That doesn’t surprise me in the least. San Franshitco and New York Shitty are competing for the Race-to-the-Bottom Award.

As per an article a read the other day a large hotel management firm recently decided to pull out of two major hotels in Union Square in SF. They cited lower than expected convention center bookings and deterioration of cleanliness and safety. They also mentioned that the move would increase their value. Kinda says it all.

Look I lived in SF for 10 years. It really is a beautiful city, it has a rich history and has been progressively ruined through series of actions and inactions.

The downtown area is flanked by "free-fire zones" that have steadily expanded and engulfed the areas frequented by tourists. Why bother paying attention? Because it will happen in IS happening in many other cities. All the better to prepare a response.
