Democrat-run San Francisco has faced criticism in the past year due to a rise in crime rates and visible drug use, prompting residents and businesses to seek solutions.
This issue has even permeated into the sports realm recently. Former San Francisco Giants player Buster Posey expressed concerns about the city’s condition affecting efforts to recruit free agents. NBA legend Charles Barkley said the city is being overrun by “homeless crooks.”
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors player Kevon Looney praised the support from fans since the team’s relocation from Oracle Arena in Oakland to the Chase Center in San Francisco.
“My experience has been really good,” Looney told Fox News Digital. “The fans have been great. The playoff run last year was amazing. The fans always sell out. They show up and support us. They still show us a lot of love.”
Looney acknowledged that every city has its challenges, but despite that, he remains fond of San Francisco’s attractions and ambiance. He particularly enjoys showing his parents around the city and experiencing its various sights and sounds with them.
“I love San Francisco. Every city is gonna have their dark side and things that they gotta fix,” he added. “But overall, the culture, people, the food, the scenery is still something that is an attraction for that tourists come see.
“I love my family coming into town. I’m able to take them to different parks and different things, take them to the pier. So many different things you can see out here and I love it.”
