San Francisco was glorious.
I first went to San Francisco in 1964.
I had done a lot of traveling around, working in different cities.
There was no place as beautiful, benevolent, and whose people were more alive.
I've raised my seven children there.
I love the city, the culture, everything about it, more than the way it's going today.
What's happening today is it's on an accelerated decline.
The problems are manmade.
We've got an abnormal amount of street crime.
It's in your face.
Corporations and businesses can no longer make a living.
Nordstrom, Target, CVS, Walgreens, their profit margin is very little.
And when you start stealing, they're saying, look, we'd rather not operate in an area where we're not going to make any profit.
That's what's happening between crime, the homeless on the streets.
Not that they're the cause of all the crime, but the very fact they're present is deterring people from coming.
Corporations don't want to deal with that, so they're leaving the city.
