It’s a question that’s been pondered ever since we emerged from the Covid pandemic: What is the state of San Francisco?

Some say that San Francisco has been spiraling into a ‘doom loop’ ever since the pandemic passed as once thriving businesses and hotspots are now languishing. Others say that San Francisco might be down, but can never be considered out, that there is a future to be excited for and that those who love the city by the bay will find a way to build back better, stronger. 

So, where do things stand today and what will tomorrow bring for San Francisco? 

To answer those questions KCBS Radio and Audacy San Francisco hosted the State of San Francisco. A discussion moderated by KCBS Political Reporter Doug Sovern at the Mark Hopkins Hotel that featured a panel of guests: Tanis Crosby, executive director of the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank; Laurie Thomas, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association; Larry Baer, president, CEO and part owner of the San Francisco Giants; Brandon Snyder, president and COO of the Golden State Warriors; and Alex Bastian, president and CEO of the Hotel Council of San Francisco.
