San Francisco’s population more than doubled during the working day. Those people are no longer going into the City.
Restaurants and other businesses downtown and in the SOMA are not going to be able to replace that business. You can’t really live outside SF and order from restaurants there.
Most of those restaurants will have to move if they can. That is sure to be very costly. I wonder what happens if the restaurants break leases.
The to go restaurants in residential neighborhoods outside SF are actually doing well. One hole in the wall restaurant we frequent can’t handle the additional business and got rid of the 3 entree deal because it was so popular. The sit down restaurants are not doing that well but hopefully that will change with the end of COVID-19.
- vmception 6y agoYeah you’re right, some neighborhoods never recover. There are plenty of examples in the mid-atlantic region and San Francisco has all the same variables with an odd topping of denial. Eventually it becomes economical for some enterpriser or prideful local to offer a restuarant.
