There is no "golden era" as long as it's so expensive to live and work in the city. When only workers in tech can work there and everyone else is pushed out, and then tech works from home, you will have an empty city. It's simple. The city is too expensive and a mono industry.

Many buildings are empty but the architect wants to build more buildings?? Hmm, something is disconnected here?? I think it depends on who you interview with. As a resident of San Francisco, (I) personally would like to have a safe place, less or no more crime and homeless control from the City more than just Build,, build, and build more buildings. The question is for whom??

We have a state mandate to build more housing in the next 10-20 years or so due to severe housing shortages. All cities in California have been required by the state to increase housing stock and stop creating laws restrictive to development. I think you’re assuming that if we build more housing, we won’t be able to create “safe places, have less crime and homeless control” but it’s not a zero sum game. We can have both safe places, less crime and more housing all at the same time.

@@1970rsc Anyone who is realistic about solving difficult problems recognizes the need to prioritize. It is a zero sum game. There is so much time and so much money. These are precious and shouldn't be treated like they can just be thrown away flippantly. Yours is the attitude that hasn't worked for so long. Get real. Large numbers of poor people don't belong in cities. Higher population density either increases cost of living or decreases quality of life. You can't have both increasing without advances in technology, which itself costs R&D (ie lots and lots of money). SF is better off spending the money helping people get set up with housing elsewhere where it's less congested. The same old solutions you are proposing are a giant failure.

The mad developer dash to build, build, build has actually made housing LESS affordable in the East Bay already. When new housing was being built it was exciting at first. New homes in the community, yay! Then when they started selling them it was like "Wow!! These townhomes with HOA's are priced at around 1 million! Who can buy that when homes in the surrounding community were around 700k? Very quickly buyers who could afford the 1 mil plus price realized that they would rather buy the 700k house, have a yard which most new builds don't have, and no HOA. Immediately homes in the community are all well over 1 mil now. Everytime a new "luxury" building is built the prices go up, up and up. This does not seem to be solving a so called housing crisis. It's also replacing the character of entire regions as they fill up with Borg cube after Borg cube. Apparently Vienna has figured it out without losing its character, wish we could.

@@offensivearch housing isn’t built by San Francisco - it’s built by commercial developers. A new skyscraper on Mission Street doesn’t mean less money for cop salaries because the city pays for cop salaries and construction costs are paid for by developers. So, It is not a zero sum game. SF supervisors need to create more laws to make the construction process go faster or provide tax incentives like mayor lee did. The problem is supervisor peskin and his crew are trying to create more ways for obstructions to development. I’ve been living in San Francisco proper for 55 years - the homeless and drug problems are not new. They’ve been around since the crack epidemic in the 80s.

“Decline” is not a great word to use here. There’s still full employment in San Francisco, and traditional industries in the city, like banking or insurance or legal or professional services are still active and vibrant, but folks are just working from home. So it’s only office buildings leases and retail catering to office workers that’s been suffering. Outside the skyscrapers of the financial district, there’s no “decline.”

A city is not a collection of buildings. A city is a community of people. As soon as the ultra-rich came and stole our city it turned into a reeking cesspool, much like the politicians groomed from that same group of people have turned the country into a larger reeking cesspool. To revitalize the city ... bring back the families that lived there from the beginning. Bring back the artists, the writers, the restauranteurs and others who cared about one another, supported the arts, the foods, the parks and you'll have a city again. The rich have nothing but falsified property values and no skin in the game.

The reason San Francisco appears on a decline is more boring than "crime" - why would someone shop at stores in the city when those same stores are closer in the suburbs?! If anything, local businesses provide a more compelling reason for suburbanites to come to cities and suburban downtowns. In other words, one would prefer to spend 10 minutes in traffic driving and parking at Best Buy than spending an hour and 10 driving into a city to go to another Best Buy.

Decline is kind of a misnomer. I don’t know anyone who lost their jobs or is unemployed. I see empty office buildings and retail because of work from home, but outside the confines of skyscrapers in fidi, there’s no decline at all. Anyways, people don’t come to the city to shop at best buy or big box stores. I live downtown and I drive to colma for all that. I shop in the city for small, local boutiques and local shopping for stuff you can’t find on Amazon.

Who told you anyone is leaving SF? SF lost at ton of rich techies who moved to work from home in Hawaii and Tahoe in 2020. But since 2021 the city has been gaining population again. The media loves the doom loop narrative, but frankly as a local this just sounds silly. Union Square is at 85% retail occupancy. That's quite literally better than it was in 2014! I don't remember any doom loop talk in 2014. In fact, it was considered a banner year up to that point.

The date checks out. Downtown was always criticized for being somewhat of a ghost town. That's not new and only exacerbated by the fact that tech is still mostly 2/3 hybrid.

Her buildings look like garbage. She thinks people want to "embrace" a place that's unsafe? They leave because it's unsafe, it doesn't become unsafe because they leave. She has a sheltered, bourgeiose view of reality. She has probably been genuinely unsafe in her entire life. Look, the problem SF has is indeed common to other cities. This is because these problems start with a fundamental misunderstanding of what a city is meant to be. Cities aren't meant to be population centers. Cities are meant to be places of commerce, then tourism, and finally culture (in order of weight). You can't have a large density of people without being stricter / clearer on rules than you could elsewhere and less tolerant of law breaking and legal overcomplication. What you can't do is be loose with law and order and expect to have a high population density with a high quality of life and low cost of living. Something has to give. We keep expecting unrealistic (ie political) answers to work, which is why the decline doesn't stop. The first thing you have to do to solve a problem is understand it. This requires putting aside political biases and preconceived notions. Infrastructure is a problem, but only symptomatic of deeper issues. The deepest issue is not understand what a city is and expecting it to be something else that it cannot be. Poor people need to move to places they can afford (like the country), to get a better quality of life. Stop trying to force a square peg in a round hole. It doesn't work, it never works, anywhere.

Beautiful architecture isn't the problem and to blame housing is being ignorant to not face the realities that are seen in other Progressive cities. When SF was run by liberal and moderate policy it thrived because it is one of the best cities in the world. When Progressive ideology took over (think DA Boudin) was when the problem starts not because of housing because the same housing issues were there when we were thriving. The media continues to look for other "problems / factors" and never will discuss the reality to no offend.
