This SF Starbucks’ seating was removed. Employees think they know why.

Maybe the plan is to let it all go to Hell, then, buy it up for pennies on the dollar.
After that, the benifits for the homeless dry up and they are swept up and dust binned.
Instantly, the buyers are sitting on prime real estate.

San Fran is a sewer.
Run in the ground by Democrats.

That town is in an ever increasing spiral. As businesses and people leave, tax revenues decrease. With decreased tax revenues, the city will raise taxes... causing more people to leave... tax revenues decrease some more, so the town raises more taxes. Democrats don’t understand cause and effect.

All deliberately done. On the upside some well connected friends of pols will get some great real estate at low cost.

Forty years ago, my father took me to Brooks Brothers in Union Square and bought me a suit after graduating college. Gone as of 2020.

I wonder if Fisherman’s Wharf has any life left? Last time I was there in 2016, it was swarming with tourists going to the restaurants, the little shops, or getting on the boat to Alcatraz (like my friend and me) or getting on the sunset cruise boat (also my friend and me later the same day.)

I wonder if the Democrats have killed all of that too?

I was at the Opera House several years ago and first time in SF. the stench of urine in the streets was wretched. Never visited California after that trip.

California’s reparations task force has voted to approve recommendations on how the state may compensate for reparations to Blacks, with estimates projecting that the state could owe $800 billion, or more than 2.5 times its annual budget.

I would ask the last person out of San Francisco to turn out the light - but someone will just steal it.

SF built a homeless shelter/housing right next to Fisherman’s Wharf-—Sure cut down on the magic that WAS there.

Scoma’s dinners were worth the trip.
