That's the Tenderloin District. A few blocks that were designated in 1850 for VICE. So it's always been bad. The cops looked the other way, because they accepted bribes and became so wealthy they were able to eat good cuts of meat...the tenderloin. As for San Francisco, IT'S BEAUTIFUL>

It's not just your person that is unsafe, but your car is a sure target. And if you protect yourself or your vehicle don't expect Justice from SF, expect punishment for attacking a Sacred Cow that wanders the streets.

It was a wonderful safe metropolis with a weird, alternative, small town flavour, great sights and environment, wonderful people and dinning. Having watched the fall of the city to crime, drugs and tent cities makes me so sad... They need a 180 reversal and recovery before I would ever consider going back...

With the INSANELY high cost of living and the very expensive property taxes the people of San Francisco pay how could they not expect anything less than perfection and this is nowhere close. BTW did I also hear people demanding justice for a suspected criminal? How do these people think this is going to even remotely encourage businesses to want to stay in the city. This is not just "zombie land' this is "crazy land". If it wasn't for the beautiful weather, it would be a total loss. What a dichotomy between the amazing weather and the filth and graffiti of the streets. Looks like another fine example of Democrat leadership at its best. How sad.

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.

My heart would break a little more everyday for my hometown and the increase in disparity I was seeing. I used to bash the people who were complaining about the homeless because most of them were transplants themselves, and didn’t realize that not just the influx of homeless/addicts transients to California were the problem but also the corporations and all their overpaid and useless entitled employees/employers that didn’t think twice about paying way too much rent to take up space in luxury accommodations while teachers and other civil servants that the city relied on to function properly kept getting pushed to the other suburbs and forced to commute 2 hours in traffic so the tech assholes could educate their kids. 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. Good job tech people. Way to destroy literally everything. Keep blaming the homeless and drug addicts that the rest of the country sent to us and act like it’s the local natives of SF who some how ruined everything when for the most part everyone who is from SF had to leave or was displaced and had nothing to do with its downfall. 👍🏼

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.

It feels like the SF Bay Area is in rapid decline. I used to live not far from Detroit. Detroit was the wealthiest city per capita in the 1950s. With the fall of the car industry, it fell as well. I'm seeing a similar vibe here.

For those not from the SF Bay Area, SF is quickly becoming another Detroit. Even basic laws are no longer enforced, the police force has "quiet quit," and most sane people either already have or will leave SF soon. The corruption and ineptitude of local politicians could rival that of Chicago. Seeing this is very depressing to me, because I remember the way SF was in the 1990's, and it really was wonderful to visit, have nice dinner on Saturday night, and take a leisurely stroll around Union Square before heading home at 1AM. That was then. Taking a leisurely stroll around Union Square at 1AM today would be nothing short of a death wish.

I was at a big convention there a decade ago, and they had the tenderloin area we had to walk and even run, as they have rent-a-babies on blankets begging for money. Just for drugs. Had to dress up in a bright red ski jacket with heavy pads and gloves and grunt at them, so they would leave our group alone. Even they do not like crazy people, so act crazy big time and they just stay away. It help when you look crazy and are very big too! Had to play their game, but never will our company go to that decadent city again unless the politics change. May not, so it may look like Havana, Cuba soon as all retail can not make a living there and employees and customers are not safe either. So, sorry, as it was such a beautiful American city. The dems can have it along with the homeless and drug addicts, etc., as retail can not stay for long. No tax base in this and other leftist cities will for sure kill them all over time. Been to all of them for convention shows, but most companies now are just saying NO way to that, as they are not safe and moving south where law and order still prevail!
