haha. San Francisco is awful. That title is misleading and uninformed. Grew up there. Got a degree in math and comp sci and returned to work. Lasted a year before being so disgusted by the self quarantining of the rich.
It’s a tech distopia. I’m not even talking about having to step over human feces 3 times per block. I’m talking about the utter lack of ethics and values of the people who have descended like rabid vultures to manipulate the tech utopian thinkers and then run with the money. The damage is done and we’re just now starting to see the impact it’s had on the people that haven’t been taken along for the ride to the top. That place is a lost cause.
I guess it would have been cool to be there during the Alan Kay xerox parc days. Probably intoxicatingly inspiring environment. But now... I hope it burns. I’ll show up to repair and rebuild.
I do enjoy the Marin headlands though. And I suppose I’ll take a Taqueria SF burrito most days of the week. And the punk scene in Berkeley was great, and growing up skating there was awesome, but... meh the bad outweighs the good.
