Media outlets like the Financial Times are imprecisely extrapolating issues specific to downtown SF, SFGATE’s Alex Shultz writes.
Besides the provocative pictures, the story itself — co-bylined by two San Francisco writers — is standard fare, aiming for more of a surface-level assessment of the city. That’s somewhat understandable because the Financial Times is an international publication, and thus, even their local journalists need to frame their reporting for an audience that’s relatively unfamiliar with the comings and goings of San Francisco.
The Financial Times piece opens with one of San Francisco’s oddest stories: Late last year, a toddler was exposed to fentanyl and almost died of an overdose. We know from toxicology reports that the toddler was definitely exposed to the deadly drug. We know very little else, including, critically, where the toddler was exposed.
Many such “doom loop” stories don’t pick a lane. The Financial Times, for instance, includes illustrations of colorless Painted Ladies, of parks overrun with weeds, of an empty, abandoned Coit Tower. It quotes Elon Musk’s “post-apocalyptic” complaints about San Francisco, assigning him credence on the subject, even though I would venture to guess he relies on extremely rich-guy transportation methods when he’s in San Francisco, as opposed to, you know, walking around.
