It's almost haunting - The emptiness one senses walking in the once bustling city of San Francisco. Hoards of people are fleeing during the pandemic, and the proof is in the vacancy numbers. abc7ne.ws/2P5J4YK

But most of the areas are very clean unlike San Francisco.

@Betsy Bird -- people like you and your way of thinking are causing this country to collapse (and have been for sometime -- the path). First -- you can't force landlords to lower rent through government. They're private property. The only way to get landlords to lower rent is to LOWER DEMAND. The demand was there before Covid. People were willing to pay it. Blame them for their part. Americans are going to end up on the street when the world says our monopoly money isn't worth much and we lose the reserve currency. Those fantasy pensions of paying out 80 to 90 percent of final salaries are going to come to an end. It's unsustainable! Do you think the private sector can afford that? People on SS get an average of $1300 a month. Do you think public employees deserve 4 to 5 times more per month? Better wake up out of your Utopia like dreams because the chickens are coming home to roost.

This is almost three months old. I haven't been to San Francisco since before Mid-March Covid lockdown, but decided to go for a drive around the downtown. It was 5 PM on a Wednesday and there was lots of traffic on the highway in. There were very few people walking around anywhere and hardly anyone at the busiest area of Union Square and the Westfield Mall. Some storefronts were still covered with plywood except for the glass front doors and some were covered with plywood and closed for good. Most of the people walking around looked like riff-raff and the bad areas looked worse than usual. I didn't drive there very long as I saw several vehicles covered in graffiti and a late 1990s Mercedes E class sedan with all the windows and side panels smashed and the interior and engine stripped of parts. This city is dying and the realtors are in denial that prices will fall.

They're getting federal money (aka disability). She's not required to stay in a specific location. Tell them to move to somewhere cheap! Plenty of states offer homes that can be rented for 4 to 5 hundred per month! Stop with the poor leadership/gov. neglect talk. People are in charge of their own destinies and you were just provided with a viable option. WHY DON"T YOU INVITE HER TO LIVE WITH YOU AND CHARGE HER RENT????

Townsend, Brennan and Embarcadero streets, Fremont, Stuart, yeah, pretty much empty of traffic until the beginning of July, even after that, nada much.

*The flushing toilet & the sewage system were & are the NUMBER ONE solution to disease control* NYC was literally a sh!thole during the 1850s-1900s with a high population and no proper sewage system below. Cholera and various immune-system diseases were running rampant during the timeperiod as it was common practice to dump human waste onto streets and rivers. It was until the 1880s-1910s that Britain developed mass-produce flushable toilets and connect those toilets to a sewage system. NYC copy-pasted Britain, & saved/prevented the death of 100,000 to millions of lives!

Lack of Consciousness…Meditate, study, think about this…It will open your eyes to the reality of how many Americans are. Greed has overtaken the hearts of many - hearts which are or have turned cold. God created every man to have food, water and a safe shelter. Many rich techies are like “robots” already - they serve the creation (technology) rather than letting is serve them. Their mentality/mind is already *seared*. They take orders from their tech spoon-feeding companies & ignore the homeless guy on the corner who doesn’t have the money for rent or money for medicine. In a country where there are more houses than homeless people - houses that are often the ‘2nd/vacation house’ - don’t be surprised that God’s Judgement is being released.
