Looks like one of those early downtown 70's malls, that is empty/dead.

Amazed that there are fresh flowers everywhere, in a dead mall.

I know, some will say that this was filmed in the early morning, but there is a Hop On/Off bus filled with people, which would not happen in the early morning.

Liberalism & insane Liberals including the Uniparty are destroying once beautiful American cities. Are the American people going to let this murder of our country continue? Greasy Newscum & the CA Assembly destroyed San Francisco & has almost finished off the entire State of California! They’re guilty of murdering CA!

My guess is the owner is still paying for its mortgage and upkeep and public appearance, perhaps trying to work out some plan with their bankers.

Wait until they mail them the keys and say “its yours now.” It will become Zombie-land.

I would think that would be unsustainable to the city coffers.

I loathe malls. Just watching the video makes my hair hurt.

For those of us who live in this area, and have visited the Embarcadero years ago, this is devastating. It’s as though some kind of bomb went off, the sort of explosion that removes most the people, but leaves the infrastructure intact. Even those greedy pigeons (aka Flying Rats) have stopped coming here.

One of the few occupations that remains steadily employed appears to be the landscapers. Those interior Date Palms, Rubber Trees and Pothos vines look healthy and recently watered.

Damn. Used to work at first and market close to those buildings. They were generally bustling. What I most remember are two bars there: Holding Company and Upper Level. This was in the 70s to early 90. Just like a disease, liberalism destroys another host.

Reading about it is one thing- seeing it this way is altogether different. One of the great U.S. cities, closing down in order to spare the feelings of criminals, avoid giving real treatment to addicts and opening some long-term mental health facilities. Unfreakingbelievable. Now they’ve got REAL problems with a growing loss of tax revenue.

It’s like The Omega Man in a lot of ways - but should be able to get a Mustang convertible for a great price - meanwhile, gotta drive another Ford convertible
