I used to love to travel to SFO. I would purchase a transit pass for a couple of days and ride the old PCC streetcars up and down Market St. Also would ride the cable cars for hours on end.
I got out of SF in 2015 and never looked back. It had been pathetic for years. Mayor Ed Lee especially bent the city over for Big Tech, and the result was interns making $10k/month -- let me repeat that, INTERNS making $10k per month -- competing with lifelong residents still grubbing by on $50k/year. What had once been a more libertarian "hey you do your thing and I'll do mine" was already turning into "you do my thing or else." I am eternally grateful I did not have to suffer the scamdemic there--where I moved to, still on CA coast, was bad enough, but at least I had a plethora of stunning remote outdoor spaces to soothe my furious soul, and small coterie of resisters. I am a 4th gen Northern CA person and regard what they [the Dem/globalist/demonic machine] did to that city as a cultural crime.
Look at San Fransissy. Same thing. Both prime opportunity zones in progress.
Its disgusting. Van Ness in SF used to be one of the most beautiful streets in the world with some of the best restaurants.
Now it's all boarded up and you need a "poop map" to navigate it.
Yet, stupidly the residents wonder why it's like that.

Such a shame such a beautiful city was destroyed.

Also fled the area. Miss the coast but not anything else.
