I have spent 2 months in SF over my life and have never felt unsafe while walking anywhere. My last trip there I walked probably 10 miles/day on average, including through some worse neighborhoods, and 1) the walks are way nicer than anywhere I’ve ever lived before 2) never felt unsafe.

Did see a few guys smoking crack lol but you see those type of people in every city if you walk around enough.

I currently live near downtown Los Angeles and it’s 100% worse than SF, but still tolerable. SF is just so beautiful, it’s hard not to have a good time there. Not so true for LA lol.

It’s hard to tell since their quarterly filings don’t provide reconciliations, but combining that info with their 2021 total filing, here’s my best explanation as a CPA:

  1. Pfizer sells into a lot of foreign countries with different tax rates than the US. On their 2021 tax rec, this was the single largest driver of their low tax rate

  2. They’ve received a lot of tax credits from their vaccine distribution both in 2021 and 2022

  3. They had IRS resolutions in 2022 that reduced their tax expense in prior years, which reduces this years income tax expense

  4. The actual tax they paid was much higher than the $356 million reported here. It’s just that income tax expense includes deferred taxes for future years, which are very negative right now. For reference, they’ve paid almost $5 billion of tax for 2022 so far

“Most walkable city in America”. So walkable, there is a website showing the locations of human feces on sidewalks, among other places. https://wmmr.com/2019/04/17/someone-made-an-interactive-san-francisco-poop-map/

And check out this video. I’m very thankful I don’t live there.
