“The Swedish tech company leased three floors of office space in a 1922 building at 988 Market St. that includes the Warfield theater concert venue. “

Having made dozens of excursions to San Francisco in my youth and before its’ demise, I can tell you THAT neighborhood has always been full of junkies and whores of every stripe.

Even reaching back to to the beat era of the late 50s.

Whomever sold that property made a killing compared to its real worth.

Even though The Warfield was always a great music venue.

Now I venture no further in than the War Memorial Opera House, use valet parking then get out as quickly as possible. Maybe take a cab to Aliotos for dinner to watch the sunset over the Golden Gate before the show.

But I do not walk the streets. And I will not abandon this great city until I see her burned to the ground.

There’s a LOT of cops in San Francisco, but nobody knows what they do.

My mother grew up on 19th avenue, I was born in San Mateo in 1965 and lived in the bay area for many years. Left in 78 but have visited many times over the years. Was dating a woman who lived in Mill Valley, such a gorgeous place and SF is special but it has gone downhill. The silicon valley mentality was disgusting and they only way they can survive is because of the obnoxious amount of money they have. They live in a bubble.

My grandfather used to bring me all over the city, most of it was safe and fairly clean, now it is a crap hole. Such a waste, stay safe and enjoy what you can.
