| #3 It's sad. Can't even walk through the touristy zones near Civic Center anymore. A literal Shitshow. |

| #2 I can echo that Abu. Last time I attended was in 2009 and they blocked of the streets around Moscone. Open world attracted the best and brightest. Now all SF attracts are flies. For 9 years I rode BART into the city from the East Bay. Happy in Idaho now...never going back |

| #1 Larry Ellison used to put on a heckuva show for Oracle OpenWorld. I remember one huge party at the Cow Palace that featured performances by Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Nicks. Everything, well everything legal anyway, that you could possibly want in a party was there. The conferences, exhibits and keynotes were all extremely interesting for nerds like me. I think it was about 2013 when I last attended. After that I refused to go anymore. The conference was still great but anywhere I went outside of Moscone Center I ran into weirdos, deviants, perverts, bums, panhandlers, pee and poop. I imagine it's gotten worse since then but I wouldn't know because I'll never go back to San Francisco. Oracle Corporation is based in Redwood City which is just south of San Francisco. I think just about all of his life, Ellison has been a denizen of the Bay Area. For them to move OpenWorld to Las Vegas says a lot. |
