Decimated by the pandemic, S.F. tourism is finally bouncing back. Here’s why

We saw cable cars full of tourists "WhhoOoooing" and it felt like old times.

"San Francisco’s reputation has taken a beating in national media outlets as city officials struggle to get a handle on homelessness and rampant street drug use.

The Financial District has felt strangely dull as some of the city’s largest employers continue embracing work-from-home policies and pull out of downtown office spaces..

full recovery will be tough to achieve without a healthy return of major conferences and business gatherings."

So many enthusiastic cable car riders this morning in North Beach. Almost made me want to ride one since I never have!

Walked through north beach on a Monday at noon last week and restaurants were HOPPING lines out most doors of tourists, very cool to see.

It surprises me how much people live San Francisco but I guess when you live in suburban hell it feels pretty exotic.
