    I was an Urban Studies major at San Francisco State University in 1983...a group of us Urban Studies students stood on a busy financial district street corner during evening rush hour, we were tasked with counting pedestrians through a "screen line", we were collecting data for an analysis of pedestrian flow.
    ... I remember that it was almost impossible to count all of the pedestrians because of the constant flow of people on the sidewalk. Today, I will probably never return to San Francisco, a city I used to adore.

    Tadich grill is the oldest continuously running restaurant in SF but it was not always at that exact location. It burned in the earthquake and then redevelopment in the 1960’s forced it to move to its current location. Love these walking videos please continue! And the time being 4:00 was fine - commute time was from 3:00 to 7:00 back in pre-Covid times.

    I've worked in the financial district for more than 20 years. Montgomery street is always crowded with tons of people walking on the sidewalks and what not. Stores are always bustling. This scene for a weekday late afternoon is barren and pretty sad. Basically nobody is working in those buildings. Nobody is taking muni or bart into downtown financial center. Btw, I'm working remotely.

    People work virtually more than ever, with the pandemic adding more people to the ranks. The financial industry, and various other office jobs, are prime examples. Less office workers is a worldwide phenomenon. It's not that people are unemployed. Businesses are pleading for workers, it's just that work locations have changed. It's not just San Francisco. When the pandemic ends, this trend won't end. People and businesses will keep working virtually. The Tadich Grill (14:09) I have eaten at. It was several years ago for lunch during the weekend. The place was packed. I ate at the counter. Probably not as busy now, as office workers are working from home.
