San Francisco: 1.) Traffic - The traffic congestion levels are bad, it's normal to encounter traffic jams all the way to Santa Rosa or Sacramento. - Uber and Lyft, while convenient it's getting to an excessive level. 2.) Attitude - People in general have more anxiety and aggression than they used to. I think it's related to how unaffordable everything has become, everyone is "trying to make it" and few can. - Compromise, there's a lack of compromise in The City. There's the "I'm from here so I do things my way", to "This city could be more efficient and my way makes more sense". Overall there is an abundance of negativity and not much compromise on both sides. 4.) Culture - Older generations are still in the area but they're quickly leaving. Local manufacturing businesses are selling off and the older generations are going away. South San Francisco is being transformed at an accelerated rate. I expect the Trump Tariffs to increase this rate (know small business owners already impacted by them). - Young people in The City have different backgrounds, beliefs, and appearances but their primary focus is usually money and "trying to make it". Related to housing issues and lack of compromise. 5.) Homelessness - I've always respected San Francisco for being a safe haven for people unable to adjust to a "normal" society. It's been a hub for rebellion, change, and misfits. As prices rise and the rebellious culture erodes we've seen an increase in homelessness and drug addiction. No surprise, it's hard to transition to "hyper-capitalistic" San Francisco. Most people making six figures have a hard time living here. 5.) Lack of emergency awareness - The City is going to be in a lot of trouble during the next big earthquake. Do you know where your neighborhood meeting points are in case of an emergency? Gas shut off? Have emergency food provisions and water? There are less than 70 fire engines in this city. When you call 911 no one is going to respond when the "Big One" hits. There are problems but they can be solved, I think the biggest issue is lack community discussion and compromise.
