More Than Half of San Francisco Stores -- 54% -- Are Closed, And Many Are Never Re-Opening
San Francisco has draconian shutdown orders, even though it has a relatively low COVID infection rate.
Doesn't matter. This is an opportunity for leftwing authoritarians to show how "tough" they are. But they don't show they're tough on crime. They show off how tough they are on law-abiding, economically-productive citizens. That'll show them!More than half of all storefronts in San Francisco are no longer in business due to COVID-19, according to the survey by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. "The survey showed only 46 percent of storefront businesses in San Francisco that were open at the beginning of the pandemic are still operating," said Jay Cheng, spokesman of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.I got that from nerd-culture Youtuber Nerdrotic, who himself just fled San Francisco. He and his family were forced to leave -- his wife's previously-hopping hair salon has been forced into shutdown for months and months. He's moving to Texas, after a short stay in San Diego. He mentioned that when he was trying to rent a Uhaul for his move, there were 4-6 week waits for Uhauls. That's how in-demand they are. That's how many people are fleeing San Francisco, forever. (He got a Uhaul by driving 90 minutes outside of San Fransisco to find one outlet that had one to rent.) I mention this because New York City is now experiencing huge lines to rent Uhauls.

I didn't watch the Biden speech but just got a text of a clip where his dementia kicked in when he tried to talk about Covid. As far as I can figure he was trying to say over 100 thousand deaths and mumbled 'Covid has taken uh over...a hundred years ...look..here...look ..just think about it..'

And if they didn't, then it's the seriousness of the charge.

Anecdata: Someone on twitter put up a tweet that said got cold called by a recruiter that started with this employer requires that you move to San Francisco, will that be a problem? I feel sorry for that recruiter.
All the replies were variants of there's no way I'll ever take another tech job that requires me to be in the office, let alone move to SF.
As I said, anecdata, but there's a ton of actual data out there about houses going for massive amounts over listing price sight unseen in the Lake Tahoe area.
The guy who wrote the NYC is dead column said in it they rented their place in FL based only on pictures because if they didn't move fast, there would be nothing left to rent.

Only COVID, or also the new DA, Chesa Boudin, who thinks it's OK to shoplift and mot prosecute as a form of "restorative justice"??
I think that's a lot of it - when you announce that property crimes are "crimes of poverty", and make it clear that you're not going to prosecute shoplifting, it becomes almost impossible for a low-margin retail business to operate.
Car break-ins are absolutely rampant in San Francisco, particularly in tourist areas, and Chesa's Big Idea to solve this is to provide car owners with discounted window glass replacement services.
I'm not making this up.

I've had good luck so far every time I've changed jobs or moved.
Got out of the Army about a year before they started kicking officers out, which meant I found a job quickly rather than competing with everyone else.
Left my contractor position just as the contract started to get wonky, and apparently everyone else left shortly after I did.
Left California two years ago, which means I wasn't trapped in Santa Barbara while the Kung Flu shutdown was going on.
We'll see about this latest move...

And I'll bet you that where ever they move they vote for assholes like DeCommio over and over again.

Greetings:
Me, I''m wondering if the media will label this "White Flight 2.0" or perhaps "Ethnic Cleansing Again" or even "Class Cleansing".
Those media folks do have a way with words. Almost poetic they are.

It's like most of the Blue cities are looking like the last scene in Animal House, with ROTC Kevin Bacon screaming "ALL IS WELLLL!!"
And it isn't going to stop after November.
The Left in power refuses to protect citizens any more.
Only dirtbags and losers.
Yes, there is an answer for this, too.
But very few are going to like it.

They think the fact that you can't raise a family in CA on a middle class salary is because of property prices or something, they never put it all together.

Here in Commiefornia, Governor Hair Helmet has decreed that salons and gyms can re-open. However, if you are located in a high risk area, you must ply your trade outdoors. So gyms have dragged their exercise equipment out into their parking lots (6 feet apart, natch) and under canopies. Why under canopies? Because it's still Summer and it's a hundred fucking degrees outside.

For the moment. It takes time for the hidden inefficiencies and the flaws in the system to become apparent. I imagine that sometime in the spring we'll see a shift back towards offices, although it won't fully recover. Probably a more dispersed model, combined with increased use of telework as a reward for good workers/experienced employees.

>>I think that's a lot of it - when you announce that property crimes are "crimes of poverty", and make it clear that you're not going to prosecute shoplifting, it becomes almost impossible for a low-margin retail business to operate.
Car break-ins are absolutely rampant in San Francisco, particularly in tourist areas, and Chesa's Big Idea to solve this is to provide car owners with discounted window glass replacement services.
I'm not making this up.

Yiiiikes.
I recall seeing video of shoplifters walking into a CVS and just brazenly fillg up their bags (maybe 3 of them?) and walking out. You can empty out a store like that if the bar is $1k or more before you prosecute, and you have a group of friends.
Yes, how could any business sustain that kind of open, large-scale theft when it no doubt happens again and agian.

and make it clear that you're not going to prosecute shoplifting, it becomes almost impossible for a low-margin retail business to operate.
I was trying to find a solution for brick and mortars on how to deal with the new dynamic reparations that are in effect in Communist run cities and counties where the approved class of criminals can loot upwards of $800-$1000 per incident before a prosecutor considers action.
Redesign buildings to allow entry only through turnstiles after face recognition software determines that you are not on a watch-list.
Initially anyone can enter, and due to the huge number of cameras within a store, identifying shoplifters is quite easy and storing those images and forwarding the templates to allied businesses will permit others to flat out ban the entry in to those stores.
When the perp whines about it, invite them into a sitting room, replay the video footage of the theft and then give them options.
This is expected to be a cooperative system where the customer agrees to not hide behind hoodies, masks and glasses to frustrate identification systems.
I can't think of a medical reason why someone should dress like a bank robber to honestly pick up some groceries or hardware.

Most people now have internet that is high speed enough to do video conferencing and file sharing and the like. Even a few years ago that wasn't the case.
Commercial real estate was already on some shaky ground. All of this? Is going to put a stake in it.

That's the uhaul on 23&11th ave. I used to go there when we moved saws and stuff around the city; very handy for lower Manhattan, Brooklyn and the east side. End of the month they would have nothing because thats when people's rents expired, otherwise, i could walk up for any truck. The west side from 23rd street to 38th street has been completely rebuilt but is now just another NYC shithole.

San Fran is a really nice place to live as far as the weather goes.

This idea that people fleeing these blue states because of crime, high taxes, etc only to vote the same way in a red state is just crazy talk.

If it IS largely a middle-class exodus then I have some optimism that this is the case. The middle class is more politically reachable I think. They work, look at their paychecks, and generally live normal lives.

Me? I won't even change planes in California if I can possibly avoid it.
I had a tax issue with California as a non-resident a few years ago, and the tax form asked how many days I had spent in California the prior year.
I could easily see California collecting information on conventioneers and people traveling on business trips to California, and then trying to charge California income tax for the days they spend in California.

A widowed neighbor has sadly had to put her house on the market.
Good news was that it was on a market for a total of two days, but really only one because she put it up for sale @ $860k ... and had a cash offer for $1M within 12 hours - sight unseen. New York couple relocating supposedly.
This new couple will be immediate neighbors with another New Yorker who already owned the house next door - as a vacation property - but has permanently relocated here. Oh this same guy bought the house NEXT to his vacation-now-permanent home and moved his daughter and her husband in ... from San Francisco.
Then there's my neighbor two doors down, who is also from NYC and permanently relocated up here to their vacation home.
It's a firesale right now up here in Maine. My friend who is a real estate agent has said that I could get $1.3M for my house no sweat - which is approximately twice what I paid for it in 2016.

I was quietly watching the A's through the short season despite the ever-present BLM tag on the Coliseum mound.
And then they did the walk off thing with Houston the other day which led into a double header of two 7 inning games and then one person tested positive for corona.
Yeah, I put up with a lot of shit and then it all came crashing at once. I finally hit my breaking point with baseball.

When we moved from Connecticut to Kentucky in 2012 we had to pay a Southbound premium then, pretty sure it is way worse now to move out of NYC.
$76 IIRC in addition to the rental and we were only allowed to keep the trailer for 4 days. If we went over that amount of time stuff started doubling.

Only 54% are closed? looking around, I would have estimated 70% at least are closed.
It's got to be 70% in some surrounding cities as well.
For a while there, in April and May, it was more like 95%. The ONLY stores open were supermarkets, banks and hardware stores. Everything else -- shuttered by law.
Then they briefly cancelled the shutdown -- and then Re-imposed it. So in theory, now, only "essential" businesses are supposed to be open. (That is, marijuana shops, sex toy outlets, and abortion clinics. The essentials.) So I'm surprised that 46% are now open.

This covid thing is becoming serious bullshit. When I was at the MoMe we had to wear a mask to get TO the table at the bar we went to on friday, and then the mask came off once you got to your table. Nobody in the place had a mask on at their tables. WTF was the point? Then on saturday I went to the local guitar center to check on a guitar I was thinking of for my father's birthday. I practically had to make a frigging appointment to touch one. I had to wait for somebody to take the guitar off the wall, then clean the guitar. I said screw it, because I would also need to plug it into an amp and figured that would be another ordeal. I went into the acoustic room just to try a classical guitar since I haven't played classical in 5 years and wouldn't need the amp. I had to wait for that one to get cleaned, and it was the biggest piece of shit I ever played, and I figured ok screw this, I'm not waiting for them to do a frigging exorcism on another, so I put it down and split. They way I normally run the racks would have taken all day with that shit. Its really stupid out there.

And now they're all going into the incinerator, because of a freakout over Kung Flu and then some BLM fascists. Very sad.

Shibumi is from suburban Detroit. We were talking about this a few weeks ago. It used to be a common topic among adults (her parents, back in the 1970's) in the Detroit suburbs. "When did you move out of Detroit?"
A lot of people waited too long, and got NOTHING for their houses that they left.
This exodus is not some fad. It's the real thing.
And PS
I think the Antifa/BLM stuff is going to be with us for a LONG time. Like the +70 years that the "Palestinians" have been hanging onto the Lost Lands of Palestine, and pestering / terrorizing the Israeli Jews.

If Trump and the GOP win big this November, I would love to see them announce that the Census Bureau is going to conduct another national Census in 2021, and that this one will ask about immigration status.

Initially anyone can enter, and due to the huge number of cameras within a store, identifying shoplifters is quite easy
Or you can do the Costco approach - you have a guard check your receipt against the goods in your cart before you leave the store.
The two problems with this are first: of course you can't do anything if someone just runs out of the store, since you'll be prosecuted if you try to stop them.
Second, California would simply ban receipt-checking if numerous stores started doing that.

Two days have gone by and Portland police officially announce they have "no suspects" in the murder investigation of a Patriot Prayer member in Portland -- this according to CNN today.
Portland Police also refuse to release images of persons of interest from the numerous videos and photographs of the shooting on to their official Twitter page and .gov website. This despite a request on August 30 for more information from the public made on those sites.
Just more confirmation of a two tiered justice system and that ANTIFA has the mob's veto on law enforcement in Portland.

James Altuchar wrote a very good and widely quoted piece on this topic about 2 weeks ago. He went through all the many problems, the reasons people were leaving, and then he concluded that the biggest reason people would not be coming back was Bandwidth.
Financial companies and traders used to need to be close to the action to be a part of it - now, net bandwidth is so high, there's no need. In days past, there was high level entertainment in NYC that was nowhere else; with high bandwidth, it's everywhere. All the things that once made NYC special were now available everywhere, especially from a business POV, and having left, everyone who has left is quickly realizing there's no reason to go back and face the many intolerable problems there.
And there's an even worse multiplier at work - the people leaving are the skilled, the wealthy, the ones who have both the means and the talent to clear out and quickly build new lives. Who's that leave behind? The unskilled, the sick, the unmotivated, the criminal element, the underclass. As the productive element leaves, the group remaining on balance becomes ever more dysfunctional and self destructive.
Look no farther then Baltimore, this process has already happened there.

Weaning is hard: "The US Open is going on right now in Queens. No fans. It's killing me not watching but I'm sure it is killing others to boycott the other sports ball and puck games. It has to be done."
From Breitbart: Brad Alberts, the CEO of the NHL's Dallas Stars, said that his team is losing a growing number of season ticket holders over the team's vocal support of Black Lives Matter.
But, losing customers does not appear to be a big enough reason for Alberts to change anything.
[...]
Alberts added that the loss was both from individual fans and companies that had previously purchased season tickets. But he hastened to add that they had not lost any advertisers."
Now think about that calculus. CEO is less concerned about loss of fans than he is about loss of advertising. He seems to think that a) advertising money will continue without fans, and that antagonizing fans is the right strategic move because advertising is his real target market.
Seems like a business executive who is a) hired above his business acumen and b) not that much a fan of the sport.
Oh well, put another sport on the bonfire.

And then they did the walk off thing with Houston the other day which led into a double header of two 7 inning games and then one person tested positive for corona.
Yeah, I put up with a lot of shit and then it all came crashing at once. I finally hit my breaking point with baseball.

Yet - whenever it's mentioned to get the Hell out of these places - the responses run from "Fuck you, I was here first" to "But I like it here" to "It's not that easy to leave".
Folks - the sorting is happening now. Not choosing is still a choice.

Nurse says she says her stomach hurts and she feels kinda weak. Niece says, oh she got her period this morning...I'll bring some Advil. She gets to the school and they're sending her home because she has 'covid symptoms'. My niece lost it..."she has CRAMPS!" Nope...take her to get tested.
She takes her last Thurs to get tested. Test comes back Friday...negative. School won't let her back for A WEEK!

Tom Servo: "As the productive element leaves, the group remaining on balance becomes ever more dysfunctional and self destructive."
And that's why there's going to continue to be a push to force Section 8 and high-density housing into the suburbs from here on out. The suburbs will be the last remaining nexus of more readily available liquid capital for regional government. Government wants its money but doesn't want its voice. The only way to hijack its voice and redistribute its wealth is to alter the voting demographic. "Locust" remains the proper terminology.

My company has had almost 100% of the employees in the NYC work from home since mid March. That is a little over 1,000 employees. The only people that have come in during that time has been some IT people and some of the management. We are a small French bank with US offices in NYC, Houston and LA.
I went in one Friday about 2 weeks ago. There were only 25 people that came in that day. They are trying to start getting people to start going back to the office on a volunteer but I do not think they are getting the response they are hoping for.There are people like me who will go back to the office at least 3 times a week or more if wanted, but there will be others that will not go back until it is "safe". And there are ones who like working from home because others cannot see what they are doing all day.
NYC is going down the drain with Comrade DeBolshevik. It will take decades and another Rudy Giuliani to bring this city back.

I guess good riddance, but how will the remaining urban dwellers like myself pay for the necessary city services (like gay bathhouse inspectors).
Eh, nevermind, I figured it out, we just need to increase immigration levels and lower corporate tax rates and everything will be all better.

Just more confirmation of a two tiered justice system and that ANTIFA has the mob's veto on law enforcement in Portland.
A year ago in Portland, an Antifa person was run over and killed near the Antifa bar after a dispute with a group of people in a car (likely a drug deal gone bad). His two friends fired shots at the car, the car crashed, and the occupants of the car took off on foot.
Portland Antifa told everyone not to cooperate with the police investigation, and Ted Wheeler released a statement saying what a fine, upstanding young man the deceased was.
Despite having the car, and two witnesses who fired at the car, the Portland police have yet to make a single arrest.

>>I think that's a lot of it - when you announce that property
crimes are "crimes of poverty", and make it clear that you're not going
to prosecute shoplifting, it becomes almost impossible for a low-margin
retail business to operate.
Car break-ins are absolutely rampant in San Francisco, particularly
in tourist areas, and Chesa's Big Idea to solve this is to provide car
owners with discounted window glass replacement services.
I'm not making this up.

I recall seeing video of shoplifters walking into a CVS and just
brazenly fillg up their bags (maybe 3 of them?) and walking out. You can
empty out a store like that if the bar is $1k or more before you
prosecute, and you have a group of friends.

New Emerson poll: Trump now has the approval of 19% of blacks, 37% of Hispanics, and 9% of those who voted for Clinton in 2016.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at August 31, 2020 05:29 PM (unn44)
That 9% coincides with my analysis a few months ago (which I can't find) where I decided that Trump gains 4 million votes from 2016, minimum. If he takes *5%* of Hillary voters, that's 3 million votes right there.
Then say he loses a million of his own (call it people who hated Hillary), and gains 2 million from new voters and people who voted "other" in 2016. That's 4 million, total, which would make for a popular vote total of nearly 67 million.

My daughter's college wants you to come and live on campus - but the courses remain mostly online - no sports, no campus activities, discouraged to eat in groups and encouraged to eat alone in your room. So, pay full tuition plus room and board and then sit in your lonely jail cell all day. Actually worse that jail, at least the book cart comes round in the pen and you have an exercise yard and its all free...so yeah, jail is nicer.

There's no point for the big cities to even exist anymore. This country urbanized because there was a promise of good-paying jobs in the factories if people left the farms and towns and headed to the cities.
Now all those jobs have been sent to China. What do the cities have to offer now, except living stacked like chickens in cages, crime, hellish traffic, and poverty?

It used to be in the past that generally even if you had Democrats in charge, you could make a living and have a family in a city. Yeah, the policies sucked, the services were not great, and the taxes were high, but you could make it work.
This new wave of super radical leftists is another beast entirely. Crap on the streets, criminals walking free, riots without any response, thugs beating people on the streets, people being harassed for being a certain race or gender, free speech being criminalized, the list goes on and on.
They've gone from being bad policy to being actively, deliberately destructive and evil.

The AB era was destined to happen but we just ramped it up quicker.
That is rather mixed.
Yahoo, a while back, tried the remote worker routine, and discovered that their lazy, self-indulgent, staff would screw off if not supervised. They reversed that policy soon after discovering the drop in productivity.
A company I did work with was given a contract to come up with software to detect if their off-shore employees were actually working - because there was strong suspicion that they too screwed off too much and couldn't be trusted to work without direct supervision.
Then the Wuhan Death Miasma took all of the options of working remote and made it the only available course. The difference now is that instead of these worthless Millennials being the test subjects, they now include the more industrious Gen-X and the last of the Boomers in this Grand Experiment.
Many Millennials are actually maturing now and are growing out of their slacker ways. The younger ones with their laziness, entitlement and disdain for their elders, are unemployable and are no longer a factor.
Not sure what we are going to do with this lost generation. Maybe they will die for the BLM cause.

He said, "I'm never leaving NYC. Ever."
Funny guy, but the cheap ad hominem shots he made against Altucher weren't funny, and uncalled for. Altucher is no conservative, and he made a reasoned argument for this time being different for NYC. He's got skin in the game as well, so his decamping for FL doesn't affect his tangible financial interest in the city. I'd argue that he's got more financial skin in the game that Seinfeld does, so it's even more of a cheap shot.

Spoke with a real estate agent about all this. He thought a big portion of the hot housing market was actually people wanting to get a house now in case Biden wins and the rates start going back up.
Agreed there was some flight from cities but I don't think that's currently baked in.
In other words, expect the market to get even hotter as they flee.
Good time to sell but also hard to find available houses. Not a lot of houses on spec right now.

Pro sports going full commie doesn't affect me much--I was never much of a fan of any of them. Those of you who were fans have my sympathy.
I'm still hoping college football will be watchable. Several teams had walkouts from practices last week. Others had marches and shit, but they still practiced.
I guess I can tolerate that much, but if they start on-field demonstrations and that sort of thing, I'm going to have to boycott.
I'm really hoping it doesn't come to that.

Portland Antifa told everyone not to cooperate with the police investigation, and Ted Wheeler released a statement saying what a fine, upstanding young man the deceased was.
Despite having the car, and two witnesses who fired at the car, the Portland police have yet to make a single arrest.

He said, "I'm never leaving NYC. Ever."
Funny guy, but the cheap ad hominem shots he made against Altucher weren't funny, and uncalled for. Altucher is no conservative, and he made a reasoned argument for this time being different for NYC. He's got skin in the game as well, so his decamping for FL doesn't affect his tangible financial interest in the city. I'd argue that he's got more financial skin in the game that Seinfeld does, so it's even more of a cheap shot.

Yahoo, a while back, tried the remote worker routine, and discovered that their lazy, self-indulgent, staff would screw off if not supervised. They reversed that policy soon after discovering the drop in productivity.
I suspect that work at home exaggerates the divide between the check earners and the workers. People who show up and waste as much time as possible just to get paid and people who show up raring to go and driven to do the job, and do it well.

I don't know if this is true with NCAA football, but too much celebration in the EZ and "taunting" come with penalties.
It will be interesting to see if ad hoc BLM protest interpretive dances and other stunts will receive penalties or will receive bonus points and shortened downs.

I tend to work when sick, telecommuting because it's easier to do at home and you can take a short nap as required. The biggest benefit is missing the commute, that can kill 1.5-3 hours in a day.

Any rational plan out is now impossible, because the population on balance is getting worse and worse, and worse as the productive ones leave. The only way out is what played out in Detroit - 30 years of pure dysfunction and collapse, finally bankruptcy and the appointment of of Special Master along with the abolition of all powers for the Mayor and Town Council. And then after 2 or 3 years of that, some control can start to be handed back to local officials on a limited basis, and some recovery may begin to happen slowly.
In other words, it might be a good place to invest in the 2050's. Not before.
and maybe you should wait until 2100.

I was in NYC in 2014 visiting a friend after the mayoral election and I was talking about how the city would return to the Dinkins era quickly. A older woman overheard me and berated me saying the city was in the best of hands now that Nazi-ani's (her words, I swear) legacy was over.
I think back to that and wonder what that harpie thinks now....

San Francisco has draconian shutdown orders, even though it has a relatively low COVID infection rate.
Let's face it, with all the diseases public health problems rampant in SF, Covid is small beer.

After DECADES of supporting democrats to finally achieve the utopia they intended all along. Why are the lock stepping stooges fleeing like people with their hair on fire from the utopia they supported for so long to achieve. and after decades of making fools of themselves and finally fleeing that handiwork, did their ever get smart enough to recognize the error of their ways ? ? ?

Yeah, I remember that. Incompetence, or just plain corruption?
People who support Antifa are a significant voting block in Portland - that's how you get the Soros DA, and that's how you may get the "Antifa mayor" elected in November.
70% of the population of the Portland area lives in the suburbs. If only 15% of the Portland metro population are Antifa lunatics, but they all live in the city, that's half the voters in Portland.

These people aren't coming back. It took NYC 20 years to climb out of the absolute pit it was in the 1970s.
And it took four years of Democrat rule to destroy it. This time: forever.
I kinda hope so. Insufferable prigs in general.
But. Deblasio is in his second term, no? Took a bit longer than 4 years, but why quibble.

Recently, I watched an episode of America in Color on the Smithsonian Channel.
It had film of the events surrounding the Sacco and Vanzetti trial ~100 years ago. In response to the trial and its outcome, there were violent protests not only around America, but also London, Paris, and other European cities.
"Ever that shall be that ever has been, that which has happened once shall happen again; there can be nothing new, here under the sun. Never man calls a thing new, but it is something already known to the ages that went before us; only we have no record of older days. So, believe me, the fame of tomorrow's doings will be forgotten by the men of a later time."

The housing market in Indiana is insane right now. Calling it a 'seller's market' does not do it justice.
Posted by: Citizen Cake
It appears even non-destination cities/states have a hot market also.
Suburban Columbus homes with decent schools - wait, what am I saying - systems that have imbeciles running them and offer virtual instruction for grade schoolers - even in the upper middle ranges, 500K and 600K homes, are getting showings in the dozens and multiple offers.
It is a bit of a head-scratcher for me.

It should be a law that if you are moving from a Blue State to a Red State you are not permitted to vote in local elections for at least 5 years. By that time you would have either converted or run screaming back to the shithole you left.

Instead of putting BLM slogans on jerseys and on the field, college players should be forced to take, and actually pass, a US history class and a civics class.
And not taught by Communists or Communist sympathizers.
I know, in today's college environment, try finding one of these classes NOT taught by a Communist sympathizer.
This could be more difficult to pull of than first thought.

and they actually ended up saving Arizona from going full blue while the
progressives stayed in their utopia of California and it just got

According to the survey I saw, 57% of the Californians moving to TX are conservatives. Blue voters are mostly too stupid to believe there even is a problem in CA.

This was Seattle 5 years ago.
But people are paying $700 for a case of 9mm ball ammo now, too.

Why are people leaving San Francisco?
Let me show you a map or two (the type which are unique to San Francisco):

I'm told, and choose to believe, that the rates to rent a U-Haul / Ryder / other brand of moving truck are "X" to move TO California, and about "3X" to leave CA ... and it's been this way for several years.

Dear sellers of the house:
This is my offer; nothing. I would appreciate it if you pay my moving costs.
Sincerely,
Michael Corleone

And because of Wuflu, people decided to buy trailers and RVs to vacation. There's a shortage of tow vehicles. It could also be because they weren't able to move cars around like normal. Still looking for a Suburban and figuring out what it would take to use the current pickup if I don't have anything else.

And with the evaporation of the tax base we will soon see SF budget cuts
the likes of which the rethuglicans have never even considered.
Demoncrats, the REAL party of smaller government.

his strange speech today

Posted by: runner at August 31, 2020 05:53 PM (zr5Kq)
I finally got to watch it - wow - Joe Biden will not be serving as President of the local Senior Citizen Action Committee much less Pres. of the US of America - the man is way, way gone. The speech was bad and, really, quite grotesque in its inference that Trump is flaming death and destruction when its the left - but Joe didn't write any of that - its his goofy dumbass team that writes stuff not ready for political prime time. But Punchy Joe slurred and stumbled his way through, sometimes simply being incoherent - it was an awful performance on a speech that should never had been made in some venue for no purpose at all - no one came and the press asked no questions - Biden is over.

The people moving out aren't moving out because of high taxes. This is different; they're seeing the city destroyed in front of their eyes.
Will they vote for the same liberal crap in their new state? Impossible to predict, but as I said, the circumstances are very different. Perhaps some eyes are opening.

Iowa State announced today they will allow 25,000 fans at first home football game. So, about the 50% capacity.
---
50% sounds pretty good. All the SEC teams are allowing 20-25%.

This time people are leaving NY due to crime, not price. A lot are still working there, hence the move to NJ. Some will now work from home indefinitely, and not just due to wuflu.
I think Wilhelm has been ruining the city for well over 4 years, hopefully they don't grant him a Bloomberg style 3rd term

The entire idea of a legal system with laws, judges, and lawyers (unfortunately) was invented by the Romans.
No one would build shops or stores in Rome because the local political thug would just steal it once it was successful. To get wealthy land owners to invest in such business they had to have a set of rules, fairly enforced, before they would risk it. The Romans invented the legal system out of necessity.
The democrats are turning the clock back in their cities to pre-Roman days. No one will build or invest in Democrat/Antifa/Media (triple repeat) cities. Democrats are trying to eliminate eliminating 2000 years of progress. The collapse of Rome led to the Dark Ages.
I see no reason why NYC, Chicago, LA, Portland, Seattle, .... should get any electrical power from fossil fuels. Turn it off. Make them Green. Make them look like N.Korea at night. The new Dark Ages.

The problem is they will infect their new places with the same idiocy that killed their old places, but it will be years before the effect is fully known so they won't care.
They foul their nests and then it's up to someone else to clean up the mess.

On New year's eve, my son rented a u-haul in Vegas to take some equipment to the bay area. The lady at the counter said that it costs 3x as much the other way.
Since I was riding with him, I asked the u-haul lady if the would pay me $200 to take a truck up to San Francisco. She actually called management to ask. They declined.
The destination shop called three times to verify that we were turning it in on time, they had a renter and a waiting list.

I'm not going to say NYC is screwed forever, but it's going to take some time. They've got Wilhelm for another 2 (3?) years. Then it's up to those voting to make sure they don't fill his spot with one of the many commies on the city council. If somehow a Republican or at least a capitalist like Bloomberg gets in, they can bring NYC back by reintroducing strong policing and creating tax incentives for companies to return.
I also think a lot will do with how quickly the housing market there collapses. The same liberals causung the collapse are tied to big money, which will probably scoop up properties when they fall a certain percentage, they'll want to then quickly turn things around so they can make billions.
NYC will return, but the unknown is how long it'll take, based on the utter stupidity of those living on its fringes.

Doubt it, as most of those leaving are probably wall street types who leaned to the right anyway. NYC may go even deeper to the left as many who can't leave are your Wilhelm and AOC voters who live of government freebies.

I feel badly for Ace and the few normal people left in NYC.
I first visited in 1999. Have a photo with my husband and sons from Statue of Liberty with Twin Towers in back ground. So glad I have that photo.
We went several times afterwards, husband's business, son and his gf's college graduation gift, etc. We always stayed in the Upper West Side. The Lucerne as a matter of fact...now one of the hotels hosting drug addicts, felons and criminals. Heaven knows, if/when they are evicted how much damage to each room and hall will be done.
I felt safe there. I got to know the neighborhood, the great Italian restaurant across the street. At the time, Filene's basement down the block, etc. The Met Art Museum, etc. Such a shame for those who lived there. We always went to the theater as well. Of course voting for Di Blabbio was not smart, etc.
I hope Ace can find a new place to live.
I never liked San Francrapo,myself. Visited once when my brother in law and beetchy wife lived there as a newlywed. Thinking food would be similar to NOLA, I was disappointed in that. Liked the redwoods. That is about it.
Sad to read that NYC may never be the same.
