Back in the day, this was millionaires.

Now it's billionaires.

I just want to get a pulse on the city.

How's security these days?

So I have a deep history with San Francisco.

What's going on, sir?

All these four lees.

Wow.

Democracy is cooked.

That's your San Francisco shot.

You had, like, the best of all the cultures in one spot, bro.

It was amazing.

Totally different world down here.

Don't you know DUI?

Everybody thinks that San Francisco is a bunch of sissies, but back in the day, we were all the kids of World War II veterans and blue -collar workers.

Fentanyl is no joke, completely different.

This is a place where really no tourists are coming.

There's like wave after wave of people coming from the outside with an idealistic vision.

Hold the breath if you don't want to smell meth.

This here is a blessing for many, many people.

good morning guys here in beautiful san francisco is it peter

is it yeah how you doing how are you i watch

your youtube videos okay we're starting a video right now i'm

sorry i'll get on your way okay no no appreciate it

how are you liking san francisco amazing amazing yeah awesome never been here before

so beautiful place all right guys

so today is a video about beautiful san francisco a place

that's been in the media non -stop for the last few years.

So today's video is about getting into as many sides of the city as we can in one day.

I could be a crater that just shows the blight in the tenderloin

or just show the beauty of Presidio Park or the wealthy neighborhood

but there are many stories coexisting here at the same time and there's an overall feel.

Is the city doing better?

Is it doing worse?

Where is it at?

So let's get down there, talk to the locals, get some interesting perspectives, and get a better understanding of what San Francisco is currently like.

Let's do this.

Here we are, Pacific Heights, one of the nicer neighborhoods in the city.

These houses are

phenomenal check these out i looked on zillow you see numbers like 15 million 20 million

this is the big money here all the way down to the bay so you'll see the streets are very clean

everything's trimmed manicured taken care of

so i have a deep history with san francisco first started coming here

when I was 18 years old lived here the last stint was back in 2020

and that was a very rough period in the city winter of 2020 2021 a lot of crime peak COVID

and so my wife

and I left the city a lot had to do with just quality of life issues smash and grabs, break -ins, street takeovers that,

you know, take over an intersection, do burnouts.

Not up here in this neighborhood, but in some areas where we lived, there'd be someone on fentanyl,

there'd be a tent, there'd be an RV parked leaking sewage out into the street and just a bad overall environment.

So from my understanding, that has been the absolute low point in modern history.

Now we're four years later.

Now these neighborhoods always stay pretty good.

To this area here, you have no problems.

You have no problems up here?

You don't have problems here.

They take care of these people.

Most of the times when the city we're working, we come in, we get down, go to the other side of the bridge, but we never had any issues with you.

I've been coming to the city for the last 30 years.

30 years yeah coming back and forth

and uh i love to see it it's a blessing that's

great kiss me i put on a table based on from

the table yeah yeah a lot of work you guys have

plenty of work here yes yeah this year is a blessing for many many people

such a san francisco shot here we have the driverless car

coming to you in just a matter of time i mean

you can just walk for hours in these neighborhoods taking in

the beauty we're seven by seven miles here seven by seven miles

but the topography is all over the place you live in

this neighborhood you go down to the water there you can bike along the bay go to the golden gate

which is over that way presidio park you can live quite a beautiful life up in these areas.

You've got your hands full?

I'm good.

Can I ask you one question?

Sure, sure.

Okay.

How is the city right now versus two years ago, would you say?

It's coming back.

It's the world that we're in, you know?

That's what I believe, you know?

If you sue the cops, who wants to be a cop?

If you want to treat the cops more like criminals, then who wants that job?

The city has 500 less police officers, so it's just like dog water.

If you make it harder to do it, who wants to do it?

I mean, it's all good, all good, but the city is different.

These have all been clients for 30 years.

Oh, OK.

Yeah, but, you know, it turns over and all different.

I've never seen this many dogs that well behaved around each other.

They're regulated.

You only have eight dogs in the car.

So then if you have this many on the sidewalk, where are you going to take them?

Anyway, have a good day.

Take care.

You too.

Yeah, he was saying back in the day, this was millionaires.

Now it's billionaires.

And it's hard to keep employees now just because of the costs.

100

Like you have to pay so much to be able to keep them in the city

101

that he can't make any money with employees.

102

So he's just doing it himself now.

103

this is great guys there is a lot more life down

104

here a couple years ago it was not looking at all like this as far as people walking out

105

and about people going to work

106

and this is really good to see okay first impression guys

107

so keep that in mind just what i'm feeling

108

and what i'm seeing this is fantastic i used to park

109

my motorcycle here all the time i mean there are less cars down here it's not as busy

110

but this is a big improvement i gotta say how you

111

doing sir hey the city looks great oh yeah thank you

112

you guys bringing it back huh well trying to keep it clean

113

because it's business area you know people want to come shopping and

114

that they don't want to dirt all over the place yeah

115

i was here a couple years ago it didn't look like

116

this no it looks clean you're doing a good job yeah

117

thank you oh this is great to see the big bus is full

118

union square for those

119

that don't know this is the center the hearts of the

120

city during the pandemic it really got slammed down here very

121

hard now you can see some of the storefronts here empty

122

we'll walk around some of these streets i remember what was open and what wasn't before

123

the famous weston st francis you can see that's not closed see much more of a police presence

124

we got this guy giving it

125

so i just read in the chronicle this morning sf down

126

45 000 jobs from 2019 level now a lot of these

127

are tourism jobs services jobs a lot are tech jobs people

128

that can move out of the city

129

and you can see here versus the u .s versus california bay area

130

and san francisco

131

so the city got really hit hard during covid with people

132

leaving town with tourists not coming it's such a big part

133

of the economy there's a point i'd like to make sometimes people say coastal elites okay now

134

that exists for sure people on the coast doing really well

135

and sometimes talking for the rest of country

136

when they don't know what the rest of the country is like

137

but i do want to poke a hole in the coastal

138

elites label most people out here are not elites most people

139

are out here getting by they're going to their job at the western saint francis

140

or could be singing on the streets or

141

working in construction

142

and they're just getting by getting through life raising their families doing the best they can

143

so it's easy to put that label of coastal elite on places like San Francisco

144

but most of the city is not that elite class.

145

Yes, tons of money here that exists but it's not a fair label I would say.

146

Democracy is good.

147

There's a great thin line between democracy and MIT people.

148

You just have to be careful how much freedom you can give to people.

149

Okay.

150

Okay.

151

So explain that in the case of San Francisco.

152

What do you mean?

153

Drugs.

154

That's a good problem.

155

The drugs?

156

How is it right now, would you say?

157

End of October, 2024.

158

What are your thoughts?

159

I think it's getting better.

160

When I lived in Morocco, the king, the previous king, it was tough.

161

You'd be walking, let's say, midnight.

162

Yeah.

163

But I see less homeless on the streets, I got to say.

164

The city bought hotels, the people in hotels, some of them don't understand.

165

In the 90s, in the early 90s, when the technology started to pick up in the Silicon Valley, the housing got so expensive.

166

When I moved here, I could get a studio apartment for $200 a month.

167

What year did you move here?

168

$79.

169

What do you think about America?

170

Well, it's in America.

171

There's nothing like that.

172

It's a beautiful place.

173

You know, I wouldn't want anybody to criticize and say, you know, against this and that.

174

A lot of times, foreigners can understand the country better than citizens that were born here, I think.

175

Because you have something to compare and contrast against.

176

It's like somebody living with his parents, right?

177

He's never been anywhere.

178

He's going to criticize his parents.

179

He goes to high school and his friends say, oh, your parents are tough, you know, this and that.

180

So he says it's the same thing.

181

When people trouble, if you trouble somewhere else, especially to third -world countries, then you realize that they're lucky.

182

Didn't expect this here.

183

That's interesting.

184

You think he's going to win?

185

Yeah.

186

Are you getting much love out here?

187

Yeah.

188

San Francisco's coming out of the political policy.

189

Lots of support from locals, lots of foreigners too, but the locals are living in fear that they'll lose their job,

190

that they'll get attacked violently.

191

They're going to get attacked violently? For what?

192

Just simply expressing their views or expressing what they see

193

and just in order to be honest that there's a cost to pay.

194

And so a lot of broken windows of your car, broken windows of your home are physically attacked personally.

195

Okay.

196

What about you?

197

Do you have problems down here doing this or no?

198

Yeah.

199

Yeah.

200

The first week was intense, but after you enforce justice or what's right and you hold people accountable, it's just momentum has come and you shouldn't have to live in fear.

201

This is a free country.

202

You should be able to express yourself, especially in San Francisco.

203

San Francisco is always the place to have whatever idea it might be, and that's acceptable.

204

It used to be.

205

Right, so basically...

206

It got more conformist.

207

Yeah, look, and if you look around, like, these places are empty.

208

All of these are empty.

209

What do you mean they're empty?

210

It's a ghost town out here.

211

Because no one wants to bring business here.

212

Macy's, they're trying to get the holiday season out, and then they're out.

213

You know, no more Christmas trees.

214

It's just daily...

215

America is great again.

216

Yeah!

217

Thank you!

218

it used to be

219

so colorful full of life here it was like almost yeah

220

had like dance around people to get you know here to cross the street

221

and it was uh it was just a different situation people who had integrity

222

and this is right now what you're seeing today i don't know

223

if you're a visitor here

224

but what you're seeing today they clean this all up this

225

is this is like this is it clean why visitors for

226

a fleet week four weeks five weeks ago dude the track

227

uh crack pipes need a heroin needles all kinds of stuff

228

all over the place are you from here yeah born

229

and raised uh in the bay area yeah do you love

230

growing up here oh yeah dude that's what i mean it's like it's amazing

231

because right here it's an international spot

232

so you have like the best of all the cultures in one spot bro it was amazing

233

and this is why immigration is great it boosts the economy but But there's a process to immigration, we want you to make a pledge to say,

234

hey, I want to do what's right with everyone that I'm joining in a family, basically, you know, and I want to do, and I pledge to be honorable.

235

And that's all it is.

236

It's just like, hey, man, do you promise to abide by these simple principles?

237

And if you do, then you're welcome.

238

Come on, let's go.

239

And if you're not, then dude, I'm sorry, tough luck, you know.

240

I appreciate it.

241

Thank you.

242

Thank you for voting for Joe. Of course.

243

Who else would I vote for?

244

Are you from San Francisco?

245

Los Angeles.

246

Okay.

247

See you guys.

248

Take care.

249

Okay, before those watching say you're pushing a candidate or this is a political angle on things, it's not.

250

It's what I run into.

251

If there's a Kamala stand, I'm going to go over and talk to that person.

252

I'm going to go talk to that person

253

because it's an interesting take of what's going on

254

And this is a way to access people's thought processes and where culture is at.

255

And if you don't like what you see, then this is not the channel for that.

256

how you doing sir how's security these days pretty good how's

257

the city police doing they stepping up yeah except did you

258

hear what happened here right no what happened uh there was

259

an attempt uh monday early morning at four uh there's three uh bunch of juveniles

260

and then they used the stolen lexus i -250 to ram the door

261

but it got wedged they weren't able to penetrate

262

because uh sapd responded right away and then one car took off

263

that way and one car took off this way at four in the morning

264

so they rammed right into the louis vuitton no they weren't able to make it in

265

because the car got wedged

266

because the tight squeeze it was hella funny oh the doors at the door

267

so it just got replaced yesterday i think so what they what they

268

and then what they started to do is a good arm garden uh evening graveyard okay

269

so how's business down here is it coming back a little

270

bit towards our back they're happy seeing us wrong wrong way oh geez okay

271

so everything's been quiet it's been quiet cool

272

so things are getting better in the city way better the mayor was here yesterday

273

and she was suggesting their little little speeds see those planters

274

the gray planters yeah i think they want to add more

275

so no cars can just benefit like

276

that did they catch the guys no they're all

277

that they go oh man i know man all right be

278

sweet well keep up the good work thank you you have a good day yeah take care

279

san francisco police cars definitely relics of the past what's going on sir

280

No work?

281

No work.

282

No work.

283

Here, here, here, here.

284

Find a contact like you said.

285

I'm just fighting for a decent contact.

286

Room cleaners, cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders, bellpersons, and others who've worked here for many years.

287

Okay.

288

there's the driverless car with a passenger and we have a closed store here unfortunately

289

this is a tourist hot spot we have the powell street

290

cable car you can see there's a building there closed down

291

one down here some stuff is still open how you doing

292

sir is business coming back at all not really not really

293

look anything all the convention don't come to san francisco they

294

or somewhere else mosconi center isn't filling up no better than

295

two years ago fair to say a little bit better okay

296

i'm seeing more tourists to be honest okay well good luck

297

with everything what's your name tony tony peter okay everyone's leaving

298

and you're staying yeah all right

299

and this is pretty bad here all these four lees this is the heart of the city

300

what was that before i think it was footlocker or some shoe company

301

so my theory with this cycle is things went down really quickly businesses tried to hang on

302

they hung on many for a while

303

and then left the people need to come back before the

304

businesses come back the safety security situation needs to be good the tourists have to come back

305

and then someone will invest in setting up a shop here because i'm sure the lease is super expensive

306

wow that's close i think that was walgreens

307

market street's an interesting one down there it's a bit more financial

308

and up here it's always been a bit rough

309

and then we're going to jump into the notorious tenderloin

310

and see how that is i've never seen it good

311

so i'm sure it's not now but what i'm not seeing

312

or i haven't seen today are the tents on the streets that's a huge improvement sf democrat headquarters over here

313

and this looks vacant down low and it's quite quiet on market street

314

how things going out here boss pretty good making a video on the city okay hitting all sides What do you guys, security or something?

315

No, we're out here for safety and service, pretty much.

316

We're out here to make sure the community, like, people can get through, like, make sure, like, the unhoused guests and stuff don't be blocking the sidewalks and stuff, so people can walk to where they're going and stuff like that.

317

Okay, so if someone's having a problem here, you call in the police or something?

318

Yeah, like, we're trying to step in and de -escalate it before we even have to call in the police, but if we can't do it, we'll call in and have them come home.

319

Okay, cool.

320

What's your organization?

321

Urban Alchemy.

322

we're out here every day we keep it clean

323

and peaceful for people to walk through and get to their jobs

324

and everything like that yeah i don't see the tents anymore yeah no

325

that uh that part stopped i'm i'm new here

326

so i don't know when it stopped but it's been stopped for a

327

while now they used to have a tent section for like

328

the homeless to go oh yeah like on jones i believe

329

yeah all right boss we'll keep up the good work thank you have a good one take care

330

so if you ever see those videos from san francisco where people are on fentanyl

331

or trank tents on the street most likely it's from this

332

neighborhood the tenderloin this is what it is okay i remember a couple years ago tents all down this street

333

and i've never seen zones look so good and i'm serious good job you guys looks good out here god bless

334

I got a big speaker.

335

The one that smoked all the weed that has a big speaker.

336

You know who I'm talking about?

337

Have you seen him?

338

Ma 'am, can I ask you a question?

339

Yeah.

340

341

484

if you come at them very rude i mean they're not gonna do

485

but be rude with you you know

486

so it's the way you approach people is a big thing you know

487

and it's like even here in the morning like okay y

488

'all it ain't no party place you know i'm like okay come on man we're all

489

490

and so they'll be thinking it's funny you know what i mean

491

and then they'll start getting all right sis we got you we got you you know

492

so that's the way you approach them you know well thanks

493

for doing what you guys do yeah you're making it look

494

a lot better you're welcome thank you see you later nice

495

nails by the way thank you very much you making those yourself no i went to a shop

496

and she did it all by hand are you serious all by hand let me see

497

that she is the bomb it's artwork yeah whatever Whatever you want on it, she can do it.

498

If you want your own picture on it, she can do it.

499

see you guys all right guys police stations right there it's not looking good over here obviously

500

hold the breath if you don't want to smell meth and that's rough right across from the playground

501

and then literally two three blocks up this way

502

and this all stops it gets really nice like four

503

or five blocks up very expensive real estate beautiful views of the city and totally different world down here

504

if you don't know my earlier content here it's actually an improvement but still that's that's pretty heavy stuff

505

fentanyl is no joke it's really taken over our city streets

506

and i don't know what you do it's not compassion though letting people rot away on the streets

507

not keeping the tents off completely you gotta carefully put your inhale here

508

yeah that's really sad that's really sad homeless shelter of some sort you see it in

509

so much of the country it should really be issue number one

510

or two in the conversation one of the top issues at least

511

all right guys this is the mission district a lot of younger people here more of the hipster crowd

512

see there's a pretty big art presence music live music stuff like

513

that that's what it was always known for

514

so i'd say in the city we're not going to go there today

515

but more of the preppy young part of town would be

516

the marina looks more upscale for sure it's definitely a wealthier neighborhood

517

and just blocks away we're now in noe valley a nice charming neighborhood a bit wealthier

518

and we're gonna go up over the hill there over the other side of twin peaks

519

and i'm going to show you some magic some beautiful magical neighborhoods here

520

that you don't see on many san francisco videos

521

and you can live like anywhere we all live in our

522

bubbles i bet i might be one of the only people today that's gone from pack heights to the tenderloin

523

or from tenderloin to pack heights like those two worlds never mix

524

and so even in this small city of seven by seven You have completely different universes and outlooks on everything,

525

depending on your financial situation, your safety situation, your education situation.

526

It really defines where you're going to live in this city and what you're going to experience.

527

So this is West Portal.

528

This is a place where really no tourists are coming.

529

it's a world away from downtown a lot of the people

530

that live around here might go downtown a couple times a year if

531

that it's in a way a different city it's through the

532

mountain there on the other side of the tower we have the ocean behind us

533

and if you don't have to work downtown

534

and you're not into more of the city vibe then there'd be no reason to go let's check it out

535

that's tight five minutes okay and they're serious about parking

536

and sentences no joke here you'll get the ticket hello hi

537

how is west portal these days how are things crazy crazy

538

yeah back here yeah west portal is just different than like

539

the other viewers oh i know i love it it's very incestuous

540

and it's hard to leave west portal i was just saying

541

that on the camera i'm like i bet a lot of

542

people here never go downtown it's well yeah you call it going over the hill you just get stuck here

543

because there's just enough of what you need right and it's

544

and it's nice

545

and everyone knows everyone there's a big irish community that's been here for a long super long time

546

so how's this part of the city doing right now 2024

547

things getting better worse same um well i think we're doing better than the rest of the city

548

so that's good

549

because nobody ever wanted to give us the time of day

550

like the downtown people they're like no that's too far nobody knows of you guys i know

551

so you don't deal with much homelessness or vagrants on the streets

552

but not to the extent of like yeah downtown's insane yeah like especially if i can tell the I was just there,

553

so I'm showing pack heights to the tender line

554

and everything in between okay because everyone lives in their bubbles right yeah

555

so like the neighborhood like from here

556

that way yeah they're all very middle class and then like behind us saint francis woods totally different story that's beautiful

557

have you driven through yeah i'm gonna go right now yeah

558

it's like mansion it's beautiful like their decorations are really nice cool what's your restaurant okay good food 30 years

559

so like we have customers that used to come like went through here yeah

560

and they still they're like grown up and stuff

561

and like they come here for prom so that's what we know

562

that they were

563

so you still have like a really good community back oh

564

yeah totally that's awesome you take care thank you take care

565

so i got that right it's a small community feel here

566

and you don't have to go to the city

567

if you don't need to work there

568

and it's just a small 20 000 person town type feel here

569

and then you go right through the tunnel to the belly of it you were born

570

and raised here yeah what was it like growing up here

571

pretty rowdy it was rowdy fun pretty lots of sports lots

572

of partying lots of fighting lots of uh mischievousness there are not many of you locals left right like born

573

and raised here a little more most of them are out of the city

574

because when they're they all had big families in the houses in the sunset

575

which you know they were putting three

576

and four guys in a room yeah kids in a room okay well once they all grew up

577

and then their parents passed away the houses had to be split up between too many kids

578

so they sold out at least that's my that's my theory oh okay

579

and then the asians started moving in

580

and renting rooms out one at a time

581

and saving money to buy more property and ultimately they've taken over oh okay

582

so it's a combination of some people just didn't like the

583

fog in the summer i want to be in the sun

584

so they moved over to santa rosa or up to russian river

585

or down to san mateo

586

so what is it like now many families it's either old people like me

587

that are hanging on or small families with uh you know the overnight millionaire type

588

that got stock options they can afford to pay these ridiculous prices

589

or these industrious people

590

that just save save save for the last 20 years yeah bought up the property

591

while it was still good and now they're all landlords and

592

when you're growing up you're saying it was wild here yeah

593

yeah there was a group of guys about four years old in this

594

that actually had a west portal gang and they were tough

595

so okay everybody thinks that san francisco is a bunch of sissies

596

but back in the day we were all the kids of world war ii veterans

597

and blue collar workers you know

598

and this is a pretty it's from here on down to

599

the beach was a lot of big tough people who is

600

the beef between was it like the irish the italians

601

or who was it well everybody kind of had their own

602

space in those days this was the irish neighborhood basically the

603

irish catholic neighborhood with a few rich jews mixed in for good measure

604

and then uh you know you had the other side of ocean avenue was a black neighborhood

605

ingleside then you had the mission which was like mostly hispanic yep

606

and then when it then

607

when it started blending down towards the cow palace there was whites there there was always conflict there between hispanics

608

and the whites it's a really really bad people out there back in the 70s

609

when i was growing up okay and then then there was just the obvious ghettos

610

which was bayview hunters point and the western edition the tenderloin was always like it is now right

611

uh yeah

612

when you were growing up pretty much yeah where the hookers

613

go yeah okay probably worse now drug -wise oh yeah

614

because the city's let's it happen yeah the fentanyl's back

615

when i was a kid they were all big tough irish

616

cops my godfather was a lieutenant at terrabell station he was a badass this guy named bob marsh

617

so good memories yeah cool but everybody's gone now

618

and guys my age can't keep

619

that pace up we'll go into the grave soon i i've

620

lost five friends in the last two years oh i'm sorry everybody's just dying off

621

because of the lifestyle we led when we were younger i was smart i quit all those drugs when i was 27.

622

how are they i'm 65 now okay okay

623

but i can still walk around

624

and i can still do a little work on my house

625

so you know a lot of the people walking around here

626

not no i don't not now they're not here anymore yeah okay most of them are gone

627

your name pat durnell pat durnell peter santanello hey peter yeah i appreciate it pat

628

something like good and like neutral

629

and like understandable to watch introduce them to your channel i'm trying i'm trying

630

and they they love it thank you bro yeah i'm trying

631

to get san francisco right okay okay you're from here right

632

i am i grew up here yeah okay the point i'm

633

trying to make is you have the tenderloin you have pack

634

heights sure two different universes literally 15 minutes away from each other yeah

635

so to like capture the whole feeling of here is really hard it is i mean i remember

636

when i was like 18 i met a korean kid who

637

was like can you describe like say he was making a

638

little documentary yeah he's like can you describe san francisco in one word

639

and i was like i don't know like dichotomy i mean it's really extremes next to each other

640

and it always has been and

641

when i was younger like there was still a lot of homeless my mom worked downtown

642

and the tenderloin has been like that for a very long time yeah yeah

643

so the homelessness like yeah since covid things have gotten worse

644

but it it's not a new phenomenon really

645

that kind of like extremes right next to each other has

646

it's been this way a long time it's weird man it's like very

647

i don't know like the energy like not get all hippy -dippy

648

but the energy flows in a in a way like

649

when you're wandering around you just you feel it you know

650

well you you feel all the natural elements yeah the ocean

651

the breeze yeah yeah yeah the climates the microclimates i think

652

that's a huge part of that's right out here in the sunset it's a different world

653

and there are people out here who like they don't ever

654

leave the sunset like it's very people are very in small areas in world yeah yeah

655

and you have to understand like obviously there's a lot of

656

long history of like different racial groups coming together where people okay a lot of irish out here yeah

657

and the irish are very like my family's irish very insular

658

they were in ireland there were people who didn't they lived in ireland's very much like

659

that too where like there's a lot of like small distances

660

but like completely different worlds okay and it's like you're in your little tribe in

661

that area and they're yeah it might be a mile away

662

but it's like they're different we're over here it's weird

663

because san francisco is very cosmopolitan but it's also extremely local like you'll you'll see

664

that there you go super local that's how i needed to

665

say what high school did you go to what school did

666

you go to like what year it's weird there's a strong like

667

working class element here

668

and it's ice as every time i come back i see it it's still very much here

669

and so so many people think yeah it's the west coast it's elite right

670

and my point is yeah there are let's say elite class however you define

671

that sure but the vast majority of people are working hard not elite in any way shape

672

or form they're just getting through their lives raising their kids

673

like working in the shop working in the restaurant they're just in the world right no very much

674

and there's a strong conservative element here as well

675

that i think it's understated

676

because like san francisco i think has experienced wave after wave

677

of people coming from the outside with an idealistic vision to achieve some kind of utopian thing

678

so you had you had the beat movement you had the

679

hippies you had the gay movement like each decade there's the

680

tech wave there's like wave after wave of people coming to

681

seek like some you know it's like as far west as you can go right people coming out west

682

and this is like there's and you hit this

683

and you hit the fog and you hit the edge of it

684

and that's and this is where kind of like dreams come to die in a certain way you know

685

because it's like this is it

686

and then there's a people who live here i think there's a certain type of person they like harden

687

and reaction to that in a certain way you know what i mean i totally get it

688

because you're defensive of your homeland exactly yeah there's a there's this localism

689

and those waves i described are what gets what people think of san francisco

690

but it's weird because like i'm also proud of those waves too right you're also proud of like

691

that national you know that broader impact San Francisco has in

692

that regard right it's at the leading edge of many things

693

and many movements yeah

694

and here's something I've noticed I was just in Burlington Vermont

695

where I was from where I was born yeah I grew up a little bit south of it

696

and that seems in an odd sense way more sketch yeah

697

and off -balance than San Francisco right now

698

and I feel like San Francisco a few years ago yeah was really off -balance yeah

699

and so my friends here said yeah the pendulum was maxed out yeah and it's coming back yeah

700

and i feel as san francisco leading many things in the country yeah

701

that could be a good sign yeah

702

because i i feel like it seems way more well put together this trip than

703

when i lived here yeah i completely agree

704

so i mean it's way better than a couple years ago

705

if you go like terrible you should visit my aunt's bar

706

uh grandma's saloon it's like super old school uh bar

707

but terrible like

708

when i was here a couple it was terrible i mean

709

there was also i mean there were like homeless was starting to come out to this part of the city

710

which was not common because it's uncomfortable it's cold you didn't really get

711

that as much out here

712

and it was coming out here more graffiti more crime more break -ins

713

and i think it is getting it's getting better like i'm I think it's a lot nicer now and I think...

714

Thank you.

715

I don't know what's going to happen, though, you know?

716

Because people, like, my friends have been saying, like, no, this is the time to come back, you know?

717

Like, because people have been saying San Francisco is going to go the way of Detroit, right?

718

We lost the main industry, and it's going to hollow out.

719

I don't think so.

720

But I don't think so.

721

Of course, it's beautiful.

722

People always want to be here.

723

The real estate is just, like, where it is and the beauty of it.

724

It's, like, a bit of a dreamland.

725

Yeah, yeah.

726

The closer you get to that ocean, it's got that effect.

727

No, it really does.

728

I wonder yeah what the next wave is gonna be for

729

that vitalization because right now with tech it's the AI thing some people are coming here back in tech

730

because they want to work in AI AI is still you know that's the thing but

731

he's not gonna bring what's the next wave of cultural vitality

732

the reason a lot of tech people wanted to come here was

733

because San Francisco is a fun city right and had

734

that culture it had all these different scenes

735

that have the hippies I mean you know what it was like there were all

736

so many different types things going on but

737

that has really flattened out like it has everywhere right like yeah don't have as much of it um

738

so what's going to bring the cultural lights out what's going to bring young people

739

and live interaction you know yeah this is saint francis

740

wood just across the street where we're at we're getting at

741

that time where there's

742

that magical pacific california light the sun takes on sort of a dreamy feel to it nice cool breeze coming through

743

we have the ocean i know a couple miles away you're gonna see this video after halloween

744

but i'm shooting right before halloween check out those decorations

745

this is yours sir yeah oh wow you take it seriously

746

do you do this every year yeah i built every year we add like something new every year

747

so we added this one this one this year

748

and the boat's been here for a couple years do you have kids

749

or you're the kid i have two kids yeah i have two kids

750

but now they're off to college so they usually help me do this

751

but now they're in calling so i wanted to be tired

752

you gotta love this in a major city coyote alert

753

and most people in this city don't even know of this park i'm not even gonna mention it

754

but just another example san francisco has got

755

so many cool zones it's so detailed let's get up to the view pacific off in the distance

756

and we're gonna get out there guys the sun is going down i just wanted to show you this

757

because this is one of the most misunderstood cities i would say especially in recent times

758

this place has always meant a lot to me

759

and it means a lot to the people that live here

760

and a lot of people that lived here and no longer live here

761

when they get out into these parts of the city.

762

It's nostalgia and just an amazing feeling

763

and the past two videos I made two years ago and then peak pandemic time came from the heart.

764

I was just a bit discouraged with what was going on in the city

765

and it really feels good to be back right now.

766

All right I'm gonna drive us through the most beautiful park I've seen in the world Golden Gate Park.

767

It's a monster.

768

It's bigger than Central Park.

769

We're running out of light so we're gonna just go right through it and get to the ocean.

770

Yeah the foresight to put in a park like this is a beautiful thing

771

because this is the gem of San Francisco and not only do you have this massive park in this small city.

772

There's another one called Presidio we didn't even go to today.

773

All right guys end of the road today

774

and we didn't even see a quarter of the city

775

but the goal was to show you some contrast to show

776

you the rich neighborhoods to show you the poor ones

777

and always know that when you're watching content the creator has control of what they show you

778

and my goal in this video is to give you as balanced of a look as possible

779

and lastly closing for any tourists out there you know you

780

might hear oh don't go to san francisco it's dangerous it's

781

terrible come to san francisco right now it's pretty awesome don't leave anything in your car

782

Don't get a hotel near the Tender Line, but it is one of the world's most beautiful cities and it's totally fine to travel,

783

in my opinion.

784

So thanks for coming along on that journey, guys.

785

Until the next one.

注意したい発音

話し手はI'm, don't, gonnaなど、短縮形や弱形を236回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

「th」の音: wealthy /ˈwɛl.θi/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
「sh」と「zh」の音: immigration /ˌɪmɪˈɡɹeɪʃən/, decoration /ˌdɛkəˈɹeɪʃən/, contrast /kənˈt(ʃ)ɹæst/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/, impression /ɪmˈpɹɛʃn̩/
長い単語（アクセントの位置に注意）: immigration /ˌɪmɪˈɡɹeɪʃən/, decoration /ˌdɛkəˈɹeɪʃən/, violently /ˈvaɪ(ə)ləntli/, ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, documentary /ˌdɒk.jʊˈmɛn.tɹi/

日本語話者が苦手な音：

/r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: ridiculous /ɹɪˈdɪk.jə.ləs/, principle /ˈpɹɪn.sɪ.pəl/, racial /ˈɹeɪʃəl/, neutral /ˈnuː.tɹəl/, regulate /ˈɹɛɡ.jə.leɪt/
/v/ — /b/ にならないように、上の歯を下唇に当てる: versus /ˈvɝsəs/, visitor /ˈvɪzɪtɚ/, violently /ˈvaɪ(ə)ləntli/, vast /væst/, everyday /ˈɛvɹiˌdeɪ/
/f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: define /dɪˈfaɪn/, defensive /dɪˈfɛn.sɪv/, physically /ˈfɪz.ɪ.kli/, beef /bif/, lifestyle /ˈlaɪfˌstaɪl/

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
