The editorial board of the San Francisco Chronicle is urging that the city adopt a response similar to that which New York City used after 9/11 to save the downtown, and the entire Bay Area, from economic “collapse.”

As Breitbart News noted last June, the Chronicle had already warned that the downtown area was in danger of “collapse” because of commercial office vacancy, a legacy of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown policies.

The report noted:

On Friday, the Chronicle published an interactive article titled “Downtown S.F. on the brink: It’s worse than it looks.” The article invites readers on a virtual walk through the center of the city highlighting abandoned offices and empty storefronts.

I say let it burn like the Towering Inferno..

[Fai Mao]

Burn it down
Burn it to the ground
Burn the ground

[youngidiot]

The only downside is all of the refugees would then flood Texas and Florida

[PGR88]

Save us from our own stupidity!

[BuchananBrigadeTrumpFan]

If the SF Chronicle has finally figured it out... it’s probably already too late.

Its all of Californication thats the problem.

Popping a pimple your butt won’t help much when your whole body has a cancer!

San Francisco can’t be “saved” without a vast cultural change.

And I don’t see that happening.

Trouble in paradise??

They did it to themselves, and no one else.

Except it is all self inflicted.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Such a pity. Ditto Portland and Seattle

If they are blaming Covid, the response won’t matter.

Translation: they want someone else to pay for the mess they created.

They have an open air drug market right in front of Federal property downtown. Maybe the lack of the rule of law is the problem? You think?

[packagingguy]

And Gavin Newsom will probably be out next president. The problem is going nationwide.

The reality:

They’ve been hoping for the ‘big one’ so that they could fleece the country like they did in 1906. It didn’t happen, so they’ve manufactured yet another ‘crisis’.

[DeplorablePaul]

And salt the ground...

[Sicon]

Couldn’t happen to a nicer literal sh*thole filled with liberals, drug addicts, and illegal aliens. Let it rot. It is sad, as it was once a beautiful city. But as The Won liked to say, “elections have consequences”.
