Frisco has been said for a long time by black San Franciscans (of which there are currently so few there is literally a movie called the last black man in San Francisco). Cringe if you want but there is history behind calling SF Frisco in certain communities.

This topic has pretty much been the headlining crisis in SF news for the last 20 years. (Well, along with a bunch of other equally dire problems.)
There’s even an award-winning independent film about the topic (a fictional drama) from 2019 called “The Last Black Man In San Francisco”.
