Siyamak sits down with David Lee, a restaurant owner from San Francisco. He shares his journey from being a successful local business owner to leaving California, and what has happened to San Francisco that impacts its residents and businesses.
“They just see the front of the house being busy, my restaurant is full, they’re coming, eating every other week, but they don’t understand what I’m going through behind the scenes. It was break-ins, the financials, the crime, the rise of cost, trying to maintain my employees. Sometimes it’s just not worth it to even have the business open.”
