I feel you are moving the goal posts. The "doom loop" narrative only emerged in the last few months. Lots of problems existed for a long time. Affordability is one. Smash and grab at tourist spots is another. Homelessness. Drugs in the tenderloin. All old problems. Then there are the pandemic problems, and relatedly, lack of demand for office and retail. But there are a bunch of false narratives that SF suddenly became mad max in the last 3 years. That what the people who bring "doom loop" into literally every SF discussion seem to be on about. I suspect the person I replied to is thinking of this.
