San Francisco has 68% fewer people in the downtown area.

Cell phone usage in cities showing how many cities are way down in visits as people either moved away or work from home or simply do not want to go into the city.
City buildings are also selling below what they were worth prior to the illegal lockdown.

Minneapolis is just 40% of what it was prior in 2019.
Los Angeles is 63%
San Francisco just 32% !!

Hardly any crime in those cities and taxes are low and you can buy a home cheap...... 😒

Metro Detroit actually has the largest concentration of Palestinian expatriates in the world outside the Middle East. It is the Arab capital of North America From memory, about 250,000 expats.

Detroit area only has about 25,000 Palestinian expats. There are much larger concentrations in New Jersey, New York, and Chicago. Detroit’s Arab population largely consists of Lebanese and Iraqi Chaldeans, and a large majority are Christians. Some of the more recent transplants are Muslim, but the majority are still Christian.

“Who is loaning money to anyone to build in SF?”

I’m sure this building was in the planning / finance stage many years ago when loans were cheap and San Francisco was only a burgeoning $hit hole.

Well, when leftist politicians and voters are calling the shots burgeoning turns into full fledged $hit holes in no time.

Re: "25,000 Palestinian Expats"

Someone needs to explain that to Bing and Google.

According to the 2022 Census update, 425,000 Arab Americans live in metro Detroit.

I’ve been to Detroit once...a few years back.I attended the International Auto Show...arrived from Indiana at about 10AM...and I was in that tunnel to Canada at 4PM. All I can say is “YIKES!”

Yup—if there is a big earthquake they might as well leave the rubble in place.

Put the illegal aliens on buses to the rubble so they and the homeless can live together in peace and harmony...

;-)

In our area city (Hartford, CT) everybody fled after the 1968 riot—and never looked back.

The politicians and chamber of commerce types have been using every propaganda trick they have to lure developers back—the few who got suckered in lost tons of money over the years....meanwhile the propaganda continues on....there are always a few marks remaining out there.
