It's amazing how much San Francisco, let alone all of California has fallen off through the years. You have prime real estate and land/environment and you let it ALL go to waste.
Apparently, these restaurants and stores were significant for San Fransisco's sNob Hill and have since gone the way of the dinosaurs.
Nob Hill is a neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States[4][5] that is known for its numerous luxury hotels and historic mansions. Nob Hill has historically served as a center of San Francisco's upper class. Nob Hill is among the highest-income neighborhoods in the United States, as well as one of the most desirable and expensive real estate markets in the country.[6][7][8][9] Prior to Covid-19, it was the most expensive real estate market per metre squared, narrowly beating Monte Carlo, although it has since fallen heavily.[10][11] It was the only place in the United States so far where market price per square metre exceeded the average yearly salary in the country ($72 400).
Nob Hill is a luxury destination in San Francisco, owing to its numerous Michelin-starred restaurants,[12] boutiques, cultural institutions, art galleries, and historic landmarks.[13][14] The neighborhood is named after one of San Francisco's original "Seven Hills" and it contains the Lower Nob Hill Apartment Hotel District (also known as Lower Nob Hill).
I lived around and at times in SF for 10 years. Left in 2014. Went back to visit recently it is fucking incredible how drastically things have devolved. It used to be tenderloin and hunters point were the bad spots. But, compared to Tampa and Atlanta hoods, they felt tame. Now... That shit (also literal shit) has spilled out all over the city. It just feels like Detroit 2.0 is coming. (or here already)
The tech bros over-bubbled the markets, forced out the working class. Except for the rent controlled squatters, so you had this massive contrast. Tech bros are at work all day, and loners/no community at home. So the streets are left to the hordes. Throw in fentanyl and legal theft, covid authoritarianism smashing 5 out of 6 small businesses, most of which needed the rich tech bros to function... Once critical mass of them started working remote and moving out to the far suburbs like Fairfield, i think that was the deathblow.
Huge dem bureaucracies have no agility or ability to adjust, to fix things. They always address the wrong, surface level shit that you can virtue signal off of. Policies crushing all small business? Meh. Small business leave? Food desert! Why would huwhite supremes do this! We'll throw a billion at minority owned businesses, via a charity my cousin set up, of course she has a 95% administration overhead, but she is doing so good for her community.. which happens to be in Martha's Vineyard, but.. you're a bigot.
I used to go yearly for various tech conferences (so maybe I was unknowingly part of the problem) and it was depressing as hell to see how every year it was worse than the year prior. Haven't been in 5 years or so and I don't think I'd ever have interest in going again. Absolutely great city that has gone to shit.
Attention "liberators"! All the good ice cream in the low lands is locked down. There's one mansion in Pacific Heights where this crazy old hwyte lady has a huge stockpile!
What a bunch of Nobs.

By design. Loads of empty buildings to fill up with potential voters who will live off the governments teet.

And prior to Democrat rule.

Nob Hill has been over for a while.
