I never totally understood the attraction to it. Come live here in Baltimore. Plenty of tech jobs and a nice home in the city will cost 300k.
Isn’t Baltimore one of the most violent cities in the United States?

how is SF still so valuable if so much is going wrong
Because there are two cities: One of the ultra-rich and one for every one else. If you take your Maserati or Model X from your garage to an underground parking lot with a security guard, you don't care that there are thefts happening on the streets. Similar reasoning applies for every other issue people complain about. Don't like open-air markets for selling stolen goods in the Mission District? Simply don't go there…

Lot's of people applying for CCW (gun carry permit) because they feel unsafe and it is near impossible to get one in SF city.
I am going to be following suit, I purchased a gun last year and going to apply for a CCW, but seems like the waiting list is 3 years and they are actively rejecting Bruen ruling by SCOTUS.

I think the poster is implying that they don’t find San Francisco to be a particularly desirable place to live compared to other places.
I used to go for walks around my SF apartment in the Tenderloin. To keep myself entertained, I'd count the number of poops I saw on the sidewalk.
Were you aware that the Tenderloin is, ya know, what it is, before you got an apartment there? It's been well known as the seediest part of the city for a century or more.
