Read a smattering of national and even international news headlines and you can see it: San Francisco has an image problem.
It’s not just conservative media slamming the city. The New York Times, the Economist, even British-based publications like the Independent and Sunday Times have run recent stories on the state of San Francisco, ranging from its highly visible housing issues to its shoplifting problems.
“Why San Francisco’s city government is so dysfunctional,” reads a headline from the Economist. “Crime is basically legal in San Francisco,” says another headline from the Daily Mail. The New York Times, meanwhile, just ran an article stating that “the mundane crime of shoplifting has spun out of control in San Francisco, forcing some chain stores to close.”
In an interview with SFGATE, Sam Singer, one of San Francisco’s top communications strategists, approached San Francisco’s image problem from a PR perspective.
“Perception is reality,” he said.
“San Francisco has a deep-rooted and significant image and reputation problem,” he said. “In fact, I would say that the city is in crisis mode.”
Singer said San Francisco’s publicized corruption issues at City Hall and the Department of Building Inspection contribute to the city’s reputation. He noted what he called the city’s unwillingness to arrest and prosecute criminals, which leads to viral videos showing thieves running out of Walgreens with their spoils or tearing through Neiman-Marcus with stolen designer purses. (The mayor’s office and the Chamber of Commerce did not respond to SFGATE’s request for comment.)
Singer also said the city’s housing crisis, as evidenced by its visible homeless population, makes San Francisco appear inhospitable to tourists and locals alike.
“You’re looking at a city that is beyond the pandemic, that has a pandemic of mental health, drug abuse, crime and corruption issues”, he said.

They’re all a bunch of Bayholes.
When you hear a city is a s***hole you don’t expect it to be literally true.
Half the article is not about the city’s actual problems, but rather about the fact that “conservative” media call out the city’s actual problems.
You can’t polish a turd. In San Francisco’s case, literally.
San Francisco has one of the lowest percentages of POC population of any city in the country.
...for starters. Poster children for Women's Right's' no reason and no accountability. Why these entitled irrational women are elected to run our world is astonishing.
Maybe its the scat or the crime?
Oh heck, San Francisco has had an image problem since “Kung Fu” and ‘The Streets of San Francisco”. Hard to explain “The Doris Day Show”, though.
Well, if you elect criminals they will make crime easier. It’s not rocket science. DemonRATs are criminals. Instead of stealing money from working people to give to moochers they have just removed the middleman and allowed the moochers to steal directly. This should be upsetting the govt unions. No one has to go through the bureaucracy to get free stuff any more.

Mayor London Breed and Frau Nancy.
Sometimes, I think Mayor Breed has been getting paid to leave
certain problems unfixed.
That, or she allows Labor Unions to make too many decisions.
It should be in your face obvious that the first order of business
must be to change the rule of $950. robbery not being seen as a felony.
Why is this still going on? Walgreens has pretty much given up
on San Francisco.
Her younger sister died of a drug overdose in 2006 and her brother is in prison serving a 44-year sentence for a 2000 manslaughter and armed robbery conviction, for which Breed has repeatedly asked for clemency from the governor's office; in August 2021, she was fined for abusing her office in doing so.
I used to love going to SF each year, and did so for 17 years for a conference. Went there in 2020 and was one block off Fisherman's Wharf only to find human excrement all over the sidewalks, people passed out in doorways, and used needles in the gutters. I'm done with SF...you can have it.
SF has a reputation for feces, homosexuality, high housing costs, shoplifting, car breaks ins and car theft.
What are the positives of SF? Why does anyone still live there?
Flew in there and spent the afternoon on my way to north Cali back in the 80s. Beautiful city but the people however....and it was a freak show back then.
Can’t imagine now....wouldn’t go there to throw up.
“Why does anyone still live there?”
I’m thinking its mostly a 2 class city. Either your rich enough to insulate yourself from the mess or your too poor to be able to leave.
As I said, these women are poster children for Women’s Right’s’ no reason and no accountability. Why these entitled irrational women are elected to run our world is astonishing.
In my case, at least twice yearly since 1965. No more. Finito.
Crime is not legal for everyone in SF. Only certain demographic groups.
You left out the disgusting displays around of Castro street and seeing homos openly fondling each other in broad daylight.
