I grew up in the Bay Area and go back to SF about once a year. Family lives in Vacaville. SF is decimated - businesses left, people have left, the homeless and drug usage in public (while slightly better than just a few years ago) is pathological and terrible.
It’s not the same city by any measure. It’s ok to root for the city, but calling things by their right names is the path to wisdom.
Sorry, but it’s got to hit rock bottom first before it gets better.
