San Fran needs to focus on its tourism. It is a beautiful city . It was not ok when mental disturbed , homeless folks spilled out from tenderloin to tourist places like Union square, Cable cart , Embarcadero, financial district, Civic plaza , market street . How do you expect tourist to enjoy walking , shop, enjoy a cup of coffee when there is flith on the street , half naked dirty men carrying their shopping cart around. Simply unacceptable .
Overpriced food, entitled people, signage on signage, high rents, high tax, high cost of living, broken glass on every other street, rampant crazies and open drug use, whats not to like? I dont understand why they would leave?
The problem is not taxes. The problem is street junkies and violent, menacing shoplifters and thieves, thugs and drug dealers are allowed to run hogwild with their right to engage in destructive actions prioritized over law abiding, tax paying residents.
Shhh...stop pointing out the demonrat's soft on crime policies and their insane tax rates that are unfavorable to businesses...which -- surprise surprise, creates jobs and stimulate the economy.
I agree, but unfortunately most of our CA voter base is too far left they don't get it. You'll have to let things get so bad until maybe they wake up to that fact. Most of them passed Proposition 47
Google, Amazon, Oracle,Facebook , Salesforce , Visa, Microsoft - these are aging stable companies with global brand recognition. They really do not have much of their workforce in US and really do not need a place to promote their brand. They are shareholder focused , making sure companies stay profitable with minimum investment and maximum return . So any amount of cost cutting matters.
They’re leaving San Francisco because it’s a garbage hole. That’s the main reason they’re leaving there doesn’t matter the amount of workers they have they’re leaving because he’s a Democrat sheep I’ve destroyed this country.
"They really do not have much of their workforce in US" what are you talking about? A huge portion, perhaps even the majority of the combined workforce across all of the companies you mentioned is based in the US.
have you ever been to either city? San Francisco is the most beautiful city in the world. Long after Google leaves there will be others to come in and their employees will fall in love with this jewel of a city. On our worst day, San Francisco is a better place than any other in America.
Companies hoping that workers go back to the office is a disillusion. The cats out the bag, workers will probably never return and unfortunately the companies will be the ones holding the bag when it comes to office space.
Not true! I live here and I don't subscribe to either delusional belief system. Both are extraordinarily misguided. Don't need a " party" to tell me what to believe in/or not....I have a mind for that.
@@JohnBock-nq9lr it's true. Salt lake City and other majority Republican run cities are safer and better. There are bad apples, of course, but very few compared to liberal cities, even the likes of Dallas and Austin which are in Texas. Those 2 cities are liberal
Stonestown's redevelopment project will replace parking lots with apartment buildings, creating an oasis of amenities for those renters. But the project will reduce local access for car drivers. Future visitors will need to use Muni or Uber/Lyft. Not sure that it's a positive story for locals. Stonestown Galleria is the last popular mall left in SF. All other SF malls are mostly vacant.
another day in SF have you seen the ocean view from Sydney harbor and Melbourne water front??? I have and it's amazed don't forget Gold Coast Australia
For those of us who get so frustrated with California voters that lean to the extreme left. I can tell you be patient. The dominoes are falling and the reality of all the bad policies will rear their ugly head. Eventually even the extreme liberal folks will get tired of all the crime and problems. Or at least you would think they will.
I just got back from NYC a few days ago--what a difference there! Time Square was pack with people and the city continue to expand it's airports, night and day difference to here.
There are homeless and shit downstair. And you can get robbed in this area, and get assaulted in the BART. Why do people risk their life to San Francisco for work?
The location was decent. Bart accessible, Ferry accessible, parking was available but really expensive. A lot of the food places started closing because of the lack of people. Monday and Fridays were almost completely dead. A few of our female coworkers were terrified of some of the homeless and refused to walk alone even during the day.
I'll tell you one big reason they're leaving they've had Nut Job show up at random Google workers houses and threaten them and tell them that they're the problem they're the cause of the rising rents and these people are nuts you know they here they are using Android phones and things develop like Google and yet they're threatening people from Google and saying they're the problem I would leave too
I just read some stuff or watch some stuff from 10 years ago I forgot all about the people vomiting on the Google buses and threatening the Google employees and all that nutty stuff and that was before the homeless stuff took over the unhoused people and the theft and the craziness robbing stores and all that boy that place has gotten worse and worse
3:19 so middle sized businesses will pay more and larger will pay less corporate taxes? Lmao, “the rich don’t pay their fair share “ could be SF slogan and then they propose this
Stop blaming the Democrats. Things will turn around - if we elect more Democrats and get more federal and state money, we can fix the problems that are actually created by conservatives.

It's hardly beautiful
It a shit covered city.
People travel across to globe to SF to see shits
People just don’t feel safe in SF. Don’t blame the politicians, blame the people who keep voting them in power.
This!

I live here and am of an apolitical persuasion.Thats the exact same description of the city I would use.
The mayor must be proud 🤦♂️😡
When woke Goog leaves SF…you know just how bad things are in the city.
Stunning view of homeless and crime.
The problem is not taxes. The problem is street junkies and violent, menacing shoplifters and thieves, thugs and drug dealers are allowed to run hogwild with their right to engage in destructive actions prioritized over law abiding, tax paying residents.
Correct...but taxes are now also a problem. SF and CA in general operating with the mindset that there’s an endless piggy bank is over
Shhh...stop pointing out the demonrat's soft on crime policies and their insane tax rates that are unfavorable to businesses...which -- surprise surprise, creates jobs and stimulate the economy.
Its all of that plus cost of living. And over regulation. And fees.
@@jessebflythe taxes aren’t the problem no longer getting values from them is. Taxes always been insane here.

That's cue for massive laid-off for that specific office.

Why would ANYBODY want to Commute to ANY CITY ... when they could work from home and save $70 dollars a day....

What San Francisco has become is disgusting
SF is the next Detroit
Give it 10yrs still alot of idiots with money there
Have you seen Downtown Detroit lately? Its pristine actually.
Yeah right 🙄
SF is a great place !
To take a dump on a sidewalk 😆🫵💩

Good for google to leave crime ridden SF.
They're not leaving the city. They're leaving an office.
That's only the start.....
@@Kthomasritchie Did you just say that with a straight face?
SF's decline was a self-inflicted wound. This what happens if you neglect law enforcement. All the businesses just leave.
I see all the open store fronts across from the San francisco Giants stadium,,,
This is good news.
San Francisco
Once proud and beautiful
Now an apocalyptic hell hole.
I live here...I know.

young workers will beg to
that is why workers are getting fired in the name of restructuring. Slim down on non-productive employees and cut down on office space expenditure.
San Francisco = 100% Democrats
Salt Lake City = 100% Republicans
Which city is better run?
Not true!
I live here and I don't subscribe to either delusional belief system.
Both are extraordinarily misguided.
Don't need a " party" to tell me what to believe in/or not....I have a mind for that.
Any party politics = disaster politics
Politicians are corrupt or incompetent regardless whether they are Democrats or Republicans

is crime legal in san francisco?
SF was a livable city before Big Tech moved in and hoarded the economy. This is SOP for these tech companies. Where will they ruin next?
Yes, OK they are leaving, but I think it’s different from what you think. I think they’re leaving to give New someplace to put the illegals.
Raise taxes on the mega corporations they can afford it
another day in SF
have you seen the ocean view from Sydney harbor

I have and it's amazed
don't forget Gold Coast Australia
Baghdad by the bay.
Baghdad has a much richer and more important history than San Francisco.

THE SHIP IS SINKING, No its floating, no its sinking, no its fine, the ship looks great, well its a good looking sinking ship.
The power of Socialism, Communism, never enough of anything, especially your money. They take all of your money then leave you with this.
BS, Google has several huge complexes nearby, building another one in San Jose. Your so called socialism is working, obviously
It's doing fine. Compared to Oakland. lol

Bye SF👋. Too expensive, we're leaving 😂
Is Google going to buy/rent an office in another State?
I just got back from NYC a few days ago--what a difference there! Time Square was pack with people and the city continue to expand it's airports, night and day difference to here.
There are homeless and shit downstair. And you can get robbed in this area, and get assaulted in the BART. Why do people risk their life to San Francisco for work?
Recall Newsom again and vote Breed out of office.
Never thought I’d see Stonestown come back to life! It was pretty depressing 10-15 years ago. Happy to see SF adjusting to market forces.
Vote Breed and these democrats out of office.
The location was decent. Bart accessible, Ferry accessible, parking was available but really expensive. A lot of the food places started closing because of the lack of people.

Over run with far left cluster fs.
dont they like al fresco street toilets?
Al Frisco
fire insurance ran out probally
sf need a reset. all companies leave. then do restracturing, solve homeless problem, etc.
Let’s see property values come back to reality as more and more of these offices close.
I think a lot of companies don't like SF anymore 😢😢😢
Nor do a lot of San Franciscans
A lot of them don't like California anymore for many reasons
They finally came to their senses
Send them to Detroit!;) Bunch of troublemakers 😮😢
Old news. Building is old, not earthquake proof to current standards and is subprime in facilities compared to nearby newer buildings.
I'll tell you one big reason they're leaving they've had Nut Job show up at random Google workers houses and threaten them and tell them that they're the problem they're the cause of the rising rents and these people are nuts you know they here they are using Android phones and things develop like Google and yet they're threatening people from Google and saying they're the problem I would leave too

VP Harris must be proud what she created there.😮
Shame camera person couldn't provide us a view of the building, instead of a "description." Is it Embarcadero One ???
They might just consider moving into more central CA where their employees can still afford a home or just move to Texas like everyone else
that gonna jack the price up. Central CA home price is cheap in CA standard but it is extremely high when compared to the rest of the country.
3:19 so middle sized businesses will pay more and larger will pay less corporate taxes? Lmao, “the rich don’t pay their fair share “ could be SF slogan and then they propose this
Good for Google. Away from the politics.
“I have ten AI companies moving in”, London Breed 🤣
Im dead 💀💀💀
Building new offices and manufacturing everywhere in Ohio. ❤️😂
But i thought socialism worked 😂
Translation, this is much ado about nothing!
they still blaming covid 😅 😅 😅, California decline, people vote for that
not happening
They have other locations. So what. Poor SF
let's sing the song "London Bridge is Falling Down" That's why we GO
Bidenenomics.
So they are turning this into a giggle and wiggle? Nothing going on! Hee hee!
lol a giggle and wiggle
A what
More space for homeless shelters! Winning !
It's a growth industry
Turn it into housing.
WHAT WHAT? THIS IS GREAT
You are so envious because you have never put a foot in SF, sooo jealous

Democrat city good job. It's Nacy Pelosi district anyway
So sad to see Google go😢
they have a few more offices in SF, including their other companies like fitbit and waymo. Their main building is still down the street at Spear 1
It just breaks my heart in two 💔
Stop blaming the Democrats. Things will turn around - if we elect more Democrats and get more federal and state money, we can fix the problems that are actually created by conservatives.
London breed ruined the city she is example of incompetency at it finest
Sounds like a brilliant plan
And defund the police! No cash bail!! It’s all worked great so far. Right? Right??
Which conservatives actually created the problems in SF - name names and be specific.
Dems and progressives have run SF Into doom for years and years. There are no conservatives in SF government.
So this is GOOD for San Fran?
Spin spin spin
Ok, companies ditching your shitty city is good. Nice try!
