San Francisco in 1958 

@Durango DeCarlo Democrats ruined it.

I wish we could go back now it's full of illegals, drugs, homeless and scum

@@vegasyo11 i was homeless so u can kiss my ass

Domino oh yea go into San Francisco and Los Angeles and tell me how liberalism has worked? No character no morals no boundaries Now it’s druggies and shit and needles everywhere

I arrived in California as a one year old in 1957. California was heaven for a boy growing up there in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. As a boy I spent time in southern and northern California. I saw the slow decline after the 1990's mainly from the invasion of people from the other side of the southern border. The crime from my home town just north of San Francisco is coming mainly from one group. Dangerous gangs like MS13 run around free, illegals on street corners with stolen SSN numbers wait to get picked up for work, millions of immigrants refusing to speak English, refusing to assimilate into American culture, and millions of immigrants refusing to pledge allegiance to the nation and flag. In the past immigrants loved the USA, today's invasion hate America and the people who created it. I spent a lot of time in San Francisco mainly in the parks and saw a lot of freaky things like hundreds on hyperdermic needles on the ground, tents in the bushes, people in brood daylight pulling their pants down and taking a dump in front of other people. Homeless tent cities are everywhere in the bay area. I moved out of California 4 months ago to another state. So glad I left, but it's sad what they did to it.

@@Cokguzelyadidi Woke loony.

Very true

It's the biggest outside of China

What city do you live in now?

Your timing could not have been more fortunate. It (SFO) and the surrounding region - as well, that time in general within the USA - was wonderful, magical in many respects. No more. Cherish your luck. North Beach in toto, Chinatown,........, Charles McCabe, the Sausalito ferry (and Sausalito), Ocean Beach, the air...., the weather, the food, the people, the music. Take care.

tupacamaru2 what the hell are u talking about ? They have just less diseases than today

San Francisco was a lot cleaner people were very respectful things were very cheap,rents ,houses,no filthy streets and homeless...👍🏼😎

I mean the guy that spun the trolley was the driver... I agree people seem to be getting stupider by the decade.

Yep, sure would like to visit Twilight Zone's Willoughby.

me too

Before the Boomers took over and ruined the world

@@aunch3 Which happened because small brained humans went out into the world and futsed it all while they're kids grew misguided and stupid.

What happened was the Boomers came along and ruined the place, voting corrupt idiots into office while they dropped acid and danced around in circles like idiots

@@aunch3 I have noticed that...the last good generation was those born in the 30s. The boomers definitely effed things up and were handed a great economy and quality of life that didn’t even make it to their grandchildren. I do think there were other actors involved in getting some of those movements going but in the end the boomers bought into them.

@@BFaluup you have zero idea what you're talking about dickhead

100% correct!! Nancy Pelosi and her Nephew Gavin Newsom have destroyed San Francisco.

@@dodoboodrough6044 lol...Pelosi is a FEDERAL congresswoman dipshit.

Yet, now - homeless tents, lots of urine odor, & mass looting. I lived there 3 yrs in early '90s - lots of homeless who can get aggressive... begging -or try to con.

Yes, truly disgusting today.

@Domino I guess you are right and all the rest are wrong. Must be a conspiracy, eh?

The Greatest Generation, who created the America in this video, were followed by the Boomer generation who are the worst generation in history and they created the America you see today.

Every new generation that comes along wants to fix the world their parents broke. Except the Millennials who do nothing but whine and complain.

@@aunch3 beautiful ❤️❤️ you are so right. Lost the respect for others when the boomers came onto the scene. Sad for all of us. Give me the time machine, I will go back gladly and stay there.

Me too! I attended Paul Revere School in Bernal Heights, 1964-1967. What grade school did you go to?

The chickens are coming home to roost.

Yes!

Although black and white, 1958's The Lineup has good footage too. With both movies have remote in hand so you can pause and zoom.

Liberals

Democrats

give it a rest dickhead

The pyramid was built in 1972 14 years after this film. There was vocal objection to it at the time, including by me. However, I worked for a TA subsidiary at the time it opened in early 1973 and we were among the first to occupy the pyramid. I actually enjoyed working in it at the time.

Hippies added charm; the downfall starts in the mid 00s.

Can't believe what happened to San Francisco. Total destruction of a time we will never see again!!! Blows my mind.

@@mrgerbeck Drugs started the downfall which has led to the destruction of the human race. This has hit every city. Look at Kensington in Philadelphia.

@@patriciacolombini6567 At what point in history were people not on drugs?

Competition of bloodlines

Goes for Asian people and indigenous people as well as Jewish people and just about any race or culture on earth! Each race has certain cultures and places they tend to gather that can’t be shown in every video! But way to keep racism alive in your mind and spread it like butter.

@@spaceexplorer6636 I mean in 1958 in general in the USA and wasn't meaning the whole world, but I'm only amateur and casual observation but not far-fetched by any means - but maybe not a problem that far north.

GOOD FOR YOU ... GOOD FOR YOU ...

Do u not know all the looting? All the homelessness all the joblessness all the stores being closed for being robbed too many times, all the garbage in many of the streets all the zombies walking around now holding phones and mindlessly scrolling on instagram snapchat?

Beck Stein Today the imigrants are the Alcoholics and Racist!

@@jonmacdonald5345 . Nowadays white men sleeping with Asian women, Their fathers generation were not that cheap.

Aryan Bloggs Zieghiel gazugahiemien shiezenwiezen!

@@airjor1 don't forget to tongue-lash him for calling the City "frisco".

Update!!! I left my crap in San Francisco.

I blame the gratfool dead for being the boringest shittiest band ever but fooling so many wasted boobs tp worship them... I'd sooner listen to Monkees.(especially with Hendrix opening for them)
