    Our economy is struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

      With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.

      All sounds good but #3, which is ridiculous. First, your proposal would sound like you are saying we should jail homeless. If you want to send them to a shelter don't send them to a prison area. For example, send them to some open area outside Fresno. Second, homeless who do go are not going to stay.

  • @Arzalons
    @Arzalons 3 месяца назад +8

    The reason union square turned into a ghost town is because wages are low, housing prices are through the roof, and layoffs are happening in TECH and slowly going into other industries. Tourists are sick of seeing the homeless everywhere and there is human remains ALLLLL over the city now. Being from SF in my opinion fixing the economy does not start with reopening these stores, there’s a why everyone fled… fix the housing and workforce side of the economy FIRST

      Yes NYC is back. Things were bad in 2021 and even most of 2022 but now after late 2023 it’s business as usual. Their vacancy rate is at 15 percent but that’s mostly due to old office buildings being vacated. In newer office buildings vacancy rate is 5 percent or less and more office space is being built and leased. Hudson yards is booming. Crime is down and in free fall. Inflation is a problem but that’s been the case nationwide. You see a lot less of homelessness. The only major issue in NYC right now is the migrant influx and the rising hotel rates.

    And how about asking some more interesting questions? WHY are businesses choosing to come back? Has the city taken any actions to incentivize this? What business in their right mind would subject themselves to the constant break-ins, while paying taxes to prop up the corrupt SF system?

Nicer in ways because now it's not as crowded with childish, bigoted, demanding tourists or a mayor who tells citizens to keep smiling and pleasing because they're just part of the scenery.
    The park on the Transbay Terminal is worth multiple visits. Park Presidio, Fort Funston, Yerba Buena, McKinley Park, on and on... It's all still there in all its glory. Reputation changes with political tides.
    Imagine what it was like during the barbaric Barbary Coast days. This is Disneyland in comparison. Heck, you want D'land, go to D'land. SF is a city, not a theme park.

      Major suck up to London Breed will not get her re-elected in Nov. just look at section between 6th and 7th street on Market corridor . Still large amount of drug users getting high night and day. Mental unstable transients roaming around downtown around the clock. There is no way tourists are not going to notice. With hybrid work continue, downtown will no t recover even they keep convert office space to residential apartments. This city need to get rid of these drug dealers and users first before start to talk about recovery plan
