I’m actually in town for a meeting, and walked by this building this morning.
They’ve cleaned up this part of town, and there was an SFPD Mobile Command Post at Union Square last night. For the first time since Covid, you could walk around the city and not worry about a junkie panhandler or worse.
Market street is still a disaster, and office vacancy rates are still crazy, so the city is still in deep trouble. But you can see what an amazing place SF could be if it wasn’t infested with the most dysfunctional politics in the industrial world.
I was there on Wednesday. Went to Westfield Mall.

You need an appointment to go into Saks now. Not gonna happen.

Human ingenuity can create miracles.
Human stupidity can destroy just about anything.
