    I enjoy yall's channel. I absolutely Loved Seattle when I was there in Nov. 2019 and then I also Loved San Francisco when I visited last year. I was able to see the Redwoods and It was just 2 weeks before Covid shut everything down. I had never been to the West Coast before Seattle. Thank y'all for making my day

      Then you should come down to Santa Cruz were all the major forest of Redwoods reside in ben Lomond or Felton or Boulder Creek. There you can see the big redwoods that are even bigger then the ones in this video some older then christ himself.

      @@GeminiDiscover I never seen you drive through the whole length of Market Street or China Town or between Townsend and Bryant or Under any of the main over passes of freeways. Just look at all the news its everywhere. Height and Ashbery is filthy full of people pissing in the doorways crapping in the gutters.

    The reason you didn’t see a lot of crime or tents is because it’s raining and honestly you went on the wrong streets. The reality is crime is way out of control go towards the tourist places Pier 39 or the hotels. There are so many vehicle break ins on a daily daytime basis that there is a 3 month wait for getting your windows replaced at the glass shops. The biggest reason for the crime wave is the prosecutor DA in charge at the DA office is not prosecuting crimes or crimes under 1,000 dollars. District DA chesa boudin is so bad and is not jailing any criminals. Stores are shuttering their doors because they have teams of people coming in literally taking 50 gallon trash bags and shoving all the products off the shelves into plastic bags the walking out of the stores! DA boudin is now being recalled by his 85,000 signatures

      Another problem is some reports making it sound like 'all of SF' is like that, not just certain streets. I've been visiting SF for decades (lived in south & east bay cities most of my life), and only ever saw a few here and there around Pier 39 specifically, but I haven't been there since 2018, and even then it was to show a friend around (too touristy for me otherwise). I have heard there's some big 'tent city' or groups of them around there now, I guess the homeless moved from other areas? My understanding is the homeless population change too much between 2019 to 2021 (although I could not find any recent 2021 #'s)

      ​@@p-forest you are a. bit clueless and can assure you as well as the video footage that is out there all over. RUclips if you look for it to prove and show how bad it really is. Just making a statement of "Visiting" Fishermans wharf or Pier 39 were they clean things up and dont allow homeless people to set up tents doesn't mean you know what you are talking about. Go up and down market street go under the freeway over passes near mission st or go to the end of Vaness near 101 on ramp the chevon gas station people are getting harassed and mugged and homeless spitting on them or throwing things at their cars etc. Go to hunters point or go near 4th and Bryant or Valencia street. Thats speaking on all the filth and tent cities and that barely scratches the surface as you need to go to mission district or between little Italy and market streets also. As for the crime its always been bad and getting worse and recently jumped 150 % and even effecting the clean and watched over tourist spots like Pier 39 or Fishermans wharf with the smash and grabs of people in broad daylight smashing rental cars windows with people standing 10 feet from the car! the hotels are telling people to not use rental cars to come into the cities as they are a major target. A famous Australian singer had his film crew and his own vehicle smashed and grabbed with them standing right by the car in broad daylight! I could go on and on and now look in the last two weeks Whole stores in the Bay Area ransacked and looted in mobs of 20 to 80 people from Oakland. Union square is no longer safe and tourist and locals alike are afraid to shop in Union Square for Christmas. To remind you a famous RUclipsr photographer who does sunset and outdoor landscape photography went to shoot in San Francisco and was followed home 50 miles away all the way from San Francisco to Union city to drop off a friend and then to Fremont to be attacked and robbed of all his photography equipment when he pulled into his driveway at home. So your tale of that its not bad in San Francisco is not a accurate one that goes for tourist and locals alike. Do your research.

    its called the Golden gate bridge because california is the gateway to the gold rush its just a representation of that time so they named it the golden gate bridge the golden state where gold was discovered in america

    The golden isn’t the color of the bridge. It’s named after the Golden Gate which is the entry into SF bay.

    Not bashing the video, just calling it as I see it. This video for covering the Tenderloin and Mission districts are too simple.
    When it showed you next to the Wheel Works on Franklin Street, was thinking that you are getting close to the TL. The issue is that your GPS took you on Van Ness, which is a main street, for passing through SF. They keep that cleaner, but it also acts as a boundary to the TL, which was one block over to the east on Polk Street. If you took Polk Street, Hyde or Jones, your views and reactions would have been totally different. A complete 180. Enough to turn your hair gray.
    As with the Mission, that was South Van Ness. Not that bad. If you took a drive from 17th @ Mission, to 16th @ Mission, you could view the human zoo.
    Also under that freeway overpass you passed through, was bad for months with tents, left and right.
    There are other parts, but will leave it at the places "visited" in the video. The rain had nothing to do with the lack of problems viewed. The camera just didn't film the correct areas.

    The toll station takes a picture of your license plate and they send you a bill in mail. I had some business trips to SanFran. in 1980s. Wasn’t bad then. Great place for jogging. Nice parks outside city to north. Excessive permissiveness on drugs and petty crime.

    The dramatic problem you say you don't see, is the ostentatious weath in that city that you do see.

      It doesn't look wealthy and ostentatious from a pass through. It looks too tight and not too well maintained in most parts

      @@GeminiDiscover you are correct, there is not. It has happened either by design in a way or as a result of how the city is run, you can pretty much do whatever you want with the inside of a building, but changing one aspect of the outward appearance of a building is nearly impossible. Usually it would need to be due to a structural element needing to be added to the buildings for seismic repositioning projects or core and shell egress code updates, additional stairs, elevators etc.. Doors, windows, signs all must stay as original or be rebuilt to original, not replaced. The process for building a new structure in place of older small buildings is about 20 years long before you can start building and is all political, where retrofitting the old buildings is 5 years to completion of the project. This city has also thought that all the roads and sidewalks and other infrastructure that was built in 1850 or there bouts, will last forever without any repairs, and when they do repair the roads it usually involves adding stupid Crap to the problem, and dragging the work out for decades. I have lived here for over 10 years and never seen Van Ness not under construction, and south Van Ness hasn't seen any type of construction in that same period.
