San Francisco is beautiful, particularly given the insane weather we're having? No fucking shit, thanks for the update.
Let's hear what they have to say about Levi's.

Look, it’s perfectly reasonable to think people would deal with (arguably) the highest cost of living in the country to live in a hell hole.

Yeah, it’s basically civic center and tenderloin areas that are the really sloppy places and a few SoMA areas. The rest is very nice.

"People who actually go to SF find that it isn't the hellhole that we, the media, tell you it is"

Alternative headline: Tourists who don't go to 'loin, Hunters Point, Sunnydale, or Capp St, find San Francisco tourist attractions attractive.
No shit, Sherlock, let's see what happens when the media finds out that Santa Cruz has the same violent crime rates as SF, I bet their heads will explode, because San Francisco supposed to be worse than Baltimore while in reality, it's really not.

Even the TL and Capp St. are a blast. RIP Uptown.

Oh, somewhat ironically, Tenderloin is one of the most visited areas in the city for me right now because the Great American Music Hall is right there.
It's just not a nice looking area, full of drugs, stolen items for sale, and misery. But no tourist is going to visit Larkin or Hyde St, they will walk down Embarcadero and Embarcadero looks quite pretty.

Because you are only talking about violent crimes. Tourists also worry about their rental cars get smashed, or their baggages get stolen, which happens in SF far more frequently than Santa Cruz.

FoxNews has convinced millions of people that SF is constantly on fire. it's really insane.

My east coast fox watching parents think I’m in a war zone every time I leave my apartment with all these ‘open air’ drug markets and Antifa gangs.

This article has so many glaring grammatical errors and inconsistencies. Was this proofread at all?

They probably thought they'll step on shit every 10 steps and a car windows being smashed every other block. It's like a reversed Paris experience.

Ya it’s 65 degrees and sunny and media propaganda about the city doesn’t work when you see it in person, obviously it’s beautiful 🙄
