Streets empty, offices emptier. Will the city recover? If so how?
Get rid of the crazy “progressive” politicians and their stupid destructive policies and maybe itll have a chance.
Was in the city the other night and saw tons of people in the bars. Many clubs had people lining up to get in. Nobody asked to see my vaccine card anymore.
Rent is up (by a lot) across the city. Downtown is not really representative of the city health. Just because no one buys in expensive retail stores (so they are closing) or work in the financial district or doesn't mean the rest of the city is not thriving. Whoever owns those buildings need to figure out what to do with them. But that's their problem. I personally couldn't care less.
It’s recovered pretty well. Still a piss soaked shithole with syringes and human feces everywhere, but it seems to be back to pre-pandemic levels in terms of things going on.
There is a ton of data to suggest it hasn’t bounced back. https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/sf-downtown-covid-recovery-17335194.php
the residential real estate market will still remain hot for its weather and scenic views, but the rental market got hit and will remain so for a long time into the future as RTO orders are getting relaxed and companies are looking for cost cutting opportunities.
same with Seattle. DEAD
Oh cmon, it's not that bad
Which question should the poll answer? Title? Text?
You haven’t been to Tenderloin. It’s teeming with activity. Albeit illegal.
What do you mean by empty? There are vagabonds hanging around the town everywhere.
If you are worried about a dead downtown, look in the next big city - San Jose - seems like holocaust and all restaurants / stores have closed and very little work traffic
Went out last Friday night for dinner. It's nothing like before. Places are empty. Service is abysmal. Prices are damn high.
