What? There's actually normal non drug addicted people in San Francisco?

[@everythingweknowaboutretail]

I was curious about your comment so I did some quick digging. According to a recent analysis by American Addiction Centers, San Francisco was actually in the top 10 list of cities with the least overall drug use. I'll leave a link here. Let me know if you have other better stats - I'd love to check them out. Thanks for watching! Link: americanaddictioncenters.org/blog/substance-abuse-by-city

I'm disappointed with this marketing. SanFran is a horrible place to vacation. Drugs, homeless everywhere. Human fecal matter everywhere. And you have the nerve to praise some restaurant that most of us could never afford.

Kim, I had a fantastic visit a few weeks ago and will be posting more videos soon. Hate to hear your visit wasn't great. When did you go?

I am a long time San Franciscan. While there are amazing places to eat for sure, there is something going on in the Downtown, Market/Mission and Tenderloin area. The tech community came, saw, conquered and left. The landlords and governing body is running this place like there is money still coming from the techies, they are hitting us in the wallet with insane housing cost, more traffic and parking fines yet not doing anything about the crime or the homelessness and open air drug market that runs from Civic Center to the Tenderloin. Something must be said about this if you are attracting tourist into San Francisco, other wise you are just giving fresh meat to the zombie apocalypse.
With all that said. I am going to go get a poor boy at Hog Oyster Company. The place is delicious.

Total misrepresentation of a once beautiful city that is now a metaphoric cesspool.
Propaganda at it's finest.
