The politically correct answer. The real reasons are the homeless, drug addicts, filthy streets littered with feces and illegal aliens. Welcome to the future of America.
It amazing, sadly amazing, to see the streets of San Francisco.
The liberals who allow these situations to fester, tend to want a clean environment, support global warming etc.
They want a clean environment, but their liberalism blinds them to the toxic environment resulting from their being so liberal when it comes to homeless and drugs.
Sorry but no, that’s San Francisco not the Bay Area...
The Bay Area is just too expensive period. Has been for decades.
I was in San Francisco about a decade ago and the downtown section and areas to the north & west weren’t dirty.
Downtown Los Angeles in 1987 was an area I didn’t care to be even in the daytime.
It didn’t look this bad when we visited Russia several years ago. Wow.
