Another bit of bad news for downtown San Francisco arrived Monday morning with the revelation that the investment firm that owns the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and Parc 55 hotels is walking away from its debt, surrendering the hotels to its lender.

"After much thought and consideration, we believe it is in the best interest for Park’s stockholders to materially reduce our current exposure to the San Francisco market," said Park Hotels CEO Thomas J. Baltimore in a statement. "Now more than ever, we believe San Francisco’s path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges, both old and new: record high office vacancy; concerns over street conditions; lower return to office than peer cities; and a weaker than expected citywide convention calendar through 2027 that will negatively impact business and leisure demand."

I’m sure that’s the first thing the city Council is moving to make happen.

Within six months, it’ll be burned to the ground.

So who will they try to house there first? Homeless addicts or illegal immigrants?

Why bring all that division in here? It'll be free for all as long as they keep voting D.

It's been reported that commercial real estate is going to be a really bad investment very soon.

My wife thinks this is all a plan by China to make living conditions in all the major cities untenable so they can swoop in and buy all the real estate for next to nothing and then run the cities. They'll definitely get rid of the homeless as a first order if that happens.

And still they won't get it and assign blame elsewhere.

One of the comments under the story says capitalism is to blame.
