San Francisco is such an embarrassing shithole. Just spent a week there and happy to get out. Food is great though.

Nightlife is terrible, people dress and look terrible, dirty with needles and feces, homeless problem, as expensive as nyc despite being worse in almost every way

Food is great, and parts of it are amazing

But as a political body and statistical average, it’s a third world sh*thole

Even pre-pandemic, I remember being in the supposedly nice parts, like the financial district down close to the Embarcadero, and having to navigate several piles of human shit on the sidewalk on the short walk to my hotel. Homeless guys would leer at you and you didn’t know whether they might stab you. Crazy guys would yell out randomly. One homeless guy was beating someone, and there were needles on the sidewalk. I saw three people injecting something IV in broad daylight. Stores had anything that might conceivably be valuable locked up. You had to get them to unlock a case to even buy a $6 bag of almonds or something.

I got back to the hotel, turned on the TV, and the news was on. They were showing some woman being dragged out of her building, kicking and screaming, out of the entryway by a homeless guy who had snuck in when she was opening the door. A judge had released him that day on some other charge, apparently.

The air smelled like a mix of pot, urine, and feces. And this wasn’t the Tenderloin or anything. Supposed to be nice. The SF resident I was in town to see to join me at a meeting complained about his dogs eating piles of human shit when he walked them. He had lived there for decades and said it was becoming unlivable even back then.

We had people in from NYC in for the meeting and they couldn’t believe what a shithole it was and would not stop talking about it unprompted. Not like they were from Kansas or something. All this was in 2018 or 2019. I know it sounds unbelievable but I still remember it like it was yesterday. I understand things are materially worse now, somehow.

I will never forget the first time I saw someone take a sh*t on the sidewalk in San Francisco. F*cking failed embarrassment of a city

Also, that entire city is literally incapable of building new housing. A federal report showed that so far this year, SF has built a whopping 16 new units. 16.

OR they bussed themselves to a city where they get free needles to support their addiction, and also let them steal groceries, food, clothing as long as they keep the tab under $900 so they only get cited with a ticket (if caught) that they can’t pay anyways and will not have to go to jail. Sounds like a junkie heaven to me!

Not to mention they can receive “bonuses” by smashing car windows and hitting the jackpot with a work bag filled with electronics, and other valuables. At 40+ break ins a day, they’ll blend right in!

San Francisco made me so sad last time I went there. I was staying at the Marriott downtown across from Levi’s. I thought it’d be a great idea to walk over to Brenda’s Soul Food before my flight. It was like 7 blocks of walking over homeless people’s tents and feces on the sidewalk. I can’t believe one of the wealthiest cities in America lets people live like that.

The guy starts to think I want a relationship (which is half true) and then distances himself. Anyone else go through this cycle?
