San Francisco: From Flower Power to FOMO? What the Redditsphere Thinks Happened
Ah, San Francisco. City of sourdough, cable cars, and enough tech billionaires to launch a space fleet to Alpha Centauri (though knowing them, they'd probably complain about the Wi-Fi). But lately, browsing the San Francisco subreddit feels like scrolling through a bad acid trip. What gives?

| What Happened To San Francisco Reddit |
Where did all the flowers go? (No, not literally... those things are expensive)
Remember the San Fran of yesteryear? The Summer of Love, the beatniks, the general vibe of "hey man, let's just chill and watch the fog roll in"? Redditors seem to think that city's gone, replaced by a land of sky-high rents, tech bros on scooters, and enough venture capital to drown a startup in.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Exhibit A: "I used to be able to afford a shoebox apartment with a view of Alcatraz, now I can barely rent a bunk bed in Zuckerberg's basement!" - DisgruntledRedditor420
Tip: Summarize the post in one sentence.
Exhibit B: "Scooters are the new pigeons. They're everywhere, they poop everywhere, and they have that unsettling look in their headlights." - SFNative9er
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
The Fentanyl Factor: A not-so-funny twist
Look, there's no denying San Francisco has a drug problem. But according to Reddit, it's reached a whole new level, with fentanyl seemingly replacing sourdough as the city's signature offering.
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.

The memes are dark. We won't share them. But you get the idea.
So, is San Francisco doomed? Don't be so dramatic
While the subreddit might paint a picture of a dystopian nightmare, take it with a grain of salt (and maybe some garlic fries). San Francisco's always been a city of change. It'll adapt, evolve, and hopefully find a way to keep its soul while dealing with the growing pains of a booming tech industry.
Remember, Reddit is a place where people vent. It's not always a balanced view of reality.
How to Navigate the New San Francisco (According to Reddit)
How to find an apartment that won't break the bank? Good luck. But maybe try Oakland?
How to avoid getting run over by a scooter? Develop a sixth sense for annoying sounds and flashing headlights.
How to deal with the homeless crisis? This one's a toughy. The subreddit offers everything from empathy to draconian solutions (we recommend empathy).
How to find good sourdough? Apparently, that's the real challenge these days.
How to enjoy San Francisco without feeling like a tourist in your own city? Embrace the weirdness. It's what makes SF, SF.
