Whether that is companies moving to a new state entirely, businesses deciding they don\u2019t need the office space because work from home is safer and easier, or employees decide to move away and find a new job because the downtown area is just too unpleasant, the city\u2019s core has been hollowed out.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly, the<a href=\"https:\/\/theamericantribune.com\/san-francisco-economist-predicts-permanent-scarcity-of-office-workers-amid-citys-decline\/\">office real estate market has fallen off a cliff<\/a>and numerous<a href=\"https:\/\/theamericantribune.com\/hotel-owners-forced-to-write-off-california-city-as-business-crashes-thanks-to-crime-quality-of-life-issues\/\">hotels<\/a>, harmed by people no longer wanting to visit the Haiti-esque city, are so far behind that they\u2019re collapsing under the weight of their debt and the keys are being handed over to the lenders.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the problem has gotten so severe that LinkedIn CEO Mark Beinhoff<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/16\/marc-benioff-san-francisco-never-going-back-to-way-it-was-experts-grapple-with-ghost-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recently<\/a>said that downtown San Francisco is \u201cnever going back to the way it was\u201d because of the various issues at play. Further, he advised San Francisco\u2019s disaster of a mayor, Mayor London Breed, to convert the abandoned and empty office space into housing for workers and to hire far more police officers to give visitors and workers in the city a sense of safety currently lacking.<\/p>\n<p>Advising her on that, Beinhoff reportedly<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/16\/marc-benioff-san-francisco-never-going-back-to-way-it-was-experts-grapple-with-ghost-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cWe need to rebalance downtown.\u201d That rebalance would be away from high-cost office space and toward housing and other sorts of real estate that make the city liveable for those in it.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for those stuck in the city, such a massive shift away from oligarchy and anarchy and toward a liveable city seems unlikely given the current state of things. Daud Shuja, an owner of a luxury retail shop in the city complained about its unwillingness to deal with the important issues,<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/16\/marc-benioff-san-francisco-never-going-back-to-way-it-was-experts-grapple-with-ghost-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201c<em>They just don\u2019t want to deal with the homelessness, with the environment, with the ambience<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another business owner noted that the city\u2019s well-publicized problems are steering potential visitors away from it,<a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/16\/marc-benioff-san-francisco-never-going-back-to-way-it-was-experts-grapple-with-ghost-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">saying<\/a>, \u201c<em>When you\u2019re making your plans to travel, and you\u2019re like, \u2018I\u2019ve always wanted to go to San Francisco, but I just keep reading all this stuff.\u2019 When in fact, it\u2019s beautiful. It\u2019s here to welcome you. I just hope the noise settles quickly.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that seems unlikely. For one, the formerly Golden State and its collapsing, crime-ridden cities are being used as a warning for what urban areas turn into under leftist \u201cleadership.\u201d So the reporting on the city\u2019s problems won\u2019t stop. Beyond that, however, Beinhoff is right that visitors need to feel safe and secure when they visit, rather than thinking they\u2019ll be mugged. Police officers and enforcement of the law are the way to solve the crime problem, but the city seems to be tacking in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press, surprisingly, agreed with Beinhoff on what is wrong with and could save the city. In a report on the disaster that is San Francisco,<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/san-francisco-downtown-retail-exodus-6c956f6f219a25aafd292f567a45a302\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">noted<\/a>: \u201c<em>San Francisco has become the prime example of what downtowns shouldn\u2019t look like: vacant, crime-ridden and in various stages of decay.
