Streets by VICE: San Francisco (Market St.)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- As part of our VICE Guide to San Francisco, Streets By VICE: Market Street is a new documentary on one of San Francisco's most iconic streets. Hosted by Karley Sciortino, the episode traces the street's history from its time as the entry point for new immigrants to San Francisco to its rich history at the center of the the gay liberation movement. The episode also tackles everything from the tech boom that has taken over San Francisco to the city's increasingly visible homeless issue. Streets By VICE: Market Street also dives into the Bay Area's history as a hip-hop mecca, sitting down with SF legend Andre Nickatina at the Warfield Theater to talk about the history of Fillmore District.

I live in the SF area, was living in the city for a year. This video has some good history, but it's superficial. Most people just can't afford to live here anymore, and it's been a violent transition that has resulted in tent cities and regular burglaries and mental health crises in public places.
Even when minimum wage goes up to $15, working full time will bring in $2k/mo. A one bedroom apartment starts at $2.5k for students and averages at $3.5k, going up to 6 easily downtown. Income tax is about 10%, parking tickets are $75, GG bridge toll is $7. Small shop owners, renters, artists can't keep up, so they move, but now Oakland is too expensive, and Richmond is next. Where do you go? Idaho?
People can't live like this, and if anyone tells you the culture is just "changing" instead of disappearing, it's a marketing tactic. It's not a friendly place right now, and while the tech boom brought in business, that money doesn't really trickle down to make life better for everyone else. Gang violence has gone down, but the neighborhood vibes are basically gone, replaced with a bland commercialism. Haight-Ashbury is a museum piece. I hope the bubble bursts soon before it's a cultural desert. I am a professional musician. Musicians are making the same wage as they were 20 years ago, and the cost of living has inflated 500%.
Man this shit crazy
Alex Hand Miller it sucks because I live in Daly City and have dreamed of living in the city my whole life, but now I'm not sure if that would be the smartest move.
"I am a professional musician. Musicians are making the same wage as they were 20 years ago, and the cost of living has inflated 500%."
A fellow musician here. Well, I did get my bachelor's degree on Clarinet performance but having a hard time living. I don't live in SF but I live in LA and I just wanted to say that it's hard for artistic types like us because like you said, it's hard to live in the heart of the city because it's so fucking expensive even though that's where all the fun gigs and cultural display is.
So, yeah. Just keep on doing what you do and I'll do what I do haha
It's true it's cheaper in rural areas where there are less gigs, cultural events, networking opportunities, etc, and I'm wondering if there is going to be a mass exodus of creative people to the middle of nowhere like Oklahoma where you can buy a house for $50k. All it takes is a group of a couple dozen artists to "colonize" a neighborhood and start producing art to put online. There are enough artists around here waiting for there to be a cheap and fun place to live where artists can network and do what they do.
Alex Hand Miller It'll be pretty much Burning Man but people actually live and go to work there lol
Andre Nikatina tells it like it is. They could of at least recognized one of the biggest China Town's in the world though.
y
+Robert Haarlem A Chinatown, by definition, is outside of China.
to be fair, chinatown doesn't run through market st lol
jesus123510 neither does Fillmore.
They were too busy push their perverse proclivities to give credence to much of anything worth recognizing.
"That's the craziest story I've ever heard"-Vice reporter referring to a story about a burrito.
Knowing Karley, the burrito is the least crazy story she's ever heard.
"Fluff Piece"
lmao, I was thinking the same thing. She’s a journalist/reporter and that’s seriously the craziest story she’s ever heard, get the fuck out of here with that lie. LOL
@@rev.robertjones1553 who is special needs, i don't get it
Well Imo, that part actually was a perfect example of wealth equality. And how nouveau-riches don't get involved in the fight against it all. While she was trying to talk about homelessness and gentrification and changes in the section of the city, he started talking about how great his burritos were and how somebody flew in just to buy some and flew back on the same day. She said that's effed up, he totally didn't get it. He was clueless. but I understand where she was coming from. So this guy bought the building back in the day oh, good for him. And what if he didn't? He might be on the street with the rest of them. That's why the market without checks and balances leads to terrible things. One of which being large amounts of homelessness.
Major omission from this VICE (Canadian [British Commonwealth]) piece: Asian Americans. Both historically and in the present. Over thirty percent of the contemporary SF population is Asian American.
I was gonna say maybe it's because neither Chinatown nor Japantown borders Market Street, but then they covered Haight-Ashbury so there goes that excuse. Yeah, I can't believe they left out the Asian-American community... such a huge part of SF's history and culture.
mushy85 Not gonna lie, I just read your post twice and I don't really get how any of it pertains to Asian-Americans in SF.
MotionPictureMuse I ain't crazy
so what?
My dad grew up in the sunset (western aves of SF) in the 50's and 60's and there were nearly no Asians living there. Probably a low single digit percentage. Now they make up 80% of the area or more
Hell yeah, that rapper told it straight up. Didn't play the victim card like vice wanted
yeah. that was unexpected
+Astronaut Cult he was real, Vice showed it so I don't think they're to blame exactly
+Astronaut Cult Andre Nickatina keeps it real, I'm sure they edited out most of his other thoughts of his experience as a kid going to Market.
I liked that too
Rent control is the main thing keeping non-wealthy people in SF (public housing and SROs help too). 70% of the city's rental units have it, and most of those residents wouldn't be able to afford the city if their rent was suddenly raised to market rate (which is obviously what would happen if rent control got removed tomorrow. Prices might stabilize or even drop eventually, but before that happens, prices would skyrocket, and working/middle class residents would get evicted at much higher rates). Rent control may not be perfect, but when people talk about getting rid of it, they're basically talking about kicking out half of SF's population.
And don't pretend that it's impossible to make enough money to maintain your property and make a living, without price-gouging people. There's absolutely no reason why an SF landlord should charge $5000 for a studio or whatever, except that they know some rich motherfucker will pay for it. On one hand, fair enough, it's their property. But on the other hand, that kind of greed is destroying thousands of lives, and is pushing out a lot of the residents and things that attracted many people to SF in the first place, while attracting an extra amount of wealthy assholes who look down their nose at the less wealthy locals (that causes some anger, to say the least). It all comes down to what you value most: your bank account, or the community as a whole. Furthermore, SF has had rent control for decades, it's no secret. So if a landlord doesn't like it, fine...go buy a modern building that has no rent control, or go be a landlord somewhere without rent control instead. No one's forcing anyone to own property in SF.
What we need is more housing. A shit ton of it...the lack of an adequate housing supply is the main force behind this bullshit. The tech boom just added fuel to the fire. Jet fuel. Plus some napalm.
"You're not someone who's very resistant to change?"
"You show me someone that can stop it, I'll shake their hand."
His name is Donald Trump get rid of Nancy Pelosi and no Willie Brown School of politics that rules San Francisco and maybe let the police do their job clean up all the drug addict blood pus urine excrement and maybe in 20 years things will change cuz it took 40 Years of liberal policies

"The Fillmore District is another neighborhood with historical low priced housing. After the earthquake, vacant home attracted African Americans..." (4:17)
That's inaccurate; the African Americans moved into the Fillmore District when 5,000 Japanese Americans were relocated to internment camps during WWII. This is an extremely important fact about the Fillmore District that is misrepresented in this video.
The Japanese in the Fillmore were centered in a specific part of the Fillmore, a part not even referred to as the Fillmore anymore. North of Geary, South of California, stopping at around Franklin on the east and Divisadero to the west. They could have mentioned the Japanese influence, but the area I just described is even further from Market street than the other areas they covered that technically arent on or near market. La Taqueria is on 25th & Mission and they reported on it for some reason. Blacks didnt move in after Japanese left, they were here and even more came when houses went vacant.
Yup. That's why Japan Town is right next to the Fillmore.
dburrr: Most black people in SF (and the Bay Area/most of California) arrived during WWII to work in the shipyards, which happened to coincide with all the Japanese people getting kicked out and sent to the camps. SF only had a few thousand black people before WWII.
Fillmore? Shit hole.
punch nazis San Francisco only has 50,000 black people today in a city of 875,000.
I was homeless in SF for 2 years. 90% of the people who are homeless in SF are not displaced residents, they come in from other states. They are from the east coast. The reason being, SF is the only place where you can survive being homeless, they provide everything to you, free free free. Within the first hour of being there i got an EBT card & phone. Free blankets, clothes, even police hand out free cigarettes and food.
People hear about this and think, why the hell not be homeless in SF. Free free free. EZ living, lots of drugs everywhere, plenty of money from tourists etc.
EXACTLY!!!! This is the biggest lie, that most of these people are displaced locals. If you suddenly lose your apartment, you move somewhere else you can afford. You don't just pitch a tent, shit on the street, and start doing drugs. That's not what normal people do. And for the numbers of homeless people in SF, you're basically assuming that's what every single person who loses their apartment is doing.
Lala Baddie bum ass.
Ya im real sure being homeless there is "ez" living😑😑 I'm dieing to get there 🙄😑
I love this honesty and transparency coming from someone who KNOWS what's going on as you lived it yourself. Thanks for sharing from that side.
It's Awesome
a guy who makes burritos without rice is a real burrito maker!
ya well ya know, there's a lot of hype around la taqueria, their burrito's are ok but not so fantastic as everybody says, and to be fair I would rather get mine from el toro or el faro (with or without rice). If i could afford the plane ticket, i would go get a super beef et el toro's right this moment
Thank you for saying this.
I live in NorCal and find myself in San Francisco several times a year for one reason or another. Every time I visit it gets worse and worse.
Shits like living in a corpse, very sad
Why no Asian people in the documentry? Asians population is huge in San francisco...
+Iron Fist good point!
Asian population is huge everywhere dude.
+Open the doors to Rapture they are the race with the most numbers but most of them are in asia they are only like 7 percent of the population in the us
Liberal media outlets don't care for or respect Asian Americans. You never ever see Asian Americans playing the victim card so the left are not interested in their community
They are entitled to be in the conversation 💯
That host woman seems so fake and exaggerates everything..
+Spencer Recor basically the definition of a hipster
+Spencer Recor "SHE's" not a woman..
You know my aunt was born in raised in the mission district and she was able to buy her own home, a single Latina women, and she lives in her home till this day. Bought for $150,000 25 years ago and is not 2.5 mil
This is an incredibly good series. I love walking through city streets instead of just visiting the tourist haunts. This really gives an idea of what areas of the city to walk during my time constrainted travels.
Also, I personally think Mission Street would have been a better choice, not because of it's popularity but because it runs through the entire City. Also, you forgot about Chinatown, which is the oldest in North America. AND the oldest building in the City, Mission Dolores which was founded a month before the Declaration of Independence. I dunno, just dropped the ball on all the other culturally significant things in our beautiful City.
+Jesús Pedroza definitely was far too white. i mean SF has one of the biggest asian populations in the country and they didn't talk to a single asian person!
+Rose E Exactly.. San francisco has the biggest Chinese population in U.S..
Yes, Mission would have been a better, deeper choice, but they went with the obvious.
Geary also runs the length of the city.
Also skipped the Fillmore being a Japanese neighborhood before the WW II imprisonment.
Thanks for uploading this lady's third grade research project on San Francisco, Vice. Quality journalism 👌
Nailed how I felt about it 😂
LOLLL 😂 NAILED IT!! 😅 💪 😎
Lol 😂
If you actually walked through these neighborhoods and talked to random people on the street, you'd have ended up with a much more informative and entertaining. Good score on talking to Diamond Dave though.
+Ben Manton Diamond Dave always rides the 24. He's a bit of a nut job. I remember him once yelling into his cell phone "You're not my girlfriend!"
+Lothar Roberts lol
I don't know, guys, this was a bad documentary. How was the take-away at the end "san francisco is being revitalized by new inhabitants and new ideas" ???
More like SF is being destroyed by techies and other outsiders. How can anyone think of an average price for a burger being $15 dollars as revitalizing? Those of us who are regular people can hardly afford to WORK there, let alone live there.
Vice keeping it consistent with the insufferable hipster hosts.

TheJesseQuintana really, man, u know about the issues this city has had for years but no one says a damn thing 'cause they have to be PC.
No mention of Mac Dre on the Bay Area music part?? damn..
+◯ Advaita WEEEEAAAK
+◯ Advaita these motherfuckers really put LIL FUCKING DEBBIE instead of Mac Dre...you already know some suburban white people put this video together.
Well nickatina was raised in the city. Mac dre was from Vallejo and could be referenced better in Oakland than the city. I still agree he should've gotten mention #Thizzordie
+◯ Advaita did they mention Digital Underground and Tupac? If so, I missed it.
+◯ Advaita that's cause its just about one street in San Fran not the whole Bay Area
7:00 best part of the video. The vice reporter wants the rapper to get upset but he respects everyone out there hustling. 100
That man was a real ass prophet. His views on the survival of the fittest absolutely blew my mind. Lol
I'm surprised vice let that in 😂
That seemed like really short segments on the Mission and Fillmore... No surprise. As a native and current San Franciscan, I disapprove. I appreciate the effort Vice, the cinematography and a couple of the people interviewed were excellent. At least there were some hits instead of it all being a complete miss. You're just still looking through a visitor's eyes in this. Thank you though, and keep up the good work.
It's good tho, bro; we don't want more or ANY hype on the Mission (or S.F) for more yuppsters to be moving in.
Edit: 3 years later, sorry, haha.
Born & raised in SF. This does not live up to my expectations of Vice. The gentleman from the Castro is spot on. The balance is superficial and is not a solid representation of SF today. BTW - don’t call us San Fran, if you must ... “The City” will do.

Good!
@@Pumalate77 Not good, this kind of gentrification sterilizes everything and makes everything lame. And as you can see it makes the homeless problem worse.
@@Pumalate77 scumbag
@@JokersAce0 gentrification makes the drug problem worse for sure, somehow. No evidence to say so though, mostly it’s just correlation and your feelings. Lol
@@Pumalate77 Yeah sure pal. Go to LA and see normal looking people, attractive women, et al completely homeless. No drug problem or anything. Gentrification is trash and a bunch of people move into newly "cool" areas that get that way because of being off the road and inexpensive, then promptly buy up all the places, end up stifling the creativity that made the areas desirable once property values go through the roof. See: Brooklyn, Portland, Seattle, now even Denver.
"omg, this burrito is like, so good."
I love the research and people in this video, but I find it a bit tone deaf that they started it with an ultra-cutesy host treating it like a travel vlog or something. "Let's go check out San Francisco!" -- followed by eighteen plus minutes of depressing talks about gentrification, homelessness, and the growing disparity between social classes in SF.
Wow, VICE has produced such an insightful and well rounded news piece filled with relevant and accurate information - said no one, ever.
They showed a picture of mid-market while she was talking about the financial district. And she says the financial district is undergoing gentrification?! Since when has the financial district NOT been a district full of bankers and financial professionals?
The scenes of tents beneath the bridge overpass ARE NOT scenes of the Tenderloin. That is South of Market. The Tenderloin stretches from Market Street to Post Street and from Mason Street to Van Ness.
Civic Center is technically its own neighborhood.

The greatest thing about San Francisco is the diversity. Most of the video, displays us as a bunch of hipsters and druggies or people who just don't fit the norms of society, but I think we aren't all like that. I have lived here for my whole life and I don't often go to Haight and Ashbury and South of Market. I think we are accepting and cultural and I find it ironic that so many people in this video are against the tech industry. The technology enhances the culture. Wasn't RUclips created in the Bay Area? And without it people wouldn't be able to view this video and see our beautiful city. There were important neighborhoods left out like Chinatown, Japantown, the Sunset, the Presidio and Golden Gate Park.

Heroin, alcohol and lack of mental illness treament is the biggest cause of the violent agressive homeless in SF
chris: I would say that the aggressive ones are more likely to be on crack or meth.
"people who can't afford rent are being pushed into the streets."
umm no, that's not right at all. the streets were full of homeless before. homeless flock to that city, they've been doing it for decades.
Hell homeless people where in the streets during the gold rush.
Yeah the homeless in sanfrancisco aren't people who lived in sanfrancisco and couldn't afford rent any more, the homeless people are druggies from all over the country that travel there.
@@seannaehring4290 - this is true: an influx of Yuppies n Shit-Bums. There have always been alot of homeless here, but since 1999-2000 it's been like a wave of filth that does'nt pull out: stank- rags & stank-money people.😀

Yeah, I arrived full-time in SF in 1990. There was still adult-oriented entertainment on every side of every block. One of the first places I lived at was the Globetrotter's Inn at 225 Ellis at Mason. The building next door to us was an infamous old bathhouse who's name I can't remember anymore but they had painted the sign over but you could read the name through it. That wasn't my cup of tea but it didn't matter because 95% of everything else was just fine. That was before the Internet so if you wanted 'entertainment' you had to go out and get it, and it was there, all of it. It was a great reason to walk the streets of San Francisco and those are some real good memories...
And do you remember a place on Market Street called Fascination? It seemed to be one of these games where you slide the 'puck' forward to get it into the center ring and you got a prize but the whole thing seemed shady. I was far more fascinated by how long they stayed in business.
Homelessness is popular in SF because of the huge amount of money it generates. SF taxpayers spend $80K+ per person per year. It's ridiculous that this amount of money cannot solve the problem, and the bureaucracy wants more and more. As long as there's money in it the homeless "crisis" will continue.
The homeless relief groups actually do just the opposite to help the neighborhood because they have a distorted impression of what they are accomplishing.
Introducing the historical background for each neighborhood is the first mistake in this type of reporting because the general transients of the city has detached it from its past. Interviewing the old guard says nothing about what is on the ground now.
Spent all of the 70’s working in the Financial District. From what I’ve read and seen, it was the best of times!
It was everybody partied together!
This was my era ! The city started changing in the late sixties ...Most of the rock stars left the city or died off or both by the end of the seventies..Gotta stay off the synthetic drugs they will kill you in the end... Peace out and enjoy the wine..
The Filmore in the 60s-70s were full of urban projects, many of them were urban rehabilitation projects. They were drug and crime-infested, hell holes. Then urban renewal and urban gentrification came and now there are 3,000 rents for two-bedroom apartments and $75. parking meter tickets. The homeless have always been in the City but now it's the population has exploded. They are everywhere and even in some of the cities more affluent neighborhoods.
Damn Vice... Dre Dog rarely does interviews. Don't know how y'all pulled that one off.

@Dorian Graye - Thats were Hip-Hop n Rap came from; Dre Dog bein a rapper n all and obviously from S.F. so no need to prove it. We used to wear other hats, jerseys and starter jackets of other teams, simply cause the colors or style. N.Y Yankees was popular in the 80's because most of the Rap was coming out of N.Y, so it'd be in the videos n on the album covers. San Jose Sharks was popular in the early 90's. Nowadays, if you want to do that, one would quickly assume you're from that city; but back then everybody WAS from here so people did'nt question it; die hard sports fans would tho, haha. Now it's like if yer not wearing any S.F shit, one would assume you're not from here. Sorry to respond years later; you probably dont give a rats ass, haha. I just saw this vid for the first time.

i just have to say as someone who has moved around the country a lot that a lot of these folks in san francisco complaining about gentrification, rent costs, etc are really more spoiled then they realize and being quite hyperbolic in their complaints. i'm not saying there's areas SF can't improve on, but generally it is improving on those areas and there are more social programs here to benefit everyone including the poor than anywhere i've ever lived - my family moved here with next to nothing and bankrupt and the city has treated us tremendously well. i dare anyone with any complaints about SF to try to hack it in los angeles or seattle or, hell, most any other major city in the nation. you'll run back to SF crying d-: for any issues it may have, SF has shown a perpetual ability to resolve those issues and solve it's problems. it has the best wages in the country, the best and most liberal social programs, one of the best governments, a transit system that is only rivaled by new york, and is vastly cheaper to ride - i think a lot of these complaints by folks who have lived here for a long time come from a perspective of truly not knowing how good people in SF have it compared to the rest of the country. i feel nothing but positive about the city's future - any small problems now can and will become better years down the road. SF is already way ahead of the rest of the country and by far the most livable place i've ever been.
thanks for your positivity. been living here for ten years and needed some words of encouragement :)
+Lars “B” Amble Alright, and how much is your rent?
tether cheaper than it was in seattle. not to mention transit, healthcare, sales tax, and various other costs are all vastly cheaper here than seattle and most any other major city in the country.

I can't stand this woman, "like, oh my god" the idea of calling san francisco, sao palo or dubai as far as economic friction, i was homeless in the city, the love is long gone
Wow! Once again Vice misses the mark. People and their food and their neighbourhoods, not subculture and people there in. Look for commonality not exclusivity. San Francisco has always been about divergence that manages to mostly get along.
A dab, coffee and Karley in the morning is just fine with me.
This video doesn't depict San Francisco well.
Shout out to everyone's favorite crazy grandpa, Diamond Dave!
"So I've gotta walk through all this shit"
Some things never change in San Fran!
I was born a San Franciscan, I may not live there currently, yet the city will always be in my heart. Someday I will return.
I love the bay, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else
edgar carranza exactly a lot of people like LA. Me I prefer the Bay Area
I'm from there
If this works for you I'm glad for you. Everyone should be so fortunate.
What about now
@@papusa9878 still love the bay lmao
"Diverse". It isn't diverse. SF is too fucking expensive to be diverse
I used to live in a hostel on the corner of market and Polk.
~3:09 That's not the TL, that's SoMa/Potrero Hill. That grey brick building is Costco. I worked for 5 yrs across the street in the white building with the parking lot; Byer California HQ.
please dont come to SF. Thanks -All SFnatives
what about sunny side and the hp.
Excellent piece. I am SO sick of people whining and calling SF a sh*t hole, etc. I moved to SF in 1988 when i was 17 years old and had to move away in 2003 and I would give anything to turn back time and never, ever leave. I definitey left my heart there. Progress and change is inevitable but the one thing San Francisco has that NO other city in the world has is the "something for anyone" non-judgmental freedom.
Hypothetically... If you were a homeless junkie living in the Tenderloin, would you be saying the same thing?
Not anymore
The bay is warm, no rain, sunny, not a dessert, cool breeze. Simply put, the top city in america. The easiest place to live, yet the most difficult.
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities(Berkeley is my other favorite), the steep hills are killer on the calves but that city is worth it. I'm glad I live a short Caltrain ride away 😝
berkeley is awesome! feels more like san francisco than san francisco nowadays.
you must have a great deal of money.
limeginger not really actually 😂 I had to move out of the bay two months ago cuz I couldn't afford it.
me too :)
If only Caltrain worked properly and left according to schedule :/.
Don't get nostalgic, nothing lasts forever. What did the hippies like Diamond Dave ever do for the city? He didn't teach in the schools and help the kids to learn, he didn't sweep the street and pick up the trash, he didn't work in a hospital. Did he ever have a real job?
please do Oakland
isn't oakland a shithole and gangland like chicago
HERRO yea, some parts ig
It has bad areas but every city has bad areas. Oakland, is becoming far more interesting than San Francisco, it has diversity, bohemia and is much more affordable.
@@charlech That's East Oakland, West Oakland, and along International. Most other places aren't bad. In fact, some parts of Oakland like Piemont and Montclair are $$$.
@@ColinYapp Hardly! Rents are almost comparable at this point.
Drop property tax rent will likely drop 40% America has the second highest property tax in the entire world topped only by the UK property tax has a huge affect on rent pricing.
Andre nicky is an analyst, nicky is so scandalous, you might see nicky in his ride rolling up some cannabis!!! BAY AREA LEGEND!!!!
T. Baggins415 I was disappointed in his short sided views on gentrification especially when blacks are down to 3%. Still one of my favorite rappers though
Today, we have the break into your car by breaking your windows to steal whatever we can see movement.
Cry about it
No, just no. Not at all the San Fran I know
exactly
I've been to La Taqueria. It is hands down the best burrito I've ever had.
+Prince Edward haha
Tyler M lol, hey, at least you admit to it. i'm all for people being real.u shouldn't have to sugarcoat shit just 'cause you're white, bro.
+Prince Edward hahaa
The place at 6th and Market is really good too. It's also a great example of how the influx of tech has distorted/raised the cost of food. When I came back in May of 2008 a regular burrito cost $6, now it's almost $10. Still tastes great and worth every penny though.
Curious: all of the Vice Streets i've seen seem to be all negatively impacted in one way or another by gentrification.
+Inflatulation Station How?
