Did not realize you lived in the city.
Was there this morning and was getting pissed about having never noticed the damned street lights are not metered.
They are timed and I just sat there with no other care passing and wondering to my self:
“Uhm Self. I don’t even see any cops. What would happen if I just rant the light?”
For sure a cop I didn’t see would nail me
Anyway, drove around for a bit and thought “When was the last time a cable car ran down California Street?”
Then went to Union Square and drove around aghast. Essentially no cars no people and this 10 days from Christmas.
How is that possible at Christmas there is almost no one on the streets and at the stores?
Union square is like a ghetto now.
All boarded up. Most hotels are housing homeless on homeless contracts. No doormen or bars. 85 percent of restaurants closed. The rest are takeout only.
No cable cars running.
No theatre, concerts, entertainment.
A handful of day trippers mostly in awe of how bad things look.
I can’t believe the liberals have done this to themselves. Well of course they have done it to all of us. But SF Bay Area is the most liberal part of the US and it’s bad, dude.
What’s still open?
Takeout. Essential jobs. Medical. MUNI running halfway. Government I guess. Retail that has managed to stay afloat at 20 percent capacity. Grocery and liquor stores and pot clubs. Banks.
