Not a great experience, makes me not want to return to the city.

Enforcement of covid rules is lopsided, and aimed at measures that will not make a difference in public health. Measures that will give the tourism industry here a false air of doing something, especially those which won t make a difference (given the latest science on the virus) are prioritized.

Buildings are packed and full, social distancing ignored and not enforced, especially in the pricey businesses around the yacht club.

The free, open air areas around parks are policed heavily. People walking alone 30 feet from others are instructed to put their mask back on (if it s off to get some fresh air for a moment) and told about a city mandate. Unfortunately, in open air with lots of space between people, adding a mask is about as effective as weaning a condom during the dinner and movie portion of a date.

Sure wish they d focus more on the high-risk parts of tourism, like the crowded indoor spaces, but I guess that d be policing the high rollers more than they re comfortable doing.
