I would check out what stores are open in SF, but like NYC, it's not worth the time and effort.
@@user-yc4oj5pb1v Do you mean you want more videos like the video I've attached because that is what that video is about.
@@NomadSoloTravel no thank you, no more videos. What Newsome has done to California is a nightmare. Respect to you.
ALL IS WELL! ALL IS WELL!
It’s crazy how much damage a bad mayor and a D.A. who’s soft on crime can do to a city.
You are giving way to much power to these 2 individuals...you have other large cities that are facing similar situations ..I think Covid was the culprit in showing & peeled back the layers of outdated down towns across America..that really need to be retooled in new ways for the 21 century. Is San Franisco up for the task..? Or will it take the easy & lazy way out with blaming others. Aren't we the city of the cutting edge & know how...So lets stop blaming & wining ..& get to the drawing board in creating a down town & city that all people can be a part of.& be a way shower for the rest of America..ruclips.net/video/R4_330_JWtY/видео.html
But you all voted for them, you got what you voted for
You left out at the top Scumbag greasehead pelosi nephew Newsom.
Don't forget the Democratic Party's super majority. They create dumb ass legalization unopposed by common sense.
it is the whole concept of being a democrat....these companies need to pay!!!!.......so they just fold up and leave.
I visited San Francisco 12 years ago and it's one of the prettiest places I've seen. So many different cultures, and art and history. Now it's a toilet. Literally
Yep, and getting WORSE !!!
San Francisco is the Shit Hole City By The Bay !!!
Seattle and all cities getting same..drugs,crime.homel3ss..humans not caring about ones self,,cannot care for others..wh6 do drugs in first place is beyond me..
Sorry NO toilets either 😦 just back Ally's 😢
Now you know what liberalism does don't you!
Nice job, Nancy
Vice and Cronies the San Francisco Treat!
And here I thought that it was poop that favorite San Francisco treat we don't even Supply boiling bags anymore @@darwest8833
What the hell are you talking about? This is city government it has nothing to do with the federal government get your head out of your behind
Everything is closed in Philadelphia PA too.
All the stores are bordered up.
They will never be back
Who is paying all those taxes to pay the mayor and city council salary? Fire and sue them all!
the same people who voted for them, let them figure it out.
YOU ARE !!!
The fact that you are even asking that says all i need to know about the people of California.
Amen Brother!@@DaneofHalves
Stop voting Democrat . Simple
It's criminal and the whole local government should be arrested along with government in Sacramento
It's the citizens fault for electing them over and over and over. It's the citizens vote for screaming defund the police. This is all the people's fault.
@@ccirish4519 you think those elections were all unanimous??
@@sailingaeolus well they have an official count, its public record. and i dont think it has ever shown a unanimous vote
All over priced anyways.
gruesome, twosome newsom. Mr Slick.
Yea nice job Nancy, Gavin you two did a great job vacating the city for your SALE TO THE CHINESE. FJB FBO
How did you get to be such a hateful jerk?
Give the conspiracy theories a rest bud.
Why would the Chinese want to buy?
The Chinese have been in San Francisco for decades. They built railroads, underground tunnels, some were into gambling, drugs and prostitution.
@Cerulean0987 they literally cleared the streets of the homeless when the Chinese president came to visit. That is not a conspiracy theory.
This is happening in a lot of major cities. I was staying in downtown Chicago a few weeks ago and countless stores that use to be there are gone and still closing. Disney, New York and Company and Urban Outfitters closed during the pandemic. Idk when Marshall Fields closed as well as countless others
Marshall Fields closed over 15 years ago.
MF&Co were bought out by Macy’s . They Destroyed a great retail department store .
Yes, The cities that are demoncrat ran!!!!! While others are growing and prospering like crazy!!! It's not rocket science figuring this out. LOOK at the common denominator in EVERY single city!!!! Just facts, that's all!!!
Democratic major cities^^
And they STILL vote democrap!
When there is no law to protect the good citizens and the businesses, this is what happens. It's very sad.
citizens ARE the law. Take things into your own hands.
Hope the pinheads that voted for this are happy with stores closing down in the downtown, but I'm sure they don't care and will gladly bounce to the polls and vote Democrat yet again in the next election !!
The law now protects the lawlessness.
@@anvoong2510 anarcho tyranny.the worst of both worlds :(
@@johndubose1395 but then "law enforcement" will shoot us or put us in cages for decades :(
Yes! Law enforcement defunding movement finally works! good for you!
"They" voted for all this. Go, S.F.
Its so sad how i have memories shopping in these stores with my mom when i lived there... We used to love spending the day in thr garment district clothes shopping, eating good food, and enjoing the city. Such a heartbreak
Thanks Nancy !
Thank You for the information.
We changed our travel plans today.
No West coast!
I guess you haven’t been following the news in America these past three years!?! You need a RUclips to advise you not to travel to a city? Do some homework, please! You sound the people who keep voting the progressives into office and then wonder why the United States is going to pot!
What´s your alternative then?
There’s almost nothing left to steal in SF. That must be why tourist car break-ins, and armed robberies are so prevalent.
Yep. I watch a RUclips blogger that was visiting a San Fran attraction and left his rental car for like two hours. Came back to a busted window and stolen laptop and many other things. Once everything there is gone, the people that caused this will relocate and most likely be even closer to you!
Nothing left to steal? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how rich SF is? The reason for all the car break ins and the shoplifting and the smash and grab robberies is because they are being done by organized gangs. They work in teams. They realize they can easily get away with it because there are few if any consequences. Once the politicians and the judicial system-the courts, the DA-get serious about stopping it, then it will change. Or if they don’t, I predict people will more and more start to take the law into their own hands. The way it is now will not go on forever-how it stops is the only question. I am not including the SFPD in my criticism because they would LOVE to do more. But they are understaffed and fed up with people they arrest being released almost immediately, especially by judges who sympathize with criminals more than their victims, as well as various court rulings in the past that, to be fair, make it hard for the judges to be hard on crime. It’s a mess! Btw, I live in San Francisco.
@@someoneout-there2165 My aunt revisited San Francisco after 25 years. They left the (rented) car for one hour, to go see the bridge. Busted window, stole anything valuable.
I lived downtown in 2010 and while the stores and downtown mall were open, the crime was out of control and the rent was very high. Now the rent is higher and the city is as bad or worse as this video has depicted.
Merchants need to start suing the mayor and district representatives. They should have stepped in to stop this.
The problem is too much of the public think it's a good idea to not punish people for property crimes, 'minor assaults-, and theft. They are fine with these things as long as it only majorly affects other people.
@@mrjones4249 And what we see in this video is the result of their goofy and ridiculous policies. As long as the citizens continue to vote leftist democrats into office this will continue. Because the citizens and city leaders are still blaming Trump and the White supremacist MAGA Republicans.
No the merchants just leave not worth the effort to fight. Soon the city by the bay will just be one big homeless camp filled with crack heads run by gangs You people on the west coast are real nut cases. You got exactly what you asked for now enjoy it!
Because that’s the solution to every American problem, just sue someone, anyone! 😂
Wow, interesting solution, so how many solicitors and lawyers doe the US have, and how many would it need, to clean up the streets of all the Gotham Cities in your country?.@@aiaesthetics1124
For those that don't know, majority of the footage shown is in the Union Square area in downtown San Francisco. The place to stay away if you are a tourists is the Tenderloin district. Sadly, Tenderloin district (which is next to the Union Square area) has been the hotbed area where the drug addicts, homelessness and crime happens on a daily basis.
Absolutely 100% True!! You made an excellent point!! Thanks for pointing that out too... I was trying to be careful and didn't film the Tenderloin. Maybe I'll make a video about the Tenderloin next time. Be very aware of your surroundings if you ever pass by the Tenderloin! This district is couple blocks north of Civic Center.
The mission district is next! The city is bussing homeless into the mission now
Did you mean in instead of is? And yeah hot bed in one area but people travel. By foot, bike, car public transit. If you are in a city with crazies they are not that far.
@@Mattology1 San Fran is a shit hole
I stayed at Hilton Parc hotel just a few months ago (April 2023). I believe that is Tenderlion district. I didn't see any crime. There were homeless just like the rest of California. Lots of shoppers and tourists, did I miss something?
Wonderful!
I remember being in Haight Ashbury in 1968 (vaguely)😅. We were perfectly safe any where.
This is so incredibly sad, not to mention embarrassing. How can a city like San Francisco have fallen in this way?
Socialism
Politicians and wokist nonsense.
treachery at all levels of government. Cheers
And now he's doing it to the state....
Democratic Socialism
All politicians responsible for the lawlessness should be sued by the people and the businesses...
...and processed by the very same judges which are part of this debacle?
I miss the beautiful, classic San Francisco Downtown.
How quickly a city can decline when Law and Order stop operating! Blame local government 🤬
How in the name of god could they let this happen to the city. What were they thinking? A great city like San Francisco and you let it go to waste! This is unbelievable and unacceptable! Someone needs to take control!
So true. This is so sad. This was the city of my birth and my family lived across the Bay since the 1940's. My aunt was my last living relative in the Bay area and when she died in October so did my final ties to California. I now live in Washington state and am embarrassed to say that I came from California. Hopefully, Washington will not fall to the same demise
These cities with their endless roads and buildings are basically wastelands, whether stores are open or closed.
I live in San Diego county, the majors here are trying to get a half million signatures to repeal the proposition 47 which give the criminals a free range to smash and grab the business, other counties in California should do the same thing, together we will take our state back and make it great again.
The democrats want to destroy it and build a 15 min city with zero freedoms. They think they'll take the land for themselves. People in SF need to wake up and stop voting Democrats. Dems are TRAITORS always have been. They HATE AMERICA. They want Americans DEAD.
@@Charles-bz8pxno way because y'all keep voting for Democrats
I live in Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley...and very soon, the same thing is going to happen here. Stores are being robbed by mobs, brazenly in the early afternoons.
Restaurants are broken into, after hours and robbed.
Without enforcement, without containment or deterrents...you get what we have.
Decent, law abiding people have to stay contained.
And the law breakers are taking over everything and making life hard for everyone else.
Dont worry, the world needs a few round of sanctions and loans to IMF and then your country will be beautiful again.
Welcome to Gavin Newsom's California. He is the king of ridiculous.
You should have gotten out already - unless you're a Democrat, in which case please stay right where you belong. California is death.
@@estellepatella2520he is the biggest jerk like Joe Biden. Why people had to vote for these jerks, I just don’t understand.
It's happening all around the once "great state of california". It's the liberal dimocrat "non"government that is the problem.
I used to live there from 08 to about 2014. It was still a decent place by the time I left. Sad, I have so many amazing memories there.
Good this need to happen!! ❤
Once the gem of California. A destination for the world.
That was a very long time ago. I was born there in the mid 50's when it was truly a great and beautiful city. I left in 2001. Went back for a visit in 2015 and didn't recognize the place!!!!!!!!
You see the same situation in downdown Portland. Store after store has their windows covered with plywood. How can anyone expect a buisness to remain open when a group of people without morals, ethics, or decency are allowed to rob at will anyone or anything they want?
Vote Democrat, you directly cause this to happen
Tanks to the black community
Portland/ Oregon or Portland/ Maine?
@@Mike-qo4kpand vote GOPb to stay a slave of the big companies. You have the choice between pest and cholera.
Duh govment?
San Francisco did this to themselves!! I love it.
What's the difference between San Francisco and Detroit San Francisco is much colder in the summertime
I lived in San Francisco when it was a completely different city. It use to be a pleasure to dress up and go downtown to shop. My grandmother worked at the old City of Paris store accross from Union Square, and my mother worked at Gumps on Post street. All those classic places are now long gone. Sorry to see the once great City by the Bay in such sad shape. The City needs a better mayor and new civic government!!!!!!
What did Forest Gump say, "Life was like a box of chocolates."🤣
Majority voters there smugly and proudly voted for this, they can all burn down with it.
I lived/worked there 1970-72. I recall City of Paris closing.
@@Spucky50 Yes closed like so many other great places in San Francisco. City of Paris, Fox Theater on Market street, and Playland at the beach!!!!!!!! 👍
@@Spucky50Became Neumann-Marcus, and kept the rotundra.
Stores are now slowly leaving downtown Chicago too. Not as bad as SF but it’s something to keep an eye on
SF business owners are smarter than the ones in Chicago, or they can afford to move. It is CRAZY for these politicians to NOT SEE what they are doing.......
I was in Chicago last week, I found the downtown vibrant, clean, a wonderful first time experience! I plan to return.
@@user-ho3dk4pg8y I’ve been visiting Chicago once a year for the last 20 years, so I can tell you without a doubt that stores are starting to leave. Anyone can also look it up and see for themselves. However yes, it’s still a nice downtown at this point and I will continue to visit as we always enjoy it as well. I didn’t say that it’s terrible…I said that it’s something to keep an eye on
I’d be out of that Hellhole way before now!!
Here's a fun game: What do Mayor Lightfoot, formerly of Chicago, Mayor Breed of San Francisco & our supreme co-leader Kamala Harris have in common?
Good job, nusum.
My last time visiting San Francisco was in 1987, i went back to lake Tahoe to ski in 2003, but never did the drive back to San Fran and wouldn't go now.
I was just there on Friday. We got to SF, went to park in a public parking lot and what does my son and I see? Men pulled up in a car with tinted windows and one jumped out with a ski mask on and looked inside the van. Thankfully, they didn’t see anything and the guy got back in the car and they sped off. This all happened within 30mins of being in SF. The hype is real with # of car break ins. It’s sad
It sounds as if those men needed counseling and help dealing with climate change.
@@mrjones4249Good one hahahaha
@@mrjones4249 I'm from Detroit, we know how to counsel such people.

I went to school in SF early 2010's and I remember always being so overwhelmed with how many different stores and restaurants there was everywhere, all the people and music and life. I wanted to just experience it all. So sad most of it is all gone.
Thank liberal democrats
Not just SF but Oakland, Berkeley, and San Jose look like business ghost towns as well.
It will come back some day.
So sorry School days are over man real life comes after school, welcome to realistic world be ready to be better person everyday, dont loose hope, just feel the changes
@@RakeshJoshi-ln2cn lol what? This isn’t a case of “things seem different when you’re older”. There’s been actual changes in the city
You would not catch me shopping there even if they were open.
I left my heart in San Fransico while station out there before going to Southeast Asia 😢😢😢🎉😂 its a hard thing to let go! I never would have dreamed this is what would happen to the city by the bay😮😢😮❤😢❤
It's very sad and horrible to see many stores closed their doors due to uncontrollable lawlessness. When this madness will come to an end or else will make it to a third world environment.
Don't come to them rural poor counties it's even worse, already third world.
its by design
The lawlessness isn't uncontrollable. It can be controlled by an administration willing to do it.
It's called SOCIALISM. Enjoy it! 😂
It’s perfectly communist But they had to use the gangs and crack babies yo do this I mean it’s North Korea without the poverty no business so guess that’s not too far in the future for those that can’t leave or multi task
This is happening to big cities all over the country. And people still vote in the same lame politicians.
It's the master-plan of the WEF and New World Order. And it seems to be working.
NYC, LA and Chicago aren't this bad!, But your right, republican states like Texas, Florida and Nevada are booming
@@danielr3661 Not in Austifornia, TX
@@ruel1072 Austin is growing alot, alot of companies are moving there and i think the homeless crisis is now under control with the new law that bans public camping, let's just hope it doesn't become the new SF
Its worldwide all by design. Goverments are rotten everywhere
I remember when i first watched the movie as a child ( very early 1980s) *The Birds* was set in San Francisco. I remember Pipi Hendron driving her motor car through the mountains by the sea. I was always so fascinated by that beautiful view. Since a child I always dreamed of goin there one day.
Was in Bodega Bay 10 years ago for a get-away weekend and there was a sign saying Tippi Hendron is here, signing her autograph. Stood in a short line and got her to sign an 8 by 10 glossy with her and Hitchcock. She drew flying birds in the photo- Ha! Still beautiful , aging but still slender. She was 84 then, and happily is still with us at 94.
@@davidcawrowl3865 How interesting. Thank you for sharing that.
How could a once vibrant city end up like this? I loved coming down from Portland and spend a weekend w/ my husband exploring that vibrant city.
Portland and SF are now twin sisters, same leadership, same problem.
Similar situation in a lot of towns and cities in the UK. Companies cannot afford to pay the high rents and increases.
The rents aren’t so much the issue, with so many empty shop units around it’s actually easier to negotiate better rates but business rates and other costs are the issue and of course on-line shopping which is slowly decimating the high street.
I watch UK news everyday.Yes. our 1st cousin's across the pond are living their own dystopian daymare😢
When law and order is not enforced at street level then the City dies very quickly
Lose money!!
I've been working abroad for several years now and I was shocked coming back for a visit to SF just how many problems it had. It's so hard to believe that the place I grew up in turned so bad and at the same time still be too expensive to live in.
If San Francisco was in another country there would be a travel advisory warning people that they would be in danger there!
exactly. It is abject poverty canvased by excess wealth. There are still some nice parts but for the majority of down town, it is like a zombie movie.
Same thing when we went back to our home state of Oregon for a visit. Looks like Beirut.
Just thank far Left Democrat wokist rule at every level.
really these f*n Democracy & Democrat's took a shyt on the country, is not Sanfransico the whole country going down, specially since that mother father in the white house with his KAMALA crap made everything worse & show the truth about democracy is..if this shyts & democracy continued u cant even walk in streets anymore is gonna be like 3RD world country like Venezuela, f*n million & billions goes to Immigrants and Ukraine every month , instead taker of these homeless , inflation & Security , if this is call Democracy then i piss on it & cant believe how dumb ass people still VOTE for these mother fathers just mind Boggling how f*n Dumb can be!
This video just popped up in my 'feed.'
I live in London UK, and first visited SF in 1971, yes, I'm an 'oldie!'
I had relatives who lived in the suburbs, and they gave me 4 days to remember. I fell in love with the city there and then. This was my first visit to the US, and I was there for 3 weeks, staying with a friend who had emigrated to LA, but it was SF that 'stole my heart.' I made many visits there subsequently, and never got tired of visiting this beautiful city. Nothing can destroy the views.
My last visit was Oct. 2001 staying for 3 mths. I cannot believe what has happened. I'm just so sad. Hopefully perhaps there will be a way, for this city, that still has my heart, to return to its former glory.
"Oh Joey, you've done such an Awesome job, and having you and your team back for another term would be sooo Awesome !!!"
Who’s crazy enough to open a business in a district where lawlessness is encouraged? There must be a way to fire politician in office that are not doing their job. After all, we the people hired them and paying for their salary. This is madness!😱😱😱
BUT I don't know what Spirit of Cowardiness went inside the AMERICANS these days that They just allow EVERYTHING to be done to them and are Acting as if they would be in NORTH KOREA. Seriously!!! Americans have always been Loud Mouths and "Tough" and NOW what??
Business is already hard. Why would anyone want to worsen the odds of their survival.
Mayor London Breed, great job you’ve done.
I hope every store isn't closed ive been to San Francisco in ,2004 very Beautiful lots of life
I see this and can't believe the politicians in California have allowed it to get to this point by allowing the kind of crime they have!!!! The amount of tax dollars the state has lost must be staggering! What is their ultimate goal???
"Divide and Conquer" says the Communists.
Power and control through some form of socialism. They like it when you're dependent on the government for your safety, food, housing, ect. It's not about the money.
Chaos, then control.
Goal? Legalise paedophilia...
This impact is not even comparable to Maui fire so why they care. There will likely be many more to come, starting in LA.
For someone who went to high school in SF and worked downtown for many years, I’m so sad to see the City at this state. I will always love this City and will always have fond memories but I’m glad I moved out of CA over 4 years ago. Another sad fact is that most of the people committing crimes don’t even live in SF
What is the average age of the criminals in SF ? We have similar problems over here but here are mostly teenage thugs in gangs the government is useless no idea how to get control of them they break into homes steal cars and often there are police on high speed chases the police do their best it's the judicial system that's failing so sorry about San Fran I loved that city when I visited many years ago always felt safe there hope it gets back to the old days soon
@@robyngreliche7603 It's WEIRD how in EL SALVADOR ONLY ONE MAN Changed everything; after Many of useless Politicians that said that they Couldn't, but ONE MAN came in Power and FIXED the PROBLEM and Quickly too, and Now Honduras is following his formula to CLEANUP and ENDING the CRIMES & VIOLENCE. EL SALVADOR and HONDURAS Two of the MOST DANGEROUS NATIONS in the WORLD and far LESS MONEY than SAN FRANCISCO and they are ENDING THE NIGHTMARE and making their Countries SAFE and livable; IF IT WAS DONE in other places; it CAN BE DONE in the USA; but in the USA Americans only complain but DO NOTHING. Of Course if they TRY to Do Something; they are the ones that get arrested for BEING GOOD CITIZENS. Of Course.
I will always love San Francisco, too...and this is what happens what a mighty, rich country loses its sense of proportion and bows down to the corporate dollar before putting human well-being first.
@@anaiis_sallesit's what happens when society becomes too pussified to treat criminals like the subhuman trash they are.
This is due to the California governor and SF Mayor. Its heartbreaking and frustrating. San Francisco is a jewel box of a city , a beautiful, historical and atmospheric city. I hope with a new administration she will recover
It’s called “build back better”!!
Good to see an free thinker. This is all deliberate.
When a major city that everyone knows like San Francisco has a giant mall that is dead empty without a single store inside of it, there's something very wrong...
Seriously, that is NOT "normal".
A dead mall with no stores in it is something you find in a place that thinks it's a "major city" but isn't really that big like Florence, Alabama not San Francisco, California. This city is not small by any means, it's got a huge problem if it's like this...
I worked in SF for a long time, I think the problem is a lot of shop lifters, homeless people, it is dirty and the local government should change.👎🏾🇺🇸
Its the amish.the savages >:v
I still can’t believe people would sabotage themselves like this….
cost of living is messing up the middle class. it's tough out there if you aren't rich, you are poor, basically. no one can afford rent, there aren't enough well paying jobs, it's really just gonna get worse. rich get richer, poor get fentanyl and overdose.
commies all
Here it comes!
It's only a matter or time before Macy's department store and the Apple Store closes at Union Square. If that happens, downtown San Francisco is *DONE* .
I wonder if Macy's and Apple own those properties...
According to the headline EVERY store is closed, if that were the case Macys and Apple would also be closed. So clearly not every EVERY store is closed.
@@1975brett I would characterize that statement as premature as opposed to inaccurate
Macys is closing too.@@1975brett
The combination of leniency on theft charges,as well as online shopping is hurting so many people.
Online shopping did NOT do THIS !! DEMOCRAT GOVERNMENT's "SOFT on CRIME Policies" did THIS !
go biden
Online shopping is safer
@@likegemael I’m curious. Are there any Republicans standing around during these thefts not doing anything but taking videos or possibly just watching?
Lol online shopping isn’t killing retail. People want to get things the same day they buy them, try clothes on, go out and do something etc. it’s the retarded ghetto hood trash that shoplifts instead of getting a job and no one doing anything about it
I remember being in downtown SF in 2011. This was a real downtown shopping district. At that time NYC, Boston, Chicago and SF had proper downtown shopping. It seems like San Francisco is going through massive crisis. Well in 2012 I already experienced some homeless people on sidewalk once stores closed at 7/8PM. Now it seems that shops are long gone but not the homeless crisis.
it's looks more retail banks grocery markets. some restaurants are probably still open. but locations of Starbucks and many will eventually announce closures.
😢SORRY TO HEAR THAT! THIS AREA WAS A HIGHLIGHT TO VISITING SAN FRANCISCO. BEAUTIFUL AREA. HOPE IT COMES BACK TO IT'S OLD DAYS 😢. BLESSINGS AND LOVE TO ALL.
When it becomes republican ran.
NEVER BE BACK AS LONG AS YOU IDIOTS KEEP VOTING DEMORAT , WILL GET WORSE.
Exactly right!@@philomenosupotanio1636

It won’t be back because other countries are sending all their drugs here to make our people zombies in the United States, and we are going to become a third World country.

I grew up going to SanFransico , it was all ways a fun place to go, i was there about 6 months ago,, it was so sad, the homelessness and decay was everywhere, we was suposed to stay there overnight no way was i staying there we left and drove the 250 trip back home, sad
Good work, Comrades, job well done!
I am so sorry that beautiful downtown SF is going through changes. I have visited SF three times and I loved it! I always made it a point to stay in hotels near the Wharf. I loved Market Street, Union Square, Golden Gate Bridge and park etc. The people that I met in SF were kind and extremely helpful as I am a disabled Army veteran. Since I must rely on my walking cane to assist in walking, when I asked for directions on how to get back to the hotel, all of the cashiers, police officers, cable car operators, tram operators went above and beyond to make sure I was safe. They also walked with me to the area I needed to be in order to get the right transportation back to the hotel. The last year that I visited SF was 2011. That being said, I left my heart in SF and I am grateful to all the kind people who assisted me, an old broad. 😊
Thanks for sharing 👍

Wild wild west reawakened
As a Canadian 🇨🇦, I predicted since the late '90's, that at sometime in the near future, (which is around anytime soon); that Civil War would break out in the States! I still believe it!, and documented videos of eroded city centers like San Francisco and downtown LA are proof of what is just around the corner.....War in your own country!!! So very sad and shameful😢😢😢
Many stores that have closed are being repurposed and integrated with new city technologies as part of broader smart city transformations. This includes transforming retail spaces into tech hubs, community centers, or mixed-use developments that incorporate smart technology for improved energy efficiency, connectivity, and services.
Anyone who still cannot see what is going on in this world truly is a lost soul !
Right you are, it’s not only about SF, it’s the transformation of the whole world which is being underway!
Please…stop voting for Democrats to run your cities! You don’t see these problems in Florida!
Amen
All those places my family used to visit. Lots of memories. We don't go there anymore.

@@andysworld47 This isn't a mall closure. These are store closures due to rampant theft and crime. Even without the theft, SF is too dangerous and disgusting for many people to feel safe shopping there. SF has turned into a toilet.
@@andysworld47don't be dense. This is way more than stores closing in malls. It's the result of many years of incompetent and corrupt far left politicians
@@andysworld47
Not in my area or many other republican cities that I do business and have properties in.
Lived near San Francisco in the 80s and hosted my mother and my sister for a few days in the late 80s. Mom was a shopaholic and us kids tagged along as she visited all the huge department stores that someone from a rural, northern Pennsylvania town had only seen in pictures.
I always considered San Francisco to be THE MOST COSMOPOLITAN city west of the Mississippi River. How sad that like many once great cities, retail stores have been forced to leave downtown. Retailers are the lifeblood of a city.
40 years later and even some of those small Pennsylvania towns have trader joes and such. I can say this with confidence as someone living in western PA. Guess the western USA is finally starting to fail and the eastern US is finally starting to recover.
This is what the people of SF voted for. Now that it's a giant homeless encampment the voters will still just keep voting (D). It's an illness.
It’s now the most deserted city west of the Mississippi. So it seems.m
Trader Joes ? A chain grocery store ... Ok😂 Trust me, the west is not "falling". Social media isn't the place for economic information either. Enjoy your winter this year and be safe! Or come to Vegas, Santa Barbara, Phoenix.. and enjoy the sunny western days🌴🌞
🍻cheers
NEPA and the Willpo region all the way man. Its still safe and friendly here for now… not all places but a good chunk.
Ok gurl. Lots of places have this issue through out the country. It's nit just SF. And Cities change all the time.
So sad. It's tough to see😢
Someone said:
There is no more stealing, no more robbery and therefore no crime.
The new law really eliminates stealing and robbery because there is nothing to steal and to rob.
LOL.
Klause Schwab said we will own nothing and be happy.
With SF leading the way.
They voted for this
They made laws decriminalizing anything stolen under $1,000 I think so that’s why the official crime rate went down.
No capitalism, only the government will provide you with what THEY think you need...communism

A two party system where both turds are filled with supperrich neo aristocrats has nothing to do with democratic free votes. Keep blaming your neighbor instead of your own inaction.
Until law and order prevails, nothing will improve. Yes, I like your comment about "better things to do than repair roads in front of empty stores."
thanks again voters
Looks like lots of indoor living for some of the people from the south. They'd probably appreciate it. Good luck!
About time.
I have acquaintances that just moved to Illinois. They got tired of having their cars broken into, violent drug users, homeless people.. the law in SF protects the low life’s more than the decent people who struggle for quality of life!
Chicago isn't that far from anywhere in Illinois. Just saying.
Man-o-man! what a sad sight! Lawlessness NOW rules the day!I was born & raised in the Army-Navy projects. Soon after World War II had ended, the Army & Navy barracks were opened to the low income families, especially families moving from the southern & Eastern regions due to the work opportunities which became available and also allowed other minorities to settle in California, for a BETTER life style, which it did open up, but to see it at its PEAK and now what it has become, man its NOT the fun place that people claimmered for & so wanted to be apart of, so sad. Those were the days my friend I though would never end, but sadly The days have come upon ALL! Short commentary of the place which stimulated MY crazy imagination..
The United States is systematically being destroyed from within with a war based on class envy and hatred of anyone who is successful as the socialist liberal democrats ensure everyone shall suffer equally in their misery created by their hatred of wealth and prosperity.
If you're going to san fransisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.
I watched Vertigo made in 1958 the other night . I wished I could go back in time to San Francisco then . I have visited that once great city many times but wouldn’t step foot in it again . Tragic
Was just there in June and there were plenty of stores and restaurants open. We had a wonderful time!
We got married in San Fran 2017 downtown. We flew in forty people for the wedding. All of us were shocked how disgusting this town is.
Lmao best wedding ever. Imaging being a muritard living in murica and not marrying on the niagara falls
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Yous da stoopid HajarBugatta!!!
Diz iz political, yo. Close da borders yah an' diz shitz crazy yo. Never trust homeless yah, especially when days in da pack! We wuz in dat hood and dem alcoholics, days surround me ands tooks mah wallet and I hadda walk alls dah way home, and nobody help me tah get there!!! I fukkin-fakkin slappa yo arse wit da wet spaghetti okay.
I was also there in the fall of 2017 and it was totally disgusting
Hey!,I remember that one...,yeah,...and oh hey!,remember the drunk fat chic that took on all the caterers in the back....,man she was hotttt!...,and oh yeah...how about that "live" DONKEY show?,....that old woman knew how to throw a party...
my friend visited san fran, he said stores still open!
Very sad that a vibrant city of SF to have thousands of tourists are substantially diminished and shops in Market already closed and gone.
Rochester, NY is starting to have the same problems. Not as many homeless, due to the severe winters, but plenty of abandoned houses filled with squatters, prolific drug use, lots of guns(even children have them)& neighborhoods that not even the police will go into unless they go in numbers.
Store personnel have been instructed by management not to apprehend shoplifters, due to gun violence. Therefore, people simply pick up things and walk out - no consequences. Many stores now keep nearly all of their merchandise in locked cases, especially drug stores. Others only allow a handful of people in at any given time - and I mean a handful...like 5.
My sister lives on the outskirts, with her son and his wife,& they have a rule that nobody goes anywhere out of the house after dark unaccompanied. Not only that, but he programmed my sister's phone to give an audible warning if she is getting too close to a bad area...and there are more than one. Scary. And the racial hatred is phenomenal. There are even grocery stores you need to avoid; if you are not a person of color, you WILL be harassed,& very possibly attacked outside the store. If you fight back, you can be charged with a hate crime.
I'm sure this will spread to other states as well. There may come a day when it will no longer be possible to live in America.
Please…stop voting for Democrats to run your cities! You don’t see these problems in Florida!
Keep voting in Democrats and it will happen @@toto-sy8ow
I live in Rochester and work downtown. Nothing you said is correct. If you take a walk down main street you'll actually see new restaurants opening. Our grocery stores are fine. Our gun issues resides mostly with gang on gang violence. I have never felt unsafe walking downtown.
Look at the FACTUAL crime stats in Rochester it sa disaster @@andrew5207
I lived in the South Bay area for many years in 80s and 90s and I would take my family to "the City" on day long mini-vacations several times a year. It was always fun and diverse.... beautiful views, good food, culture, shopping, doing touristy stuff. I even had some action, being in the military, in 89 during the earthquake, and collapse at the Bay Bridge.
Now, I'm sad to say, I wouldn't consider stepping foot in San Francisco. I've even left California for the same reasons... the stupidity of governance and cost of living in the area.
Burlington VT same thing, downtown Boston Quincy Market, same thing... Closing stores...
i've been living for30 years in sf, there was good shops in down town. i hope city will not be a ghost town some day.
I’m so sad. I lived in San Francisco from 2000 to 2020. I had a lot of wonderful memories and I still miss San Francisco so much. I can’t believe that San Francisco changed like that….
Please learn your lesson and stop voting Democrat in the next place you fled to. Stop spreading misery with your cult.
You voted for this.
San Francisco has turned into what New York (Manhattan) used to be. Run down, dirty, closed stores, drugs, crime and just a sad sight to see. I grew up in SF and it's heartbreaking seeing my city in this condition.
Manhattan messed up 2
New York is now as bad or worse than what it was in the 80 and 90s before Giuliani took office. Liberals policies are destroying the country. :(
Wait!
How New York used to be?????
LMFAO!!!!
The company i used to work for lost a lot of jobs because of these store closures. Construction basically stopped. The company had to downsize more than 3 times laying off a lot of people.
When all the stores close it is the beginning of the end ,the glue that keeps everything together starts falling apart and the economy goes down the plughole and people with money start moving out.. Very Sad watching this from Ireland.. Praying for you all and your once Beautiful city.
San Francisco was once a beautiful, vibrant , energetic city. It is virtually a ghost town these days. Sad how those in government/in charge have abandoned her 😢
Lol😂
I don't think it's abandoning. It's what the democrats want. And when the problem rise. they don't want to solve it or do the harsh punishment. They give homeless junkie/dealer criminals more rights than tax payers and residents.
What happened? Where did they go?😮
I passed through their in the Haight / Ashbury days of "free love." All those 'hip' folk now run that city govt.
