  • Let's drive downtown San Francisco together.
    Starting Point: goo.gl/maps/6FxKWmnKQqNwtfB47
    How nice it is to drive around San Francisco during the heat wave. It was 65 degrees and at one point RAINED. Today was sunny and beautiful.
    From Treasure Island, I took the 80 over the Bay Bridge and exited on to Fremont st. and the financial district. It was a weekday so there wasn't too much traffic during the lunch hour. Of course, this doesn't include China Town which doesn't know what sleep is. Where would you live if you could live in SF? Obviously, Chinatown is your answer.
    Enjoy the drive around downtown San Francisco and watch the other and upcoming videos of San Francisco to get a fell for the greater part of the city.

      By all means come back. I have a $1.5 million condo to sell you providing you are OK with the $750 co-op fee and the greed-caused homelessness problem. Seriously.

    We were in San Francisco in March 2024. My daughter and I enjoyed the two days passes my son bought for us while he was in class training as job related for all California Public Schools, Speech Language Pathologists at Hilton Honor SF Union Squares. We took the Big Bus Tour, Hop on/off. Then we rode the rice-a-roni, the San Francisco treat, cable car. You can get off from cable car to walk down the crookiest streets. We bought some chocolate candies at Ghirardelli, $12.99 a pound, assorted chocolate. Don’t worry, there is a restroom around that area.
    Golden Gate Park has been remodeled. There were different vendors selling sausage’s sandwiches, for $10.00 a sandwich. Big cup of fresh varieties of fruits for $10.00. A bottle of water was $5.00 to $10.00. Bring your own drinks. Also restroom in the area. Bring yourself a jacket due to cold air. You can hop off anywhere but make sure to remember where to hop on. Big Bus hop on/off has their own bus stops.
    The Painted Ladies Park, the colors of the homes starting to fade away and not too colorful. We been to SF before and we saw so many places and things; so this time, we didn’t go to Alcatraz. I believe it cost $40.00 round trips on the boat ride.
    The bad smells that was coming out from the air, was sickening. The streets, sidewalks and some walking paths were nasty and filthy from human beings; old and fresh drops. The Big Bus drivers will tell you be careful in some areas especially at night. Hold on to your belongings. I expected to be crowded as it used to be, but it was not. We took Uber from-time-to-time to Chinatown to buy some pastries to bring home. Big Bus also stops here and you can walk to Pyramid.
    Today’s date is April 3, 2024, beautiful Wednesday morning in California USA 🇺🇸, Ventura County, Oxnard.

      I’m due to go to SF in September this year I’m doing a road trip ( I’m from England 🇬🇧), driving from San Diego to San Francisco. I’m looking forward to San Francisco, but I must admit, I’m hearing a lot of negativity about the city. I’m staying in Fisherman’s Wharf. I’m really looking forward t going to Muir woods, this is the main reason for my visit, which I’m sure will be great, I just hope the rest of San Francisco is as well.

      @@darthja8292 That's awesome and you're going to be fine. I've heard some problems too about SF especially with car break ins. It's best to park in a garage if you can. Honestly through, it's pretty rare to have this sort of things happen. SD is fantastic. Muir is fantastic. I'm actually in England now. I've been traveling around London, York, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and am now in Bognor Regis. Videos coming soon :)

I remember what was there before the Trans American I remember that I saw the fence around the 8 storey and wondered what was going on and then 3 weeks later it was gone.

    So much of San Francisco has deteriorated. In fact, so badly that it's really an unsafe place to live. Yes, there are some nice streets, places to shop, get a coffee and more, but those places are starting to get rare. SF is not like it was in the 1960s. But great video. I enjoyed the ride.

      Homelessness

  • @sven888
    @sven888 Před 17 dny +1

    It is (was) a beautiful town but it's been hollowed out by greed (tech bros who only can come up with ideas that destroy jobs instead of creating them), big corps (see the soulless downtown which is semi deserted; it was once a vibrant part of the city) and liberal anything goes policies (drugs, crime, theft, car burglary, public nudity is accepted... while upright citizens almost seem to be frowned upon). As to homelessness? It is caused by the first two I mentioned. Greed is slowly devouring this once beautiful city. Sad. The emerald by the bay has lost its way. What is shocking to me is that most San Franciscans have gotten used (numb) to people living on the street. When a person who visits out of town points this out to a San Franciscan; the reply is all too often "I got used to it so perhaps I don't see it anymore". A city for trust fund kids, tech bros and the unfortunate who cannot catch up. Sorry to be so honest. People are really delusional saying it's all roses here. It really is not.

    • @ksvagabond
      @ksvagabond  Před 17 dny +1

      I appreciate the honesty. More people should act in a more productive way to bring back the city. That being said, Chinatown and North Beach seem as fun as before (10 years ago) and unphased. I might not be looking hard enough though.
