American YouTuber Ishan Sharma just shared a video on social media depicting “zombie-like persons walking on the roadways” of San Francisco, US. The film, showcasing the state’s struggles with poverty, drug addiction, and public security, has garnered widespread interest.
Sharma, who has over 1.5 million YouTube members, posted the picture on X, reading:
Watching this makes me cry,” I said. This is San Francisco. The it capital of America. Home to the country’s brightest heads. AND the biggest software companies”.
On the street, people appear to be struggling to move or appear unconscious.
Calling San Francisco” the most uncomfortable area” he’d ever visited, Sharma wrote:
” Half of the streets are filled with poor, mentally unstable, high on drugs, or a combination of all. Gun crime and auto break-ins are so popular. Theft is at an all-time deep. Zombie-like persons walking on the roads. It is a form of tech-capitalism ideal. Why ca n’t this be fixed”?
Numerous people on social media criticized San Francisco’s declining standing as a gateway for technology. A writer, Abhishek Shaw, wrote,” No, it’s not the tech money again, most of them have now shifted to Austin, Texas”. Another user questioned,” Why are n’t they inside prisons or rehab centers”? Some characterized the situation as a “reality test” and “scary,” while some made hypotheses about the character development of the viewers.
San Francisco’s poverty issue has been a recurring topic of debate. Last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk described encountering “violent, medicine undead” on the state’s roadways during an interview.
