Amid rising concerns about crime, drug use, and homelessness, San Francisco witnesses a significant blow. Google, the tech giant, has decided to move its prominent techie conference out of the city. While San Francisco struggles to tidy up its act, businesses are looking elsewhere to avoid the drama. The tipping point? Google recently hosting a conference at the city’s Moscone Center and then pulling the plug on its 2024 iteration. But here's the kicker – Google isn't alone. Many businesses have been re-evaluating their commitments to the city. And when businesses are seriously contemplating between dodging human excrement on San Francisco pavements or a walk down the iconic Las Vegas strip, well, the choice seems pretty clear.

Recent years have seen a surge in homicides by 40%, and Fentanyl deaths spiking in San Francisco. With a city's violent crime and drug-related offenses overshadowing its attractions, conventions, and business events are reconsidering their venues. And while some conventions are still happening, the looming question is – will they be back next year? Salesforce's CEO Mark Benioff drops another bombshell, hinting at moving the massive DreamForce conference out of the city due to public safety concerns. As businesses shutter doors, conventions reconsider venues, and office spaces remain vacant, San Francisco has some serious introspection to do.
