      The city comprises many unique neighborhoods .. speaking for myself, I generally avoid downtown because of the traffic and lack of parking (not that the neighborhoods provide that much more parking). If downtown is to bounce back, it would be via people having a reason to go downtown. First are the office workers .. will we go back to in office or continue trend of remote? As the city grows beyond SOMA to Mission Bay and beyond, should the old office buildings in the heart of the Financial District be converted to residence? Bring back foot traffic, crack down on shoplifting, and the shops will return. When the shops return, there will be reason for tourists to hang around downtown. I will still avoid downtown tho except to visit Yerba Buena Gardens and the museums.

    • @austinklar
      @austinklar  4 месяца назад +1

      @@tyberius95 You're right that a lot of what happens to SF down the line depends on what happens with downtown. I think return to office is already happening, but will take many years to get close to what it was pre-pandemic, and in-office may never return to pre-pandemic levels. All for office conversions, but really hard to do that financially and physically, so it is unlikely in most cases, but there are some examples moving forward in the City.

      There is a huge difference between building those bridges and the redevelopment of Stonestown. Stonestown started out as a 1-story open air mall that died. It now is a jam packed mall with 3 times as many stores. Adding 3,500 housing units and parks will take a ton of coordination. It also sits on 19th Ave, probably the busiest street in SF.

    • @austinklar

      Much smaller population wise than Manhattan, but larger geographically. Manhattan is way more dense housing wise.
      Average weather is 60s usually. Some areas near the ocean are colder. Areas near the central waterfront typically warmer. Hottest it gets is 80s and that’s very rare. Maybe a few days a year.
      Only a few sub areas of SF are dangerous. 95% of the city is fine and nothing like what you see on the news. Stay out of the TL, civic center, Bayview, parts of the mission. Otherwise you’re fine.
      Specific areas similar to B Hills are Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff and St Francis Wood

    So this is interesting because from what we just learned that the employment data was basically falsified so there’s no new jobs, you’re talking about the revamp of these retail stores when the cost-of-living and things like gas are too high, where they’re pricing out service workers. What service workers do you think still live in San Francisco or Oakland because they’re gonna have to commute and if they don’t feel safe to park their cars, or take bart . Or are you hoping that students will be the new service workers,
    So maybe the tech workers going to be doing this part-time? Also, the fact that a lot of the homeless services have been falsified by the city and the state, and the growing problem of the homeless is still there ,
    even though they’re doing encampment sweeps the homeless people have nowhere to go. I think you’re trying to set up people for a fake dream that’s not gonna happen.

    • @austinklar

      Also, employment options right now are just terrible everywhere.
      You've mentioned global issues like they are ONLY in the Bay Area.
      How about we extend BART down from Walnut Creek to Dublin/Pleasanton or Richmond to Vallejo? Why not start electrifying the last legs of CalTrain (San Jose to Gilroy)? Expand bus systems in their respective regions so people can start using their car less? Make clipper easier to obtain outside of BART? All these so we can also fix our damaged rodes?

    Even if you WANTED to use public transport, you have to deal with the smell of piss, drug zombies, and the occasional groping.
    The small group of SF activists dedicated to making cars illegal, keeping as many homeless druggies off the streets as possible, and refusing to reduce regulations for small businesses is killing the city.

    Ah, a real estate agent doing what he does best, put a spin on the neighborhood, paint the walls, do a set up and sell a dream based on an imagery that was SF in its glory days. I totally understand the need to resurrect this once clean, safe, affordable, and cultural city. You can’t sell SF as bouncing back from its current derelict self with fast talking, fast paced glorification videos, while at the same time on-line “SF poop maps” are giving serious warnings to potential visitors. I just completed a cross country train trip that included many large iconic cities. Yes, they all have their set of problems but none like those of SF and believe me, the word is out on just how bad this city has fallen from grace. The main factors are, serious crime, robberies, theft, businesses leaving on mass, homeless and crazy people on fifty streets, boarded up empty buildings and a general feeling of unease and lack of safety on the streets. Hopefully, with a new leadership for this beleaguered city, it will bounce back based on the current reality of what is and not on a reality based on denial of how bad things really have become. When I was flying back to SF from Boston Logan airport, people going to another city at an adjoining gate got mixed up with my departure gate. The airline employee upon separating our two groups announced to everyone in the concourse, “Don’t get in the wrong line. Besides, who wants to go to San Francisco anyway.?” Many people in that crowd responded, “no one!” And there lies the undeniable reality. Pretty parks may not fix the problem but getting rid of the human waste on the streets might be a “step” in the right direction.

On top of that, up until recently, you couldn't build anything other than a single family house in most of the city.

      BTW, price per foot of SFR up 12% since 2019. You're right about condos/multi--that market city wide is soft. But if you take out the areas near downtown, it's a different story. Depending on the district, they've appreciated. In any event, the comparison to 2019 doesn't really indicate whether a market is rebounding. If the price of Bitcoin was $100,000 in 2019, and then crashed to $20,000 in 2020, and then was $30,000, $50,000, $80,000 and $90,000 each of the next four years, clearly a rebound. That's what's happening with housing. The peak was mid 2022, and since it corrected, prices are up. Sale price for SFR up 7% Q2 2024 v. 2023; sale price up 6.3%. PPF up 3% same time period. Condos, again, different story, going to take longer to correct. But even compared to the same time last year, up 6.3% PPF, 3% average sale price. We'll see what happens with AI and other offices. It's not going to stay dead forever--pricing is too attractive.
