San Francisco used to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. From Fisherman’s Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge, the city had a little of everything, including a vibrant culture. Recent years have seen this elegant city descend into a post-apocalyptic hellscape with rampant crime, homelessness, drug use, and feces in the streets. A recent viral TikTok video horrifies viewers worldwide, showing how terrible the city has become.
Crime has become so bad that major retailers have exited the city, with retail shops closing their doors due to an absurd policy in the city where police don’t respond to shoplifting incidents under $950. Criminals have become wise to this policy, and break-ins have increased with little recourse.
The San Francisco Chronicle released a map of the wave of retail closures, which this year have included Target, CVS, Starbucks in multiple locations, and more. Office spaces are similarly impacted with the post-COVID work-from-home environment becoming the standard and the city becoming more of a liability for companies to have their employees travel to than a benefit of having them in the office.
“We used to be getting $6 per square foot rent, and now we’re getting nothing,” one San Francisco building owner told PJ Media.
The viral TikTok video posted by freqmeek shows a scene in the dangerous Tenderloin district far worse than most people comprehend. “The anxiety we experience just traveling to work daily in the Tenderloin in San Francisco, California is unbelievable,” freqmeek writes in the caption. “This is overwhelming and mentally draining… not to mention the dangers of the unpredictable environment.”

The scene is something one would expect to see in a warzone like Gaza, not in a bastion of liberal America in the heart of one of the wealthiest regions of California.

Keep electing Democrats.
Looks like a party man .... wohooo
Every body pull your pants down to your knees and walk like a zombie .... good times
Truth be told, that's a distinction without a difference.
Stupid liberals don’t realize they have created this destruction.
That video could be any major city in the U.S.
All run by democRATS. Enjoy the suck.
California resigned and is no longer America
Sadly, I think we are all going to be enjoying that suck soon.
The last time I was in San Francisco, I developed a headache and couldn't wait to get out.
I was living at Stinson Beach (yeah, I know, "one of the most expensive zip codes") when I decided to leave California forever.
They probably love it.
Poor and homeless are bad for environment.
This is what happens when the Bible is thrown out of our culture.
It doesn't matter whether people are atheists or deeply religious in a Biblical way, the wisdom as presented in the Bible is the bedrock of Western civilization. This is the foundation upon which every element of our modern lives rests. Without it, we would be riding camels (or walking) and living in hovels.
Yet, our colleges and universities have brainwashed people into believing that this ancient wisdom can be tossed in the round file without any impact on our lives.
Well, take a good long look at San Francisco. That's the result.
That's the future.
And then China takes over.
I left the Bay Area in 1989 post earthquake and never looked back.
I never looked back either. I don’t even like going there to see beloved relatives. They come to see me—much better.
