This week Oracle became the latest to announce they are pulling their annual conference from San Fran because of the exorbitant hotel rates and the filthy streets that made attendees not feel safe. The loss of that conference alone will cost the city $65MM...and they are not the first...or likely the last.

I was just there.
Dealing with the panhandlers at the gas station in Oakland by the airport was worse. Some fool actually tried to get into the car. My partner, he was fueling the car, was dealing with some sob story about not having money for gas while some other fucker wedged himself into the car. Fucker got pissed because he didn't know I was in the passenger seat. Tired and in need of coffee. I might have gone too far verbally. |

Adding to my above post: The City has changed! I have not been there in over a decade.

Good map. I visited in Oct-Nov. and didn't see any feces. But then again, I stayed in the Western Half of the city.

Wife worked for a couple of years in the NE part of the dark poop area.
The homeless were bad enough 17/18 years ago when they were supposedly trying to control the problem, I dread to think how much worse it gotten with a local government that completely absolves them of any responsibility for their actions. |

Aside from all of the street repairs and everything else that happens in big cities, I was most shocked by how much downtown SF had changed. Same, but different. I hired a rideshare. Thank God for that.
The City is a mess. Oh, after it became dark. It reminded me 100% of Blade Runner (1982) Traffic. Bicycles. People in traffic riding Dyson balls? Dealing with bums in Oakland sucked worse, though. |

View Quote I spent 4 nights in SF back in October - wife had surgery at UCSF Mission Bay (next to the new Warriors arena). I had a hotel in Visitacion Valley/Cow Palace but spent pretty much all day at the hospital. Even riding Muni thru Dogpatch/Hunter's Point I didn't have any problems - at times I think I was the only white guy on the train. Hotels in SF are stupid expensive - even the cheap ones. If you do have to go to SF and you want lower cost but decent try Greenwich Inn in the Marina District or Mylo Hotel in Visitacion Valley. Marina District is the nicer area for out of towners. From my experience all the stuff you see on the news is really very specific areas and it's unfortunate that folks think the entirety of SF is what they see on a 30 sec news clip. Yes - the streets are a disaster due to the construction. Van Ness/Hwy 101 is a f'ing nightmare. |

I hitched hiked through SF in 1980.
The tenderloin was dangerous AF then too. No doubt it's gotten worse, but must big cities are sketchy in areas. |

It is the shining example of liberal policies.
Everything they control turns to shit. Literally. |

They like organic shit, should be happy as a bunch of hippies with a loaded bong.

I flew in this last Saturday for an event in the NE tip of the dark area. Took the BART train from SFO to Ebarcadero and then walked.
The BART was gross. Homeless guy was mad dogging everyone as he cleaned his feet and let his shopping cart race up and down the aisle bashing into people everytime the train sped up of slowed down. How do you even get a shopping cart through the turnstyles? The financial district was a mix of snooty young folks in really really nice clothes and screaming homeless people. I hated it. I grew up there, too . . but haven't really been back to visit in 15 years. |

To Bad..At one time it was beautiful city. View Quote I grew up there in the 70s and it was indeed beautiful back then. My wife just returned from a conference there. She said the BART train was disgusting (and she’s used to the NYC subway); BART was far worse. Homeless are everywhere in SF. |

Beaten/robbed rich kids: "No." Cops: "Nothing we can do for you then." That kinda stopped their rioting at Union Square. They learned that actions do have consequences. |

Ludowski of WeAr Change.Org visits San Franshitco:
Insanity! I can’t believe what I saw in San Francisco He's in Civic Center and walks down towards Market Street towards the Powell Street Cable Car turnaround. I've never seen so much fear/consternation in Ludowski's face as in this video. I used to work around City Hall and broke up fights or prevented them in Civic Center Park. Ludowski goes by UriNation Plaza where the Simon Bolivar statute is. Note the store closures thanks to $15 hr minimum wage (which he mentions). The Hibernia Bank is (or was) the site of the Tenderloin Task Force. |

Marina is nice. Predominantly white. Their Safeway is the flagship store in San Francisco and it was crazy stupid to get parking when I went there. Turns out I went when the gas stations were closed in Marin County (blackouts) so the Marinites would go to Safeway Marina to do their grocery shopping.

7th street is one of the worst problems. You'd think with the 9th Circuit Court right there, they'd do something about it.

It just continually blows me away that Americans of all races, religions, and socioeconomic statuses do not all realize that everything liberals control turns to shit.
San Fran is the shining example on the left coast and Baltimore is differently but equally fucked on the east coast...but they are by no means the exceptions. You see this tragedy in almost every state, but perhaps no more clearly than in areas that have recently either turned left or seceded control to the left. Yeah, I'm talking to you Portland and Seattle. I hope they all drown in their own piles of shit. |
