San Fran is just reverting back to San Fran pre tech bro era, and the gentrimmigrants are baffled.
It's interesting to see so much 'the city is changing' type messaging when this is just how San Fran has always been.
Thanks for your stay, we hope you had a good time. Try not to get stabbed or shot on your way out.
- jquery 3y ago"gentrimmigrants", may I borrow that?
- taxyz 3y agoGrew up in the area and lived in SF for years. I, too, hated all those good paying jobs coming into the city bringing in all those people who were annoyed by our crime and shit-on-the-street ways! We really need to keep anyone out if where they currently live has inferior economic opportunities, amirite? On the real though, this pining for SF's old status quo because it fulfilled some weird grunge fantasy is just getting old. Yeah SF was a grimy, shitty, somewhat cheap place to live filled with equally shitty art and crap bands. It was shitty all the way from the 1960's until the early 90's when a homeless guy wandered in the TV repair shop we were at in the mission and pulled a knife and me and my brother while my dad was at the counter. Maybe it was great before then and maybe a lot of the people there want it to be better. Sorry if you don't get what you want. Bee Tee Dubs, bro, people from or who live in SF don't call it San Fran.
- proc0 3y agoI lived there around 2005, only the mission and tenderloin where remotely dangerous to what seems to be 80% of the city now. I'm pretty sure there have been tangible changes to how the city is managed. Most cities didn't get this problem after the pandemic so that can't be the only factor. Regardless "reverting back" is not a good sign.
