> The Tenderloin is bad, and I had my scooter stolen

Is there anything worth blogging about here? The linked article is more interesting.

This person spent a few weekends in SF a decade ago and doesn't recognize their "once-beloved city".

This is entirely how I remember SF being 10 years ago as well. I don’t doubt that the pandemic has been hard on all cities, but I agree that the author is making a big assumption based on a tiny sample.

SF is so much worse than it was 10 years ago. 10 years ago you could still find people that haven't had their car windows smashed. These days I doubt you'll find someone that hasn't had their car windows smashed less than several times.

10 years ago, everyone I knew had had their car windows smashed. I’m not sure this is true.
