A GDP of $236 billion and you people think it's dying. Hilarious

@richard09able oh and the GDP in 2021 was 236 billion, not 221 billion, according to Wiki. difference of 15 billion dollars but who's counting

I'd ask the same question about a thousand cities back east. San Francisco has an annual GDP of over 236 billion dollars and you people think its dead. Whats the GDP of your city?

GDP last year was over $236 billion. Not bad for a dead city. What's the GDP of your city?

@richard09able Yes I would visit the city, I visit fairly regularly to see bands that don't make it out where I live. You clearly haven't been there and don't know what you're talking about. Yes, 221 billion dollar GDP in 2021, over twice the GDP of the biggest Republican city in the nation. San Francisco has a lot of decline to do before it's economic output is as low as that of the largest Republican cities in America. Your point about their failed policies and crime is valid, though they have figured this out and are changing those policies. I would never want to live in any city that big, I don't care what color hat they're wearing. City of nearly a million, on a tiny peninsula, no thanks

@richard09able Oh and there's this. I didn't even bother looking up the GDP last year. Turns out it was up to $250 billion, up $14 billion from 2021. What were you saying about the city dying? Quarter of a trillion dollars last year, genius

@richard09able Oh and there's this, from Oxford Economics. "Although a cloud of uncertainty continues to hover over the metro, San Francisco welcomed a moderate return of tourists and saw steady growth in its tech sector in 2022. Its annual job growth rate of 5.8% exceeded the US growth of 4.1% last year. Job growth was led by restaurants, the tech sector, and other services. We forecast that San Francisco will see job growth of 3.1% in 2023 and an average job growth rate of 0.8% in 2024 through 2027, above the forecasted US rate of 0.5%."

@richard09able Of course that compares to a GDP of about $950 billion in Los Angeles which is a larger city than SF, but a very liberal "blue" city. LA comes in at a whopping 9.4 times higher than that of the largest red city in America. give you some words to read, make you more educated

@richard09able Here's another comparison. GDP of San Francisco last year was $250 billion. GDP of Utah last year was $248 billion, Kentucky raked in $260 billion. More dollars earned in SF than in the entire state of Utah and you're claiming it's dead. get a clue

@terejosh13 For comparison, the GDP of the biggest Republican city in the nation is 110 billion, less than half that of San Francisco. Jacksonville, FL has less than half the annual economic output of the "dead city" of san francisco

@dennisv8934 You're right, the city needs to change policies regarding homelessness, crime and law enforcement, for sure. The city is not dead though, from what I see of people livestreaming from the city every day. Tourists all over down there. Who cares about the quarter of a trillion dollars SF brings into California every year? I do.

@richard09able the Oxford article continues, "San Francisco had GDP growth of 1.2% in 2022, lower than the US rate of 2.0% in 2022. GDP growth was led by professional and technical services and real estate. We forecast that San Francisco will withstand the threat of tech layoffs and see 2023 GDP growth of 2.1% and average annual GDP growth of 2.5% in 2024 through 2027, above the forecasted US rate of 1.8%. Home to Salesforce, Twitter, and a number of tech firms — many of whom have announced layoffs — San Francisco had tech job growth of 5.2% in 2022 as well as related GDP growth of 2.5%. We forecast that tech jobs will decline in the first half of 2023 but recover and grow at an annual average rate of 1.8% in 2023 through 2027. San Francisco saw the return of many domestic tourists. Data from Tourism Economics shows that domestic overnight visits to San Francisco in 2022 surpassed the 2019 levels, while total visitor spending has recovered 50%." read much?

@richard09able What's the highest GDP of any Republican city in the nation, that you're aware of? Jacksonville is the largest red city, gdp only 110 billion.

but Brad here has a photo of a woman as his icon, so we can't expect Brad to understand things like numbers, can we Brad
