SF is much more than downtown. How are the other neighborhoods doing? North beach, Chinatown, Castro, Sunset, etc? Would love videos on those areas. Too! Thanks!!

They talk a lot of downtown because the comercial buildings, but SF has a 100 things to do.

I am going to make a profound/long comment on on here but before I do I just want you to know I appreciate this comment so deeply you’ll never understand(maybe you will if you see my general statement of SF in the comment section after giving you an applause.) because I plan on moving my family here ASAP. I have the same vision as you and when you said you’ve been here 46 YEARS & we serendipitously feel the same about the transformation the city will make made my whole burst in happiness!!❤

Poor governance is also a major factor. City Hall is anti development and extreme regulation. Not to mention groups who will object anything. SF literally consumed itself. Retail in Tokyo Sydney Rome Paris ...etc...is fine so to blame online shopping is BS.

Actually, the title sb Truth about what’s going on SF Downtown. This native had never gone downtown much and no one else I know did either. We’re usually in the neighborhoods:Noe Valley, Richmond, sunset, dogpatch, bernal, etc….doing what we do. Downtown definitely deserted and will be interesting to see what happens but I wouldn’t judge the entire city on what’s going on down there.

Good video. SF will bounce back in a new way over next 5-10 years. It has a long history of boom and bust, but its fundamentals are strong and will remain so. Even rich cities have their problems particularly with accessible housing, homelessness, drug/mental health issues in the streets. Sadly quite prevalent in many cities. But yes, more needs to be done to make SF feel safe.

it;'s such a shame ,because honestly this was the only US city where, it was so liveable, great weather, beautiful nature, great jobs, AND most importantly great public transport. which is such a rare feat

Great video. Very articulate. I like the way you shot some of it on the street mixed with other content. I think AI is not necessarily defined as much by a concentration of office space as it is white floor space (data centers / "AI Factories"). Places that come to mind are Phoenix, DFW, and San Antonio. I've never visited S.F. but there's so much history there. It will be very interesting to see what happens with the commercial real estate market there and what the next chapter brings.

No analysis of the competition, remote work, or the housing market. Other global cities will have a lot to say about whether SF remains a center of innovation. Remote work distributes locations of work, so the concept of “center of innovation” is outdated. Finally, the affordability crisis in housing undercuts the multidimensional diversity required for great city living: it is the primary driver of SF’s current ills, and affects all social actors regardless of income or assets. This dude is a charming marketer, but his tech bro mentality is essentially unevolved from 2013. He’s left out class and culture factors central to city planning, which is the same failing from 2013 that led to the current crisis: people are fleeing SF because economic factors make it feel unlivable - and that intangible “feeling” factor is pivotal, as it is really the only thing that has differentiated SF from its global competitors. The powers that be must learn that great cities require diversity - in its broadest and most complicated sense - not merely capital flows in order to work. Planning regarding economic revitalization and public safety should take that into account.

I hope AI brings life back to the city but I don’t think it will be the savior. I think some new leadership at the elected level needs to come in to creat policy that attracts new types of business. I’m fact, this may need to change at the state level to truly have this impact but certainly could start at the city level. The reliance on tech, as we’ve seen and you post out in your video, had had a large impact. Albeit not the most positive as of late so falling back on that reliance I think gives a false sense of security. While AI will help new business coming to the city will create a better foundation for the long term.

What a difference a year makes. I was just there and Macy's seemed to be doing fine although Norstrom was having their final sales events before closing permanently. So sad to see the decline in what used to be one of my favorite US cities. I took the BART from the airport to Powell St and stayed in Union Square. I was shocked when the elevators had to be manned to keep the rif-raf out who previously were using them for toilets and drug use. The guy who rode the first one up with me said he was a former inmate and had the tattoos to prove it. Somehow his clipboard and chair in the lift made his employment story believable. That is the only US city that I actually saw human excriment on the sidewalk not far from the lift exit. Walking to the Social Security office was like walking through a war zone. I couldn't believe the people on the streets apparently on drugs bent over, half falling down in the middle of the day. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse I find your update here. I hope the mayor follows through and is able to turn things around.

Okay, if companies want the remote workers to return to the office in the financial district , for instance.... And the employees are resisting because they like working from home.. There are people right on the market street every day that are employable.. The companies can hire people that dont have an attachment to HOME.. Work is not a DEMOCRACY.. IS IT?

AI is obviously an important player in the rebirth game but city residents need to be informed and engaged in civic affairs. Vote for the political candidates who will break from the progressive party lines so improvements can be made. I know, easier said than done. :-))

@pumamanta1771 4 ай бұрын

lol there aren’t many progressives left in SF politics. If you mean the Mayor and her reigning rule, she’s a democrat but definitely more center right if not right wing.
