San Francisco is my city but lol, as someone from Mexican heritage I have never heard of Californios or Mexicans being accepted as equals after the US won. Californios such as Jose Castro were HEAVILY against American interventionism, the gayest district of the city is named after him.

Born and raised in SF and still here at 28. It's really complicated to explain how I feel about the current state of the city because I think parts of the picture are exaggerated while other parts are underestimated and not taken seriously, and there are also a lot of factors to bare in mind when looking at the current state of the city but the one thing I will say is that it's just not as lively as it used to be. I think anyone who says otherwise hasn't been here long enough.

It is a little depressing commuting into downtown SF lately. Every weekday feels like a Sunday. That said, restaurants and bars in my neighborhood in Oakland are way busier than before the pandemic. SF's losses are probably lots of other nearby cities' gains. Hopefully SF officials will stop bellyaching and use this as an opportunity to make downtown an attractive place to work, live, and visit for everyone, not just the 1 percent.

Even with historical footage you can see where development of the city (and area) starts to plateau around the 60s. Reasons would probably be an entire video on its own.

San Fransisco is often mentioned, at least outside the US, as being the only city in the US that has preserved the proper 'city landscape' by avoiding some of the auto-infrastructure. As an outsider to the city and country, it seems any cities' issues in the developed world are foremost a symptom (positive or negative) of the country and second - city politics. From what I've read, the 'pricing boom' of housing in San Fransisco is aligned with any city in the US or the EU. The average one bedroom apartment rental price is the same in SF as in some Nordic city centres. I don't see any reason for 'a fall' for San Fransisco as it still attaines a healthy job market. (Homeless people is a completely separate issue that usually has nothing to do with a city and everything to do with country policies. It's basically a choice.)

One thing you could have mentioned is all those people that came to California for the gold rush but ended up broke were able to re-invent themselves. Because everyone had something in common. They are all "immigrants" and they are all broke, so with no "home eyes" looking at them they can admit they are failures and can then start fresh from scratch. Though much hardship that attitude is what makes California particularly SF and Silicon Valley ideal start-up culture. I've met many people here that worked for failed startups but they all said they learned a lot and made good connections which they would have not if working for a big company. However, much has changed. Resting on tradition of the gold rush, startups, etc. seems to have evaporated. As I see more and more empty lots and buildings the area is becoming like Detroit.
