#1,690 - Ultra liberal cities with weak on crime policies are slowest to recover post pandemic

The downtown areas of San Francisco, St. Louis, Portland, Oregon, and other North American cities remain deserted months after the pandemic waned, despite many urban areas bouncing back to life, new data show.

Researchers tracked smartphone use across 63 cities and found that San Francisco, which is battling waves of crime and homeless addicts on its streets, only has 32 percent of the activity that was recorded before the pandemic.

Meanwhile, Utah's Salt Lake City has bounced back strongest, with 139 percent more cell phone activity nowadays than was seen before COVID-19 arrived, shuttering schools, offices, and public transport in widespread lockdowns.

Other cities with downtown areas that are springing back to life include Bakersfield, Fresno, and San Diego, in California, Columbus, Ohio, El Paso, Texas, and Baltimore, Maryland.
