Walking Downtown San Francisco, CA | Union Square, Tenderloin, Market Street
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2023
- San Francisco, located on the western coast of the United States, is a vibrant and culturally rich city that captivates visitors with its unique charm and stunning natural beauty.
The city is renowned for its iconic landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, a magnificent suspension bridge that spans the entrance to the San Francisco Bay. The bridge's bright orange-red color and graceful design have made it an internationally recognized symbol.
In this video, I walk through the popular Union Square area before visiting the Tenderloin District, and then making my way to Market Street to the San Francisco Ferry Building.

What a beautiful city. Lots of trees and amazing architecture and history. I hope they can sort out their current problems.
@@Glacius_EX why is that ?
Dont kid urself lol. It sucks
SF is a dump now. I stopped going there in 2013.
It looks much better than L.A. cleaner, beautiful trees, and amazing architecture. Very nice walking,. Thank you so much, Bye.
You have to be there to see the real trash heap it has become.
One of the most beautiful cities in the world😊
*WAS
Climbing all those hills makes one physical fit
If you look at Al Roker's weather every morning, you will see that SF has the
perfect 68 degrees, while the rest of the country is 110. EVERYDAY !
Damn right 👉
I feel like I was there in person...No words...Just Wow...Seding kisses from Fresno, CA
I loved walking in downtown SF. The cable car ride is a one of a kind experience. I visited in July a few years ago and had to wear a sweater for warmth. Nordstrom’s, Chinatown, and the views were favorite parts. It’s such a breathtaking siting for a city.
Loved riding the cable car
Nordstrom is closing. So, you will not see that anymore.
Was it still cold in summer?
@@kabardarialamgaib1449 it's cold year round in sf. If it's warm during the day, around 4PM, the weather shifts to chilly.
CITY OF EXCREMENT🤮🤮
I’m from Philly I wish our bad areas looked this good
5:20 The St. Francis Hotel.
What a contrast to NYC in terms of hustle and bustle. A completely different vibe. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated!
It’s usually busier than this honestly
@@lanisehoward8397 not since covid
@@deenzmartin6695 I know 🥲
New Yorkers who only know NYC have no idea how empty American cities are. Check out St. Louis, Memphis, and a bunch of other cities in the south and midwest. They are basically ghost towns and depressing.
I used to live on Geary at Leavenworth, before pandemic. Looks like it hasn't changed much since then. Thanks for the upload!!
The Actionkid enjoying a quiet walk 🚶♀️in San Francisco ! 🐼
It used to be swarming with thousands of people, sidewalks full. Seeing a few pedestrians here and there is eerie.
This place is getting negative publicity …is that why?
Covid. Before covid I commuted to work into the city every day. Now it's once a week. Even the people that live in the city telecommute.
We have styrofoam lagging on scaffolding walkways…its safer..
That's the way the world works. You can always move to Tuscaloosa.
Nobody likes walking in s*** and dodging needles
Very nice walk, used full screen, felt like I was there. Loved the Wells Fargo bldg. I can't help but to notice all the empty store fronts tho . Thanks !
Thanks for posting!
SAN Francisco seems more ‘laid back’ than New York City. This could be my next trip. Thank you AK
They are laid back but they’re not nice people. I found New York to be more down to earth and less stuffy
@@happydayz7857 Lol, you're kidding, right?
@@TohaBgood2much easier to make friends in nyc than the entirety of the SF Bay Area. I grew up in the bay, moved to nyc. At least my own experience.
@@laeihbvaljefhbvalejfhbv Definitely your experience. New Yorkers are wildly rude and abrasive like most people from large cities. Californians in general, and Bay Area people in particular are a lot softer and nicer. People actually smile at each other and say hi in the neighborhoods.
I've never experienced anything even remotely similar in NYC. I've lived there for a few years and commuted back for consulting work for years. Still do sometimes.
Youre The Best ActionKid!
OK. Viva Amerikai Egyesult Allamok./USA./Kalifornia: San Francisco 2023.
Downtown is empty bc most workers haven't returned. You walked an 8-blk area, before heading down market to ferry bldg which survived 1906 earthquake. The fountain (lotta) you walked by, was where survivors posted info to find survivors. Every yr, a survival celebration takes place there. Btw, people wearing shorts, short sleeves, sleeveless= tourists😊 51 yrs resident❤
Shorts means tourist? Because it’s cold there?
Another great premiere from San Francisco ,such a beautiful city and i agree those cable cars even look amazing 18:50 , 32:27 Beautiful building😎Overal very enjoyable and relaxing walk 🙂Thank you for sharing A K🙂👍!!!
You’re welcome, San Francisco is a beautiful city
@@ActionKidu should’ve play go to the tenderloin area and let everybody see what that place is all about
Thank you, I felt I was on the walk, beautiful city and peaceful. Hope I can visit in person soon. Good blend of architecture.
Beautiful!
Glad to have ppl that do this... ty fellow human
Nice video, wonderful walking tour in San Fransisco
You’re welcome
I love your amazing videos from NYC 🗽 more
I enjoyed seeing the old architectures, hilly streets, and the vintage street cars and cable cars. 😍 It's eye-opening to see Tenderloin and many of the people needing help. 🙁 Thank you for sharing this informative walk, AK! 🤗
You’re welcome! It’s sad to see all the people in need.
@@ActionKiddid u make any new friends on tenderloin u know im talkin about those drug addicted and them homeless 😄
Thanks a k so glad to find you again i wasn't for sure where you were filming these days I missed you😊
Watching from my city Governador Lindenberg Brazil.Nice 👍🇧🇷
Good Video!! You showed the beauty of the city!!
KID you are a National Treasure. SF is the beating heart of the Universe. We would not be exchanging pleasantries if not for this place.
I'm impressed how clean and tranquil it looks. Beautiful City! I remember traveling to SF a few years ago and people warning me that it was going to be tough and ugly, unsafe etc.... well honestly it was one of the safest and cleanest city I have visited in my whole life. I walked several neighborhoods and I can tell you, this is what Portland and Seattle dream of becoming. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
And then the next day you got robbed.
Yeah, it looks like they just cleaned that area. I haven’t seen San Francisco that clean in years. I think this is staged for tourism promotion.
Don't be fooled. I live nearby. Many parts of it are filthy and smelly.
Yeah I was in San Francisco about 4 yrs ago , went down to the famous pier with the sea lions . Anyways, as soon I got out of the car , I nearly stepped on a human turd that was on the parking spot I was at . Had some really aggressive homeless people ask me for money. It did not look like this.
@@daviddomingo7768Calling bull on that story. Fisherman's wharf neighborhood is expensive, touristy w high pedestrian traffic, therefore regularly patrolled. Not much of a homeless concentration in that part of the city. Unless you live in the city and spend significant amount of time there, very low odds of seeing/stepping in poop, esp. outside the homeless concentration neighborhoods (i.e. Tenderloin, SoMo, etc.). Maybe you could name the street you parked near Fisherman's Wharf so we can check it out on Google Streetview to see just how bad it looks.
Loving the San Francisco footage Action Kid.❤
Much appreciated!
Cool 😎
Dope video Action Kid on San Francisco.
Love the fact you are talking and creating some narrative.
lots of memory. tks for posting
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for the quick walk in San Francisco; it looks like a pretty day to be out and about. I thought our town had lots of financially-strapped people but this was an eye-opener.
Much appreciated, it was a gorgeous day!
It's wild how much of a ghost town SF looks like now. Growing up there, and going to art school there, there were always lots of people on Market street, Powell st, and in Union square. In general the whole downtown area was always full of people... tourists, shoppers, art students, finance guys, and of course the homeless.
Ghost towns are VERY common in many American cities. Check out St.Louis, Memphis and a bunch of cities in the south and Midwest. So many empty streets. America is primarily busy only in the northern east coast cities, south Florida, Chicago, Vegas and a couple other regions. The rest of the country city downtowns are mostly empty or minimal
@@ramencurry6672 Downtown San Francisco was not a ghost town before.
@Mwolfe It isn't any more of that.
Yin and Yang. If I were an RE babe I'd be buying the shit out of this place.
@@mwolfe2022 It's not a ghost town now either. DT SF was always busy during the 9-5 and people always complained that it was a ghost town outside of the 9-5. I've literally listened to these complaints my entire life. But this is more due to the lack of housing in the area than anything sinister, like what you are implying.
Londoner here. Last travelled to SanFran in 2000 much busier with people traffic then. I think covid changed so much in big cities, so many people work from home and shop online, lots of central London is empty now. And then fear of crime /asb drives people to stick to where they know and not stroll around so much. That said hope to return to San Fran one day...
As AK said SF has some similarities in architecture like NYC, however not so many people walking around though....nicer to move around here....SF has its unique features compare to other cities in the US...good vblog AK..thanks for sharing 🎉😂
You’re welcome, thank you for watching
San Francisco has always had heavy foot traffic prior to the pandemic.
Looks like they’ve cleaned up the city, no tents!
Happy Memorial Day, Action Kid!🤗🎉🎉🎆🎆🍎
That's not Fisherman's Warf. It's the Embarcadero.
I remember when to ride the cable car was 50 cent to sit and free to ride standing on the outside decks
Good vid. Haven’t been there for some time. Thanks for showing the side of S.F. the MSM doesn’t.
Thank you!
Oh God,I remember when you had few thousands subscribers)Did you move on in San Francisco from NY?) Glad to see you again)God Bless🤍🕊☘
Thanku so much it is a great video. I feel i am walking myself there
Thank you for posting this. I just visited SF for the first time in early May !
How did you find it? I'm thinking of going but lots of people are saying it's not as good as it used to be and there's homeless people all around etc
Stack sats before it’s too late
You were in my area, if I knew you were coming, would have met you downtown. When you walked past the Westin, there was another hotel directly across the street from it, The Handlery. Look it up when you get the chance.
Gorgeous city! One of my favourites! Reminds me of Kitsilano in Vancouver where I live!! I mean the style of houses in many parts of San Francisco! Vancouver is like a sister city!! I had never seen this video before Ken!! Fabulous!! You rock!! Cheers!! 🙂
Having worked for approximately. a year & half in SF’s Financial District quite a while ago, I enjoyed seeing virtually my former stomping grounds. The long line to board the Powell Street cable car hasn’t changed at all.
Wow! I use to spend alot of time in SF and san jose. Where are all the people? Early to mid 2000's the streets were so pack it was difficult to do walking tours.
Nice video 😎 keep up the great work
So sad how many businesses are closed
Much appreciated!
Beautiful sunny day and the city looks pretty clean
It was gorgeous!
Tourist parts of SF will never die. It's the city's life's blood.
Insight into the city if san francisco
I was in SF last year...I 've been to SF 2 dozen times on vacay. ( usually a 2 full weekend 10-11 day trip along Union Square).. it was an annual trip for me and the wife...the excitement from the streets of SF is gone and when the sun sets~night time in the city feels awkwardly ominous.....drugs and crime are the MO. Tenants and tourists are vacating. Union Square is a fraction of what it used to be. I enjoyed your vid. Still a gorgeous place in the cool sunshine~ I am hoping for a fertile rebirth of SF in the coming decade..The politics as usual are not working... T/U.
Hey man, spend some time in hayes valley or north beach. There's always cool stuff in the city. But not downtown nowadays
another over-exaggeration
@@devindoherty184 Yeah, people (such as your self) keep saying things like that, but these videos, first hand reports, and all the reports of store closings and rising crime beg to differ... If you can post a video showing otherwise, I'd love to see it.
Curious. What are you using to capture footage?
Damn, last time I was here was 2019. Felt just like yesterday we were here walking around Downtown, lots of people, music, going to stores and the mall. It’s like a damn ghost town now.
Thanks for posting this.
Sad looks so empty not the
sanfrancisco i remember not doing anything about it. Wow
Great video through the streets of San Francisco! I guess it's not as bad as they say ...
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
Everyone is GONE😮
it's worse. you obviously don't live there.
@@deenzmartin6695 Lol, I live here. The Tenderloin is rough, but you just don't go there. Problem solved.
@@TohaBgood2 you probably also think LONDON BREED is a good mayor 🙄
Thank you for the details
Cool!😎😎😎
lack of people in streets is amazing but very clean
I saw plenty of people around
Looks deserted. Pre 2020 you'd be shoulder to shoulder on the sidewalk.
not as clean as it seems
Yeah, he stayed in a very specific area and skirted the edge of the Tenderloin, had he gotten closer to Market and Taylor, or gone down Turk or Eddy, you would have been a VERY different scene.
@@mrsleep0000 Yeah, but even international tourists know not to go there. The Tenderloin was in the national news. Everyone knows that they should avoid it. The locals don't set foot there. Every city has that neighborhood(s).
Why would you deliberately seek out the roughest neighborhood in a city and try to hang out there? Just stay out of the Tenderloin and enjoy the rest of the gorgeous city!
You should take video and walk couple block more, so we could see different views. Please do it again after 5PM without bulletproof vest! 🤣
Awesome!!
I've been to S.F. many times. Back in 2002/03 I was stayin in the then Metropole Hotel on Turk Nr Mason. This guy John Bravard who was stayin in the Dalt Hotel on Turk comes out & opens up with a .45 cos he's pissed at life. Four innocent souls dead & one injured lying in the street ! Could never shrug that off & will never go back to that place. California dreamin - California Screamin !
I want to see 2601 Lyon St, in
San Francisco were the school which is actually a apartment were Disney film The Princess Diaries 1 movie
Was in san Francisco for a week, this city looked great to me and my family! Thanks
Glad you had a great vacation 😊
Great how? Everywhere it is a ghost town. What, so you didn't have to go anywhere and saved a lot of money by not spending on anything because there is nothing left to spend on? Good for you. I empathize with you, when you don't have to waste money on touristy things.
@@riproar11 Lol, dude. Are you really trying to do the whole "don't believe your lying eyes" thing? Cause if you are I want to see more of it. Just let me get the popcorn first 😁😁😁
@@TohaBgood2 Go waste your money.
@@riproar11 Oh, I make my own popcorn. It's better than store-bought, fresh, and pretty cheap to make.
But you go right ahead! Tell us how what we saw is not what we saw and how orange Jeebus will come save us all! We're listening. Go!
🍿😋
St. Francis Hotel to be exact
Reminds me of NYC !!! That block with the homeless people that was it. Everything else looked normal.
very enjoyable, i notice there were'nt many people out on that day, is this normal or is there something going on like a public day off from work?
No, this is about normal. He's walking through the business district and that is pretty empty during the weekend and outside of the 9-5. You have to venture into "the neighborhoods" which are like cute little "Main streets" scattered throughout the city to see the people. They're usually very cutesy and very different, each has it's own vibe.
You should see Kensington in Philadelphia
👍👍👍👍👍👍Thank you!
I noticed you failed to mention all the closed businesses on both sides of the street as you were walking ,
thank you for the walk and narritives
i'm actually here mainly to see how common it is to spot an obese people on street but i dont think i see a lot? deffo not somewhere near 1/3 as statistics tend to show?
San Fransicko is the shoplifting capital of the West coast.
Looks better than where I live Birmingham UK.
You avoided the tenderlion.. lol
You cannot let one demographic of society bring down to its knees a beautiful international city like San Francisco. Everybody can see who is doing this and Police need to be brought back to stop the chaos.
So SF is gonna go down economically soon?
I saw recent videos where all stores on Market st is closing
@@norpriest521 exactly! That is because one demographic of society and we all know who they are, are bitter and want to ruin the rest of the nation.
We have police in SF. But 80% (of "sworn-in" officers) are out of towners who commute for a paycheck with little investment in trying to understand anybody who lives here. The same can be said for many government employees here, actually. And the street police tend to just drive around and honk at people, which doesn't teach them anything, and we all have to listen to it throughout the day and night, and try to tune that and everything else out the best we can, leading to them and other "services" honking and blasting their sirens even more, because that's all they know how to do. Literally a fire truck siren right now.
Edit: followed by an ambulance.
You can't over ride, who this demographic vote for... sad but these folks get what they vote for..too bad, yes, but their choice.
Yes you can!
Next time when you planning to go back in SF can visit the places where princess diares shoots their taping.
The tenderloin is more than just struck with poverty.
Correction: Market Street ends at the Ferry Building.
Hello, your video is very impressive, I come from a Vietnamese village
Never an emptier downtown and a radically departure from 2019 (Peak year)
I was there in 2019, and it was obvious even then that the City was unsustainable and destined to die.
For a beautiful day at noon, I’ve never seen so little pedestrian or vehicular traffic in SF. On the sidewalks in the areas around Union Square it used to be packed with people every day. At this time of the day, no one passing through the doors of Macy’s, empty chairs and tables in the park, no one at the bike rentals. This is a retail and economic cancer/disaster spreading through this city. I saw another video done in the past week walking up Powell St. From Market, and every store and hotel closed.
The businesses have all left
This is nonsense. SF did get pretty busy before the pandemic but it wasn't a constant carnival. This looks pretty normal for an average weekend walk in SF. You people keep imagining stuff. Meanwhile, tourism in SF is back to 80% of pre-pandemic levels. Reality does not agree with your biases.
Res ipsa loquitur.
@@michaelotruba1308 Lol, sure. All of a sudden the city is different that it has always been because you right wingers want it to be. And no evidence to the contrary can prove you wrong because everything it based on "feels" and "vibes."
What does the 80% hotel occupancy compared to pre-pandemic tell you? What about the fact that it was only 50% last year and 30% in 2021? Does that speak for itself as well?
It's EMBARCADERO wich means pier in spanish.
Nice
Everything looks very clean, modern and nice. I am not seeing all the horrible things that so many people are saying about San Francisco.
I use to live there and it can get pretty bad at night mainly robbers but if you look like you have nothing you will have nothing to worry about.
@@xong8254no a majority of the city is clean .. it’s the small area of dirtiness that people think represents the entire city
Yes, a small portion of San Francisco has homeless people and drug addicts. The other 95% is clean. Downtown is only about 1/4 four due to people working at home. The old way of commuting downtown has ended.
@@xong8254 Lol, nope. This is literally supposed to be one of the "dirty and dangerous" parts according to the right wing propaganda.
SF is overall a pretty clean city. Just stay out of the Tenderloin and you'll be fine. That's the part you saw on the news. All of Fox News's segments are shot on that same four-block square in the TD. Everything else honestly looks cleaner than before the pandemic. It seems that they might have doubled the pressure washing schedule.
All those stores are gone now. That's only a month wow
I lived in San Francisco in the late 80’s and 90’s. It was wonderful but seems so empty now.
I was just there , your video makes it look better than in person … the homeless drug addicted there were never residents of SF , it’s been incredibly expensive to live there forever, they come to town for handouts and easy drug access that lefty cities are known for.
Thanks for watching! San Francisco is a beautiful city but not without its challenges.
@DF please stop the propaganda. hella annoying.
@@deenzmartin6695 Lol, look at you trying to use "hella" to pretend like you're a local. Now that it's gone national the locals have been shying away from using it. It's no longer our thing. And by the way, that's originally an Oakland thing, so San Franciscans are not particularly notorious for using it.
But C+ for effort! At least you tried to pretend like you're from here 😁😁😁
Just casually threw in a "hella", lol 🤣🤣🤣
@@TohaBgood2 wrong
@@TohaBgood2 show me where i said i live in the city. i'll wait.
The Tenderloin isn't that bad...during the day. I still love SF too. They don't rob me but if I was a business that would be a different story.
Please don't instruct tourists to go to the Tenderloin, lol. Come on! You should know better as a local 😁
Where is everyone ?
Where do people go where most of the stores are closed and buildings emptied?
GG Bridge, Alcatraz, Palace of Fine Arts, Pier 39, Cable Cars, Lombard St, Ferry Building, GG Park, Alamo Square, Ghirardelli Square, Oracle Park, Chase Center, Coit Tower etc...
To sleep
Market St goes to The Embarcadero on the waterfront but it doesn’t go to Fisherman’s Wharf
Thank you for the tour. S.F. is great if you have money. I "enjoyed" growing up there as the neighborhoods were friendly. We need to find a new definition of "great city"(it may not include downtowns). Loved your walk.😊😊😊
Hey guys as you are leaving sf I am looking for your apt@ Japantown/pacheights.
