I’m frankly not sure what point this guy is trying to make.

So there’s an expensive restaurant that serves a comically overpriced hamburger. This is not new.

What is relatively new is the smell of feces and urine and general decay that permeates the entire city. That might be a bigger existential problem than a snooty restaurant, which SF has had for centuries.

Did somebody say snooty...restaurant?

“What is relatively new is the smell of feces and urine and general decay that permeates the entire city. That might be a bigger existential problem than a snooty restaurant, which SF has had for centuries.”

indeed ... all of his so-called “nostalgia” took aim at a ritzy restaurant and not one word about what’s REALLY destroying SF, namely epidemic street crime and legions of drug addicts and mentally ill camping on very surface of every piece of public property, including sidewalks and using the same as open-air toilets ...

and really, given the stupid prices for extremely crappy McD’s burgers, thirty bucks for a gourmet burger wasn’t out of line, particularly since they were able to cook the burger rare/medium rare, which means they fresh-ground their own burger mix ... it’s impossible to get a burger cooked like that at one of the big national chains because they don’t trust their employees to safely handle hamburger, so compensate by cooking their burgers into little charcoal patties ...

Exactly, the price of exorbitantly priced food used to bring along a certain level of elegant experience.

Now it's like having a $30 hamburger in Kinshasa.

Indeed. A $30 burger spells doom for San Fran but not the filth and degeneracy of Gamorrah on the bay.
