BUT: Compromise, skip the warf zone, go right to Aquatic Park.
Really the best advice about visiting SF is always have layers, never stay near Tenderloin, never leave valuables in a car, skip having a car—walk/transit/ride share—when in the city.
DO: take a ferry, do a @SFCityGuides tour, do visit SalesForce park (and GG/Chrissy Fields obvs), do catch a movie at The Castro, do eat in the neighborhoods, esp the Mission, do go to the Presidio/Ocean Beach…
SF history is amazing and the city does a good job with signage/waypoints but also @SFCityGuides tours are free (tip well please) and great. I’ve done most. Chinatown/earthquake/gold rush tours esp recommended

Who could have seen this coming? Me! Had an insane interaction with him in 2014; when he defended Adrian Peterson’s child abuse, then reversed himself when called out, then attacked and blocked those who pointed this out to him. Sorry this guy was always bad news. Good riddance.
Which is more unreliable: exit polls or preliminary jobs reports.
So many narratives launched…so many times new data comes in that radically modifies or even reverses the findings, but no matter, the narrative has cemented.
People who really know this stuff know how deeply flawed these mechanisms are, but we keep on structuring reporting and major decisions on it.
At least we have a medium simmer debate about exit/all polls, but no even “grain of salt” provisos are attached to most accounts of jobs reports, just breathlessly announced, with instant confident analysis about what it means….

-cut violent incidents on planes
-turbocharge national immune response
-curb spread of all variants, Nu hopefully included
If we delay vaccination travel mandates, or let in-store mask mandates slide, until after Christmas to “help” retailers/airlines we sow the seeds for another economic downturn that could hurt them most of all.
If Nu freaks people out, mandates to fly could help BOOST travel, among the vast majority who are not disinformation sponges
I really worry that we're going to look back on the decision not to require proof of vaccination to fly domestically as an enormously self-destructive decision.
For one thing it would cut drama/violent incidents on planes way down.
Requiring vaccines to fly (yes, with exceptions for little kids and those with actual medical reasons they can't) over the holidays would have been an enormous boost to compliance.
