Must be Trump’s fault.
Turds on the sidewalk and massive punitive taxes have nothing to do with it.
Nancy Pelosi’s town.
See, see! Trump’s racist, sexist tweets again! IMPEACH! AGAIN!
A beautiful, exciting city turned into a shitthole by Democrat Party idiocy.
All of those you mentioned and of course the $15.00 minimum wage might have something to do with it too...
I consider the $15/hr wage mandate a government tax.
My father loved San Francisco and Sausalito, when he got back from WWII and spent some time there - he came back loving ‘Chinese’ food.
I doubt he’d have wanted to navigate turds and homeless tents to go to a restaurant, though.
Lived in S. F. briefly in the late seventies. It was already getting seedy, but still very “livable.”
The minimum wage remains zero.
A once great city.
In retrospect, the naivete is amazing:

How many restaurants are there in San Francisco? What has been the historic shutdown rate in SF and in other cities? What are the chances that 400 would be a typical number of shutdowns but there is a “need” by the press to hype it, much as in the Dilbert cartoon when Dogbert in in HR and he gets the boss outraged by telling him that 40% of the sick leave days are taken on Monday or Friday.

It’s the Poopy city that raised the minimum wage, what else would you expect in a DemocRATic H*llhole.
Have you seen what many parts of San Francisco look like today? Have you seen all of the homeless tents parked in front of businesses? Nobody wants to walk past that in order to enter a business and DO business:

SF is high on my bucket list of places not to visit.
preemptive strike before the gas stove ban...
What we’re seeing here isn’t business closure its people leaving the state.
Good. Hopefully more will close in 2020.
nine years ago my wife worked in the airline industry, which meant we could fly for free. We used to fly from Seattle to Burbank at oh dark thirty, rent a convertable, spend the day in the area, and fly back that night.
We decided to try it with San Francisco once. But the catch was we had to fly into oakland and take the train into town. So, we take the bus to the train station in oakland to catch the train to San Francisco. But the crowd was so “troubling’ at that station that after a half hour there, we took the surface transportation back to the airport and caught the next flight back to Seattle.
It literally felt like one of those “post apocalyptic” movie sets. I was concerned for our safety, and at the time I bicycle commuted through some very ‘iffy” neighborhoods into Seattle every day.
And now that my daughter moved out of Studio City, I’ll never see California again. I have no more desire to go there than to visit Sudan.
