As a SFSU student, the Stonestown revamp will greatly affect SFSU in a positive way and will definitely help San Francisco in the long run by indirectly supporting the largest school in the city!
Unless employees RTO full time there is no amount of chandeliers that can change that stretch of Powell Street. With the looming closure of Macy’s retailers are not drawn to ‘what could be.’
So this is interesting because from what we just learned that the employment data was basically falsified so there’s no new jobs, you’re talking about the revamp of these retail stores when the cost-of-living and things like gas are too high, where they’re pricing out service workers. What service workers do you think still live in San Francisco or Oakland because they’re gonna have to commute and if they don’t feel safe to park their cars, or take bart . Or are you hoping that students will be the new service workers, So maybe the tech workers going to be doing this part-time? Also, the fact that a lot of the homeless services have been falsified by the city and the state, and the growing problem of the homeless is still there , even though they’re doing encampment sweeps the homeless people have nowhere to go. I think you’re trying to set up people for a fake dream that’s not gonna happen.
Not following. You're saying service workers can't live in SF, therefore there will be nobody to take available jobs at these new places? Then who is currently working at the cafe that already exists at the Tunnel Tops? Or the mall that already exists at Stonestown? Or any restaurant in the City? Also not following what you're saying about the jobs report. Those are nationwide figures. What are you looking at that is specific to SF or Oakland?
@@Katsnacks I can tell you the company I work for are advertising jobs but not filling them. They’re only posted to make the company look good or they’re allowed to post them but require an executive signature CFO or CIO to even make an offer and know one is going to put them selves out there. SF and OAK company’s are now quietly leaving small departments at a time until the building is empty. Here is a tip for your page if it’s a large project the state will require a State IOR to be on site full time. Those are the money maker buildings.
The only big one I'm aware of is a potential revamp of Pier 39 / Fisherman's Wharf. It's in planning phases, super early, TBD if it ever goes forward.www.sfport.com/files/2023-02/022323_item_12b1_fishermans_wharf_revitalized_request_for_ena_2023_0215.pdf
The affordable housing one? London Breed just posted about it. Not sure if you mean this one or a different one though. instagram.com/p/DAEZWa0Skdm/?hl=en&img_index=2
I'm interested in the AI companies that leased nearly 2 million square feet of office space. Is that in downtown buildings that are currently empty? Revitalizing the Financial District is important to the health of the city. Once that happens, the vacant storefronts can fill up so that the area will be as vital as it used to be.
Did you watch the video? There will be jobs created as well as affordable houses which were noted in the video. Not sure why mobile home or homeless parking lots would be mentioned in a video about positive things coming to San Francisco. Those things already exist all over the streets, and the answer to helping reduce them is building more housing, which was definitely mentioned in this video
Thanks for the great update! It is unfortunate that anything and everything will take many years, if not decades, to complete. While the Bay Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge only took 3 to 4 years to build back in the 1930s, Powell Street Retail Corridor improvement will take a few years? Stonestown Redevelopment will take 20 years? That's several generations. 😮
There is a huge difference between building those bridges and the redevelopment of Stonestown. Stonestown started out as a 1-story open air mall that died. It now is a jam packed mall with 3 times as many stores. Adding 3,500 housing units and parks will take a ton of coordination. It also sits on 19th Ave, probably the busiest street in SF.
Years ago, I heard that they were going to build an outlet shopping area with housing above them. After the Candlestick tear down, I any plans for the area have stalled.
The entire area had development stall because pollution wasn't cleaned up properly--this led to disputes and lawsuits among contractors and developers.
How big is SF in terms of comparison, is it similar to Manhattan? Is the vibe of the city closer to LA, Manhattan, or somewhere else. What is the average weather like? Is it anymore dangerous than West LA? Finally, what areas would be comparable to Beverly Hills? I find asking people provides a better example than a single opinion from a single source online. Thanks
it's pathetically small compared to manhattan. i'd say the vibe is more like LA. its a quieter city though. its pretty boring for the most part. weather is usually 70deg. everyone here wears a light jacket. its not really dangerous outside of some parts of mission and tenderloin. as for beverly hills.. idk. theres a lot of random pockets of suburbs that are wealthy.
Much smaller population wise than Manhattan, but larger geographically. Manhattan is way more dense housing wise. Average weather is 60s usually. Some areas near the ocean are colder. Areas near the central waterfront typically warmer. Hottest it gets is 80s and that’s very rare. Maybe a few days a year. Only a few sub areas of SF are dangerous. 95% of the city is fine and nothing like what you see on the news. Stay out of the TL, civic center, Bayview, parts of the mission. Otherwise you’re fine. Specific areas similar to B Hills are Presidio Heights, Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff and St Francis Wood
@@WestCoastWalker-zj6obI have no issues with smaller homes. But they probably wont be anywhere close to the pricing of affordable housing. And even if they were, that small of a home wouldn’t work for families.
I hope this means the city is turning around. I didn’t know they were doing all this. What do they mean by affordable housing? Is it income limitations for the select few or housing that is less expensive so people who can’t afford a house can?
@@austinklar Have you seen the Rail no really gone down there and not just pinch another video. Have you talked to any trades there’s no work. Politicians will advertise a plan but nobody is breaking ground. I know for a fact all construction projects that I’m involved in has been halted. In regard to AI they would be Data Centers and no one in their right mind would develop in California with the cost of energy. Also why would you higher engineers local when they can employe engineers in Denver Ohio or out of the country and pay them maybe 60K to 70k
The mess hall sounds terrible. Who is going to go all the way to tunnel top to do their shopping. There is no speed train and the city doesn't need more million dollar studio apartments. Biden and Harris have 50 days to figure out where that 6b is coming from. We don't need any more office space and no one can afford restaurants as it is. This is the most delusional SF story I've seen this year.
You visit in conjunction with visiting the park. Just like all the people that go to Il Parco that's at the Tunnel Tops, or do their grocery shopping after hanging out at Crissy Field or Marina Green. People drive, there's parking. Who takes a train to go grocery shopping?
“SF Bouncing Back” … ? Sad to say, that is just delusional …every major blue city in the US is dying …still …Won’t change til the politics does. This from someone working in real estate in SF. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news ….unfortunately. BTW properties, SFR, condo & 2-4 unit beds, are commonly selling for less than they did up to 5 years ago …not seen in San Mateo or Marin Counties, at all … Class A commercial properties, the best, vacancy is equivalent to over 21 vacant Sales Force towers …think about that …visualize that … “As we outlined yesterday, the amount of vacant office space in San Francisco now totals over 29 million square feet, having increased by over a million square feet in the first quarter of this year despite the “AI Boom!” Please use critical thinking …
An incoherent rant from someone who doesn’t know how to use ellipses. SFH home prices are still up. People that work in real estate are morons that are a burden on people trying to buy property. Good job getting 3% for doing basically nothing
the parking lot behind mission rock really needs to go. its an eyesore. the 1st part of mission rock is dope. amazing park, cool buildings. but then you walk like, 50 yards and you see that sea of asphalt. its disgusting.

👏🏻👏🏻 agree. It’s going to be a big, positive addition for that side of the city.
This format is really helpful. Live here and appreciate the summary of developments that are coming.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I love this city. So good to see it bouncing back and to get info on future progress. Thanks for the video!
🔥🔥 yes! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🙏🏻
great roundup -- super exciting to see these improvements coming to SF!!
Thanks Albert! Appreciate you 🙏🏻
Thanks for the updates! Love your videos :-)
Appreciate you 🙏🏻
Anything news on SF Westfield Center?
Nothing firm yet. Def keeping an eye on that one.
Love your content!
Appreciate you!
Love the AI focus! Terrific video and info! Thanks so much!!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Austin!! This is your former Equator barista, Spencer! Hope you’ve been well, wild to see you on my recommended page hahaha
OMG haha amazing. Hope you're doing well too!! 👋🏻
its a great time to buy!

Any news on the candlestick area?
I believe they just gained some approvals earlier this month
Thanks for the update. Anything new on north waterfront?

Do you have any information about the big new development near the "East Cut", at the spot where the old bus station used to be?
The affordable housing one? London Breed just posted about it. Not sure if you mean this one or a different one though. instagram.com/p/DAEZWa0Skdm/?hl=en&img_index=2
What about the homeless, garbage and crime?
I'm interested in the AI companies that leased nearly 2 million square feet of office space. Is that in downtown buildings that are currently empty? Revitalizing the Financial District is important to the health of the city. Once that happens, the vacant storefronts can fill up so that the area will be as vital as it used to be.
Salesforce tower, Uber headquarters, and several other smaller spaces in downtown/central waterfront areas
@austinklar The Salesforce Tower is in SOMA. Uber is in Mission. They are not in the Financial District, that is NOMA, North of Market.
They just finished a $400 million refurbishment of the Transamerica Pyramid.
Any jobs?
Affordable housing?
Mobile home/homeless car parks?

Go ask the mayor about it ? This is a positive video and not a problem video .

There’s an update that just came out this month, let the man Austin work on his magic to bring us a video

@stealth_chain Pathetically small? What drugs are you doing? SF is bigger by 13 Sq miles.
What happened to Candlestick project
Working on an update for it
_We need more pickleball courts_ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Haha I’ve still not played here. Need to get on that
High speed rail has been an enormous failure of government spending.
Glad the other projects are more manageable.
Hope so!
Need to make affordable housing in SF
They are
Need to make smaller homes that can be bought and sold at market prices ... let the system work.
@@WestCoastWalker-zj6obI have no issues with smaller homes. But they probably wont be anywhere close to the pricing of affordable housing. And even if they were, that small of a home wouldn’t work for families.
All these other countries have high speed rail (Japan) and we're still slaves to the oil companies😢
It's not the oil companies. It's mostly farmers and greedy cronies of government officials that want their cut.
Can't get here soon enough
Are they putting the syringes on the ground in the original build or will wait for them to accumulate naturally
Thanks for watching!
I hope this means the city is turning around. I didn’t know they were doing all this. What do they mean by affordable housing? Is it income limitations for the select few or housing that is less expensive so people who can’t afford a house can?
Its income limits based on AMI (Area Median Income). So some you can’t make more than 100% of that, 80%, 50%. Different units for different levels.
@austinklar the problem is you can't sell those houses at market prices so they aren't a good investment ....
@@WestCoastWalker-zj6obyes, but they let you buy them at absurdly low prices. Affordable housing isn’t meant to be some sort of windfall profit maker.
These are all small projects. Nothing Big maybe you should converse with the trade union’s
You got something bigger than the $100 billion railway and a multi billion 20 year housing development? Let me know would love to cover them.

A mall without a parking lot will end up like the Westfield mall
There will be parking lots. In garages and underground.
question? where and what will be with the homeless folks?

More and more developments, some homelessness and car break-ins, that will change things lol

That’s all part of their plan. It’s being done in phases.
