The 27-year-old has positively affected small businesses and mom-and-pop shops by touring multiple American cities to review suggested food spots. However, according to KRON 4, Lee made only three videos reviewing eateries called Double Decker (San Francisco), Chef Green (Oakland) and Mama T’s (Oakland) before listing the reasons why he left the area earlier than expected.

“I truly don’t believe the Bay is a place for tourists right now… the people of the Bay are just focused on surviving,” Lee said in the nearly three-minute clip. “The amount of tents, living structures and burned cars that we saw people living in were shocking, to say the least.”
