Not to state the obvious, but "a few months ago" was the height of lockdowns.

Not to state the obvious, but "a few months ago" was the height of lockdowns.
- xoxoy 6y agoI live in SF and can confirm that downtown is very dead.
- arcticbull 6y agoI live a few blocks from Union Square -- can confirm.
- papito 6y agoBut what about the residential areas? NYC is very spotty, for example. Residential areas are hopping because that's where people live and work now, and midtown is shuttered. Usual salad and coffee places near the offices have no reason to be open right now.
- mistersquid 6y agoDowntown is dead, yes, but Polk Gulch and Valencia Street (for example) are very much alive.
- xoxoy 6y agothe city is so small that any exodus of existing residents isn’t going to be that noticeable because there are still people moving here everyday. but yes the residential areas feel pretty much the same as far as crowdedness goes.
- selectodude 6y agoJuly/August? That was the low-point of lockdowns. At least here in Chicago. It almost looked like a real city for a moment there.
- qppo 6y agoThe SF Bay Area was taking the pandemic seriously in the summer.
