I apologize if I came off as arrogant or appearing to know more than I do. I have great memories of going there in my teens and 20’s but in hindsight a lot of those memories were from visits and stays outside of the main downtown areas so maybe my memories are skewed with the current reality of the places I’ve been recently which are admittedly the skate tourism hotspots. I do share your sentiment about the tech bros fucking the whole ecosystem, but if anything the problems facing SF are merely a symptom of a greater sickness that’s spread across the entire country. Your point about homeless migration is very true as well. Again, sorry if I was being arrogant or overly critical.
Nah, we good daddy.
You weren’t wrong in your observe: shit has been going down hill for a minute, but DOWN HILL seems pretty normal here in SF if you ride a skateboard.
But from the inside, it’s still a gorgeous city that, while losing a lot of its flavor to the real estate crunch & new residents, both housed & otherwise, continues to nurture those who know where to look to find the love & beauty.
Also, it’s pretty much a 49 square mile skatepark, so there’s THAT too.
Holler next time you’re out this way if you feel like a session.
Same goes for all you yay area heads if you want to skate. But if y’all gonna DM me, be sure to do it like a man.
