[4K] Is San Francisco's Market Street infested with homeless & drug addicts? See for yourself.

I walk Market Street almost on a daily basis. I also take public transportation, i.e. BART & Muni regularly as well. What you see on the video has been the condition since after the COVID pandemic. And i'm glad that people have been coming back despite negative press about San Francisco!

Is it dirty? Filthy? Unsafe with unhoused people & drug pushers & addicts? I'll leave the answer to you. I'd want to say though that I'm a well-travelled person. I especially love clean, safe and organized cities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Makati City & BGC in the Philippines, etc. What do they do to keep these cities safe and clean?

On the other hand, romanticized cities like Paris, London, New York, Toronto, etc. are equally, if not more problematic than San Francisco. But then again, it's easier to make fun at San Francisco, just because. I don't want to think that most of these negative things thrown at San Francisco are comng from a place of jealousy. But I think it is because San Francisco is fre@kin' awesome! There's so much to not like about this city but there's much, much more to love about her. For now I'm staying and not going anywhere. Do not believe the news that San Francisco is in a doom loop. San Francisco is thriving! This is a welcoming and compassionate place where everybody is welcome.
