In 1848, San Francisco had a population of under 1000
in 1850, it was about 25,000
By its first official census in 1860, the population was 56,800
This photo is of [Portsmouth Square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portsmouth_Square) in 1851.
that wagon is about to get bip’d
Just spitting on the sidewalk back then would get you killed. Now they shit on it
If only they knew the gold was the dirt under their feet
What is job printing?
But how much human shit was in the streets?! Gotta ask Ronny to show us the map
Imagine buying one of these houses for $1.50 in 1850? You can’t even fraudulently get that kind of return on investment!
Damn Louisiana fried chicken was around back then?
Something tells me the 3 old white dudes standing in the street started the gold rush rumor and made some serious cash off exploiting the environment and gullible people….not much has changed over the years
What hill is that?
I’m not sayin she’s a gold digger, but she did move to San Francisco in 1849…

Check out the Egg Wars from this era. Amazing stories
It’s Louisiana. It quite clearly says so.
The sign clearly says Louisiana.

Back then Louisiana was just a building
Schmoke and a pancake?
Looks more like a monopoly board in real life
What the hell is the Louisiana store.
Much later in time, but if you’ve never seen the upscaled version of the San Francisco street tour in 1906, just before the earthquake, check it out – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHkc83XA2dY
Is that the shop that has 400 oxen, 200 wagons and 20,000 pounds of meat always in stock?
Too bad they didn’t keep the design of it.
Y’all better buy land,sell gold hunting items!!
Damn, everything was gold there back then eh
Wow, even the picture is gold!
Yeesh, no street lights.
The original 49ers
About the same amount of shit in the streets, just you know, from the horses. OK stupid joke out of me. Carry on.
fuckin boomers, being in the right place at the right time
yay areaaaaaa
Downtown San Francisco no less.
Super cool thanks
Heard you could get a house in the hills back then in sf for only a million
Where did the alphabeters group together back then?
Probably just as much poop on the ground today as there was then.
