better. I think it comes down to the team. I am a huge giants fan and its sad to see the lack of real talent coming through our farm. While I think we are not Angels levels of awful at producing talent. We are just outclassed by the dodgers rn in a big way. I think we are trying to copy them at their game when we could build teams around pitching and run prevention. The dodgers pitching is good for a couple years then get super injury prone. We can turn random guys into frontline pitchers and combining that with defense and small ball will bring this organization back into its peak again. Same money will never work when they produce better talent than us consistently.

Dude. Look at reality. There's no defending San Francisco. It has nothing to do with right wing anything, it's as simple as drugs and homelessness taking over. I specifically said in the video that LA has issues as well, all of California does, but SF is the most notable right now.

Dude, SF isn't nearly as bad as LA is. I've been to both cities multiple times. Almost all major cities in California have some spots that are straight up terrible. It's a horribly expensive place to live, and anywhere there's a high poverty line there's high crime. Until a lot of these places become cheaper to live and thrive in, we're going to keep seeing horrible conditions in major cities across America. NYC is the same way. So is Miami. So is every major American city.

[@jeffrey_solis90]

The thing about SF being dangerous is that LA is no different. I'm a Dodger fan, over the moon that we got Ohtani, but I only ever go to LA for Dodgers games and maybe a convention if possible. It's not a SF or LA problem, it's a California problem, sadly. I don't know if the rest of the US is the same, but it's a problem.

[@Amrepdude499]

LA has some very nice areas tho and the stadium is separated from the city, that’s not saying some lowlifes don’t get into the Dodger stadium area, but In SF it’s not separate and it’s in a real bad part of town. I noticed when I went that the drug and homeless issue extends right to the front gates.

[@waifubreaks1572]

I agree that LA has its issues, especially with homeless and theft. I've seen people shooting up in the open and walking out of stores with full cases of beer, but then I look at cities like Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, and Baltimore and say to myself "well it could be worse". Maybe, American cities in general are completely fucked.

[@wolfboy8667]

The problem is that there are housing crises in cities especially. I live in the San Fernando valley (probably know where it is if you live in LA) one of the nicest areas in all of LA. But downtown/east/south LA are all full of graffiti, crime and all of that. Taxes are a big part of it, however it’s not for the reason many republicans especially think. Tax rates in California are higher than almost anywhere in earth, but we have a 20 dollar minimum wage, higher than anywhere else in the country, and we tax the poor much less rigorously than the rich. The job market has expanded under Biden, the quality of life has generally increased. The problem is mostly interest rates/inflation that has plummeted both San Francisco and Los Angeles. People can’t afford homes and it’s mostly because of COVID, so my point is that we can blame COVID for all our problems.

I had season tickets in 1988 including postseason first come privileges. It was Dodger Stadium when Kirk Gibson hit that dream homerun that was a game winner in game one of a five game WS with the once great Oakland A's. The following year of 1989 people were taking souvenir pieces of concrete from an earthquake rattled Candlestick Park home. While Oakland players had to drive around the Bay to get home to Oakland through San Jose. While in Oakland the double decker Nimitz Freeway had collapsed while the upstanding citizens of Oakland swarmed onto the freeway to help themselves...........
