Welcome to San Francisco!

A couple of my colleagues are in San Francisco right now for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons annual convention…

They’ve already reported seeing homeless defecating in the streets and urinating in trash cans, near the convention center. What a great look for all of the domestic and international elite medical professionals attending the event.

The owner of two, thousand-room-plus hotels in San Fran says he’s going to walk away from the $750M loan on the properties because “…we believe San Francisco’s path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges - both old and new…”

The Hilton Union Square claims to be the biggest hotel west of Las Vegas, and nearby Parc 55 sounds like it‘s nearly as big. The owner, Park Hotels and Resorts, ceased making loan payments. I don’t know who the lender(s) is(are), but I’m sure they are serenely receiving the news that they are about to claim unproductive collateral surrounded by a sea of **** and mental illness and industrial scale crime.

But the good news is the city will have more facilities to house the homeless! Win-win!

Hmm. The brakes on my truck have been functional but not fully for going on two years now. Maybe I should just stop making payments since its no longer working out how I'd like. This story is a great example of why I could never succeed in business and I knew it from a very early age.

That said, I'm having a difficult time faulting the guy too much for abandoning a responsibility he willingly accepted, the ugly part of me could justify it pretty easily given the situation. Perhaps someone with the means to borrow, and walk away from $750 million dollars should have spent a bit less time "businessing" and a little more time contributing and may have prevented the insanity which ruined his investments from coming to fruition.

San Francisco: just another formerly great American city ruined, probably beyond recovery, by Democrats! Come to think of it, it’s part of a long list of cities that Democrats have turned into $hitholes.

I used to go to AAOS every year, glad I missed this one!

First time for me in SF was 1994. It was weird then

My first and only time in SF was 1980 on the way to Okinawa. Spent two days walking around the city before I got on a bus to Travis AFB. I was really weird then and cannot imagine how bad it is now.

It's only going to get "better".

They just appointed a Chinese national to the election commission in San Fran.

Kelly Wong's appointment is the result of a 2020 voter-approved measure that removed the citizenship requirement to serve on San Francisco boards, commissions and advisory bodies.

So now we have non citizens running elections?

Wonder which china she belongs to?

Many if these are liberal run companies. Can’t believe they are running away from the decisions made by their party of choice.

Macy's supports BLM, and many other woke ideologies. Now it's hurting them.

If they just keep forcing things hard enough I'm sure their utopia will burst forth any minute now. The left is clearly on a superior path towards a brighter future where nothing matters but that we're all equal. Equally ignorant, equally hungry, equally enslaved and equal in our perpetual anger and victim mentality. It's going to be magnificent.

 

[Leadeye]

With luck their utopia will end at the city limits.

If they just keep forcing things hard enough I'm sure their utopia will burst forth any minute now. The left is clearly on a superior path towards a brighter future where nothing matters but that we're all equal. Equally ignorant, equally hungry, equally enslaved and equal in our perpetual anger and victim mentality. It's going to be magnificent.

And yet.. people will tell them that their policies will result in everyone being poor.
And they will deny it.
And then everyone will be poor.
And then they will cry, how could anyone know that would happen.
Even though everyone told them.

Repeat over and over

As first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, Google plans to depart from its 300,000-square-foot office in One Market Plaza’s Spear Tower within the next year. This is the first time in Google has been reported to be entirely leaving a building in San Francisco, even as the tech giant has moved to cut over a million square feet of office space elsewhere in the Bay Area

Well that seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it? Don't like the Progressive "paradise" they helped bring about? Or is it, our job is done here, time to screw up another city?

The city will probably try to fine them for leaving, like other places in California

I'm completely against that, but for Google I'll make an exception
