The part of San Francisco in that video is especially bad. I was at about the 2000-2400 area of Market Street (sort of between the Castro and the Mission District)last week. That area seems to be doing semi-okay. It’s grubby and smelly, but businesses are open. Saw a few homeless, a few stoned people, only a couple of tents on the sidewalk. Safeway and Whole Foods were busy. Ace Hardware was doing pretty good business. Restaurants weren’t too busy but had a steady flow of customers.
Drove through some areas in other parts of the city that looked horrific and some of the outlying areas that seemed nice enough. I wasn’t in San Francisco by choice, and it’s sure not somewhere I’d pick for a vacation. No way in hell that I’d ever want to live there.
The city used to keep all that contained in the Tenderloin, but it spilled way outside that area.
