I believe that SF hotel occupancy is down, but it's not for the typical reasons that are fanned around: there are numerous South San Francisco hotels that are MUCH cheaper, 15-20 minutes away, and have free shuttles to the airport (SFO).

A lot of these SSF hotels are new and close to a quite a few ex-SoMa tech companies now in Oyster Point.

Apropos of nothing, on a 3 day trip, I did see a man, minding his own business walking, get "ride-by" assaulted by a mentally ill bicyclist in the marina. I think this fits with what I'm hearing about not prosecuting that type of thing there. Other than that event, the areas in SF I saw seemed cleaner/safer than it was pre-covid.
