[@stanspb763]

I have not been back to San Francisco for 4 years after living there in the second have of th 1960s as a teen who moved there from Sacramento. I was a nerd but moved there after selling my profitable electronic repair shop. I graduated HS mid term so the same day packd up my 58 Chevy with my clothes, some test gear and $4000 from selling my 4 year old established hifi and amateur radio repair ship started at 13yo. To me San Francisco was the intenational port of culture, the arts, world communities and all things desirable. My yearly visits to spend the night in a hotel and shop for school clothes every August was the highlight of the year, because I got to visit real museums in Golden Gate Park or shop in China Town. I rented an apartment on a cliff overlooking Playland of the Pacific to the south and Cliff House to the west. It was expensive then due to the entire south facing wall was glass floor to ceiling with a view all the way to the the south. At the time housing was not too expensive but this 2 bedroom with great world class view was worth every cent. I parked the car and used my bike, walking or bus . I was not interest in the music scene that was raging at the time because I was a nerd but soon musicians found that there was this nerdy kid on the cliff who could repair their amps. They were simple circuits so easy to fix. There was a ham radio store up Balboa (the apartment address was 48th and Balboa but it required walking or driving up a narrow curving drive way to reach it. Directly below at the base of the cliff later would become The Family Dog Ballroom.. The radio store often had parts I needed so it was pretty easy to repair them, my customers, or trade for food or anything, were all on the verge of being signed and becoming household worlds, such as this tall skinny Mexican kid a year older, who had nothing to pay, I did not ask, but he wrote out a note and asked me to come hear him play at a place called Winterland. I happened to be in the area later so stopped by and showed the note to the door and went in to a large ballroom. That was the first time I heard of my new aquaintence, Carlos Santana, and found a new appreciation for the diversity of San Francisco music that was before WoodStock where he begged a late night spot that the promoters did not know or plan for any voluneer added bands so they gave their large band a well after minute play. The Bay Area knew the Santana band but at woodstock the whole world learned of their incredible talent. His gamle to drive a bus all the way to NY on the hope of begging a spot to play for free paid off with a major label recording contract. My new found interest in the music scene centered around the Grateful Dead. I started designing custom equipment for groups and later ended up in the recording industry owning a failed recording studio that I turned into one that was booked solid and recorded top groups for years. I still do not play any instruments but know what audiences would respond to and the technical aspects of recording. I moved out of the US in 2000 beause it was clear to me that it was sinking, maybe not yet but had lost its way in many ways. I have only been back 5 times in 23 years and seeing the fracturing of society into 1000 factions were each hates the other 99 made it uncomfortable to even be in California and seeing the beautiful city by the bay become diry, smelly and in serious decline I avoided landing in SFO because my usual BART train, I was warned, has been taken over by homeless and gangs. But this video shows a lot cleaner Tenderloin than I remember on my last 3 visits. Union Square had been taken over by the smell of urine and human feces covering the streets and thousands of homeless. Just to show a little support I booked 5 days in a hotel in Union Square to explore the city but I was refused entry because my prepaid booking was denied because all I had for ID was my US passport, expired Cal drivers license and my new-that-morning- temp renewal license. The manager said it was not legal to check in without US IF and passports do not count nor renewed temp drivers license. That must have been a niew law but I left to find another and was turned down, with the reason being only foreign citizens can use a passport for ID. That is something I noticed on each return trip, the number of nonsense restictive laws passed between visits seem to multiply. I gave up with hotels so tried hostels(the first place refused to refund my$800 prepaid because as the manager claims, I tried to check in by fraud.) I was turned down by a few Hostels but found one that was a fun place, very social and nice for $32 a night. The girl who checked me the passport was fine. I stayed a week and then asked to stay 4 more days. The same day the girl came to me say her manager who collects the money at 6 hostels, told her to kick me out because I had no legal id or what they demand now "Real ID". But she added, he will not be back for a week so I could stay 5 more days for free because she would tell him I was kicked out.. I have not returned since. I suppose people who are in the US who are seeing the changes in little steps that do not seem dramatic so they are less concerned but seeing 4-5 years of accumulated change at once in a return visit are likely as shocked as I am when I return, to experience the division, wokism/counter culture and infrastructure collapse all at once are probably as shocked as I was.

The people who worked in Silicon Valley but insisted on living in hip areas of SF so they could indulge in the metropolitan lifestyle they imagined for themselves was rude and entitled and senseless and now we’re dealing with the long term consequences of those choices and meanwhile all those self serving high paid tech gentrifiers who insisted on living in Hayes valley and the commuting down to Cupertino everyday are now probably sitting in their luxury houses (in the suburbs or back in their boring affordable home state) , procreating just like Elizabeth Holmes and all their corrupt money grubbing actions will be exposed and their kids disgraced and poverty stricken eventually too.

[@harold.one.feather]

The situation you described is called government detachment. It happens when the government becomes increasingly out of touch with the people it is supposed to represent. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as: - The government is corrupt. - The government becomes more bureaucratic and less responsive to public input. - The government becomes more focused on the interests of special groups, such as wealthy donors or powerful corporations. - The government becomes more polarized, with elected officials more concerned with winning elections than with serving the public good. Government detachment can have a number of negative consequences, such as: - The government becomes less effective at solving problems. - The government becomes less accountable to the people. - The government becomes more likely to make decisions that are harmful to the public interest. There are a number of things that can be done to address government detachment, such as: - Making it easier for people to participate in government. - Reducing the influence of special interests in government. - Promoting civic engagement and public awareness of government issues. It is important to address government detachment because it can lead to a number of problems, including ineffective government, lack of accountability, and decisions that are harmful to the public interest.

When I heard the chants for " Release that tape " it made me think you had a lot of fans wanting to see Relaxing Electric Rides. I'm wrong again ! Some days you just can't win.

The movie "Blade Runner" was set in Los Angeles in November of 2019,with a world of synthetic humans,flying cars and mercenary wars on space colonies. In 2023,it looks like we have a very long way to go before that prediction comes true.

[@anderander5662]

But the synthetic drug part of Blade Runner has come true

[@SquareNoggin]

That was a dystopia though bro... Blade Runner LA was a hellscape

aside from the garbage, graffiti, and drug addicts, the city looks fine. It could probably be recovered in just a few years with proper leadership and policing

What you show now seems to be cleaner that what I remember in the 80s and 90s. Of course a lot more people walking around back in the day also.

[@Jake-u2o]

Remember when a condo in San Francisco was in the millions ??? Now they are giving them away just to clear them off the books !!! Can you imagine being stuck in a condo that you paid 3 to 5 $million for and now it’s worthless !!!

[@HammerPaired]

I'm thankful to have seen this. I'm now comfortable knowing that as long as we don't vote unwisely in our city, it shouldn't become a hell hole like this place.

[@jensen1901]

And what exactly in the video above makes you think SF is a "hell hole?"

Looks like a video game filled with NPC's

[@rtdzign]

Lived a block or two above the tenderloin area of the first five minutes of the scooter ride in 2001-02. All the homeless and vagrants were there then. But back then you even see some homeless and crazies in a good mood. What is missing is the people walking around excited to do something or on the way to something cool.

[@churchofpos2279]

The Tenderloin has always been considered a "rough area", but it just seems to have gotten worse. I stopped going to San Francisco 20 years ago, when it started to be unsafe , even during the day.

[@waterislife5109]

Looks like a lot of empty shops. Where are all the people?

One of the problems in San Francisco is that all the amenities and facilities to help the homeless and addicted are right in the Center of the city and are highly visible. Move them out of the Center.

[@katiee.4396]

Homeless and addiction are thriving industries in California. Politicians don't want it to end.

I used to do leasing in the TL... Its so sad and infuriating... Theres good families that live there and their kids play on the street and theres needles all over the place and passed out/strung out pieces of shit that just dont care but im "required" to worry about the idiot that chose the life of drug use and not care much for the good people that have to live in that area.......

I'm a native San Franciscan and drove a taxi in the city for forty-two years but I could never live there again. I moved out of the city in 2005 and out of the country in 2019 and have no plans to return. Too many crazy people.
