As long as it has its sweeping views of San Francisco Bay and Marin County, SF will never really be “over,’ per se. But, as the most expensive place in the country and a city increasingly becoming an industry town for tech, it’s lost a big chunk of the character that made it such a unique destination. Look no further than Giants games, where, once upon a time, guys, six-beers deep, talked about baseball in the bleachers. Now, you’ll overhear discussions of cryptocurrency and IPOs over $12 craft beers in $100 box seats. San Francisco has gone upscale, where landmark dive bars seem to close every month, replaced by a cocktail-bar-du-jour serving $20 drinks full of unpronounceable ingredients and a big garnish of pretension. That, and despite all the money, the city still hasn’t done much about its rampant homelessness problem, which seems to be the number-one observation of every new visitor after they return home.
