What evidence do you have that the city was better 20 to 30 years ago?

  There is no lack of evidence. There are thousands of video records taken in San Fran 25-30 years ago. You won't see a city filled with vagrants and human feces. You won't see trash filled-streets or sidewalks lined with makeshift shelters. It certainly wasn't perfect (no city is) but it wasn't the open sewer it is today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0t9ogfCI3E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0t9ogfCI3E

    This video only shows me what it looked like at a point in time years ago. It's not a comparison to the current situation. Crime is at historic lows for both property and assault in 2020. I know it went in 2021 but not enough to make the data show San Francisco is worse now than in the 80s, 70s , or 60s. https://www.ppic.org/publication/crime-trends-in-california/ https://www.ppic.org/publication/crime-trends-in-california/

      You can believe statistics or your lyin' eyes.
