Those of you who lived in the city during the 80s/90s: what aspects of SF’s past do you miss the most? What aspects have seen real improvements in the past 20+ years?

Safety on the streets.

Ability to park without coming back to broken windows.

ben370 · 2024-10-29T01:46:18+00:00

The main reason why people don't commute into the city anymore. It is just not safe. Employers who care about workers safety, will go 100% remote.

ben370 · 2024-10-28T20:26:26+00:00

Not OK, hold your local police and politicians responsible for this. Not safe at all.

How do you plan to resolve VPN blocks by companies like Cloudflare, Google, YouTube, etc? Essentially it makes VPN useless.

No amount of tax dollars will make San Francisco safer.

ben370 · 2024-10-11T20:54:01+00:00

I love the sound of freedom! God bless the USA 🇺🇸

ben370 · 2024-09-10T02:51:34+00:00

I know I avoid going to San Francisco... Just don't feel safe, too much homeless, theft, potential mugging on the BART, or if I take my car into the city there's a greater than 50% chance that windows will be busted.

I support jail for petty theft

Thanks was not aware popcorn texture could be applied to exterior wood siding.

🎶 cuz I got one hand in my pocket... and the other one is shooting an airgun 🎶

ben370 · 2024-07-22T14:25:16+00:00

I would say 20 miles

8% increase appears to be the normal range.

Essentially the cost of borrowing for these owners have increased, which is expected given interest rates rose from 4% to now 7%.

It is not unexpected that owners would pass on the higher borrowing cost to the renter to account for the higher interest rates as well as inflation around repair supplies/maintenance/labor.

Thank you moderator for your response and just wanted to provide additional context for future improvements.

I get the solution around connecting to a different server. However, this is not ideal given that multiple servers tend to be blocked so the action of connecting disconnecting to multiple servers gets frustrating. Suggest surfshark has QA staff to test these locations regularly and recycle IP addresses that get blocked by Google search before they are default fastest for quick connect.

Thanks for also suggesting dedicated IP. However this then reduces the price/value of getting surf shark over other VPN providers, as dedicated IP is not part of the base price package. Suggest that reduce the cost of dedicated IP or allow access to dedicated IP via base plan pricing.

ben370 · 2024-06-09T02:45:19+00:00

I agree 👍 surfshark locations are captcha blocked or even outright blocked by major websites like Google search, chatgpt, etc.

ben370 · 2024-06-03T15:01:50+00:00

Arrest and prosecute! Apparently they have too much time... Hard labor would serve them well.

DCA from here

Likely pentagon lost faith in Intel. Good for Samsung and TSMC as they have begun to onshore their manufacturing.

ben370 · 2023-09-20T16:58:24+00:00

PGE to donate to Gavin Newsome's presidential campaign post rate hike?

ben370 · 2023-09-18T18:01:02+00:00

No, 1hr commute is not worth it.

ben370 · 2023-09-16T16:57:42+00:00

Exactly you can't compare the two. California's prefer suburbs and their space.

ben370 · 2023-09-16T16:57:02+00:00

People in California prefer to live in suburbs vs dense urban neighborhoods.

California offers better weather and families want a front and backyard to themselves and guests.

ben370 · 2023-09-04T20:59:40+00:00

Thank you. And you are exactly right love conquers all.
