People change, the change of times. How many middle-class families live in San Francisco (within the city)? High tech, gentrification, opulence changed San Francisco.

I moved here 1980. Things of course have changed. Things have always been changing in SF. That’s the magic. Nostalgia creates a lot of shaded memories. Most things have changed for the best. I can remember the embarcadero with its double deck freeway. Nobody would ever go there. It was dangerous to go almost anyplace in the south of market. You wouldn’t want to walk to the train station after dark. Those who say SF has gone downhill never actually lived here. It has always been magical.

California is so messed up in 2022. As a Canadian, who visited California in 2019 it’s literally a hell hole now. Now wonder why people are leaving California for Texas, Oregon and Florida.

It's a bitter sweet thing to have grown up in the '80s. I think the nostalgia for those of us that did is much deeper than previous generations because of the technology we have today. I can watch hours upon hours of commercials from my childhood on KZbin. Whereas 20 years ago when my father was my age internet was still mostly dial up.

San Francisco during the 90s was still a great place to visit. It wasn't until the mid 2000s, that's when everything went downhill. Coming from a long-time native San Franciscan born in the early 1990s.

in the summer my friends and I would hit up Frisco on the 0-line A/C Transit. Before Ferris Bueller came out, we did the same thing (around 1979) of leaning against the window of a highrise (Fairmont and St Francis Hotel) glass elevators. You would get up on your friends shoulders and both of you would lean forward when the elevator was rocketing upwards. or we would go to lands end and find the tunnel entrance (like the backroom videos of Uncanny Valley). very weird. you climbed down a makeshift ladder of rebar. or we would buy kites in Chinatown and glue broken glass on the string and have Chinese Style kite fights on Twin Peak's. you know, stuff that was sorta free. Lastly- (never do this) dare to enter the west portal and lean against the walls when the train came by inches from face). they since modified it and you CAN DIE NOW. dont do it. but I learned that from my pops who was a kid in the 1930s and would that shit. so we tried it once. ONCE.! (0)v(0)

I wish I could say yes, but I really don’t know if it can. My cousin moved back to our hometown in the central valley because of how it’s gotten, and living in SF was always her dream.

It all started 10's of thousands of years ago when the glaciers melted and then, eventually, some Europeans showed up...nothing in between.
