I worked with Steve for over 10 years. Good guy. Glad to see he's being recognized for his efforts in the Asian American community.

I work in SF. If you want life to come back to SF, you really have to make people feel safe first. Crime, homelessness, and drugs have to go first.
SF is never going to be what it was.
Covid
If you want the party life to come back, you need all the natives that got kicked out and all the people that moved here for tech to come back. Sounds absurd and backwards , but you can’t expect a party life when there’s not many young people here. I feel safe going out in the city
Great guy. Spent Saturday night with him and the guy who created the Underdog 55 chevy at The Lions Den. You can feel the history in there of Chinatown. Great job Steve.
I hope SF makes a comeback. All I hear is horror stories! I have great memories of Chinatown!
Nothing will comeback until they take care of the crime, drugs, and homelessness. So basically it'll never come back.
Not with DNC running things
Not gonna happen with the lunatic demoRAT's running the asylum.
Niners is the appropriate name since it's associated with boom and bust. Anyone that was around in the early 00s remembers how it was pretty bad back then. An un-named tech company leased a whole building long term and didn't have the head count anymore. No one wanted to move in. My old company moved in on a sweetheart deal on a sublease.
Will be trickier with work from home, but SF will bounce back eventually.
❤ CHINATOWN

@@silentmajority8365what's with the negativity? Chinatown is awesome.
@@silentmajority8365 loser
Using lib standards a racially exclusive area is racist
Can I have a White town?
FYI Covid ended the lives of over a million Americans in two years
It would take gun murders fifty years to equal that
I'm glad I ate there once, but no one insulted us.
Thanks Steve - we need more people like you, a new generation of forward thinking visionaries to carry and share our heritage with the world that is beyond the delicious buns and roast ducks hanging and beckons our appetite in the shop window, or the seemingly endless vegetable stands spewing at the brim.
Best of luck. I hope the Bay can be vibrant some day like it used to be.
Awesome
Bring back Chinatown like the 70 80 90s. Those was the year I grow up in Chinatown 🎉🎉🎉 back then Chinatown was like in Hong Kong close late
Not anymore. you get rob from a certain type of people
Now Chinatown is just a place where white guys go to find girlfriends.
Applaud
Appraud
this is a real good guy shoutout steve
Good 👍!
❤❤❤❤
Uhhh this was already covered by another station months ago
New dance club opening in North Beach
In the Cannery 🎉
Bring back the clip joints
Bling backa crip joints? You Rekee?
@@silentmajority8365 You sound like a loser.
Opium Dens and Massage Parlors
@@silentmajority8365u ok? do you need medical assistance?
Cool
Seattle Chinatown didn't have a nightlife but it did have people going down there at night until the city made meters active till later into the night and let the homeless situation get out of hand. And the politicians didn't help either with their idiotic ideas which made it hard to run a profitable business along with the high rents.
Chinese businesses took their business out of Seattle and are striving creating new Chinese hubs. Seattle Chinatown is fading away. There are new developments going up around the area also of which will eventually engulf it.
Gavin Newsom deserves a lot of credit for what San Fran is today.
The problem with SF Chinatown is that it is very old and outdated.
I don't want to get robbed
Chatroom
Cool. I will check it out
happy endings
Pls clean up the streets of Chinatown and the downtown of San Francisco before you plan your do biz in the Bay Area
Get rid of the crime and homelessness, until then, Tourists need to stay away for their safety.
Good.luck.i.hope.you.do.it❤❤❤❤
🥳🤓🥳
Would be a headache for the East-West traffic, but they should shut down the some of the North-South roads on the weekends. Or at least just shut down Grant and let the East-West traffic remain.
If you want to bring it back Chinatown in SF first NBC and other media stop spreading Chinese Hate.
This. Asian racism is so bad in this country, as an Asian myself I always feel invisible, it's always about black and white people, I want my cultural appropriation too 😢
So many window breaking
Why would I want to go all the way to SF Chinatown when I can go to any other Bay Area city and find me comparable Chinese food? Less crime, less homeless, less human feces, less cost on parking. There is no incentive for anyone to go all the way to Chinatown unless you're a tourist. Give it up Steven, Chinatown will never be the same and same goes with the City. Gov't officials have made it unprofitable for small businesses because of all the red tape and taxes and to be honest ... it is way too expensive for the average person to spend a night out in the city.
Where? Vacaville? 🤣
@@collintam4295 There is Panda Express in Vacaville which is cleaner than most Chinatown Mom n Pop restaurant.
stay inside , stay safe, and keep Voting Blue , it works #NEWSOM
HK triads return too. Plus the drunks of all ethnicities. Remember the Golden Dragon?
What year are you talking about? Too many movies for you!
OH NOO !!
PLEASE Not the drunks of all ethnicities 😱
Hello!?? Golden dragon was half a century ago. Did you see the news on TV about all the shootings tonight and all the other nights everywhere, NOT in Chinatown?
@@collintam4295yup! he's watching too many movies in his basement while trolling on the computer.
Make a rule in chinatow for those who to the USA after 2012
No Rikee covid
????
@@silentmajority8365Chinatown had the lowest rate of covid. Chinatown is not China. It's in the USA. 😂
@@mayyoung8375
The Seattle outbreak traced to a healthcare worker that was on vacation in Korea and infected the senior home she worked at
Covid ended more lives in two years than guns could in 50 years in America
I find it ironic they vacation in countries they claim to have fled lol
Lastly after 4 years still no protocol in place to stop disease from entering this country
@@mayyoung8375let him be. He's a troll.
Don’t go! You will get robbed because of the lawlessness.
Where?
Go back inside 😂
Even before the pandemic, Chinatown is going downhill already.
No Ross
Thanks to the racist SF "leadership"
How is that?
He has a very Americanized voice. He doesn’t have a foreign Asian accent.
Dude - that's like all of us that grew up in the States. If I try hard, I can bring back my East Coast accent. Now, I have a flat American semi-California one.
He was born in Vacaville, CA. You don't know what ABCs are? What are you?
DONALD TRUMP 2024🎉🎉🎉
Trump for Prison 2024
Dozy Donald too old to stay up late! 🤣
We are celebrating "Asian Americans" every day.
Why can't be celebrate everyone?
All lives Matter besides white people, right?
Because this is Asian American heritage month. There's African-American heritage month, Latin American month, etc. But you have a history of Asian hate in all your posts everyday. Troll.
Chinatown and Chinese are afraid of the dark and nighttime. It’s unfortunate.
All Chinatown across America is slowing shrinking! The new young generation move out away from the once great towns!
I thought being racially exclusive was racist? Can I have a white town?
@@silentmajority8365 some weird thing is happening in sf where they made special white only neighborhoods like forest hill and then made redlined districts for non whites but then modern white people think the white neighborhoods are boring and bland and want to live in an interesting historically segregated neighborhood where there are bars and cultural sites, and not just giant mansions and parks like in the white neighborhoods. Then the minorities are forced to leave by the rising rents and SF slowly gets more white every day while they gloss over the problem talking about reparations and shit.
Ummm...I don't know if you live here, but USA is PACKED with Asians 😂
They live in metropolitan areas now just like the rest of America because the big cities are currently infected with bad politics.
I really don't see a future where USA stops being a melting pot, it's too big and always changing 😂
No, Chinese Seniors moving to San Mateo/Santa Clara County for Section 8 apartments.
@@hyphydanall kinds of people uses section 8 and move everywhere, is that where you live in San Mateo? Asians aren't the ones using the most section 8. Your pattern of prejudice is disturbing. I pray that you get a life besides continuing with your hate. It's only hurting yourself more.
