San Francisco is filled with people who don't give a shit about the city

https://m.sfgate.com/lifestyle/article/How-San-Francisco-broke-America-s-heart-13866685.php Snippets from the article: "Longtime residents worry that tech workers are drawn here for the jobs, not the city, and may never become stakeholders in San Francisco's future." "To take a midday tour downtown is to be enveloped by a jeaned and athleisured army of young workers, mostly white and Asian, and predominantly male. The presence of a boomer or toddler is akin to spotting an endangered species." "San Francisco has less of what makes a city dynamic. It has the lowest percentage of children, 13.4 percent, of any major American city, and is home to about as many dogs as humans under the age of 18."

Maybe if the locals let the city build housing, tech folks would be more interested in staying. Also pass laws to clean up the dystopian homeless situation

Yup +1. SF is a comedy of errors

SF has been actively passing legislature for affordable housing units that will take time to catch up and meet the demand. London Breed, the SF mayor, is actively focusing on the rehabilitation of homeless, instead of passing them through the prison/hospital cycle that has way higher infra costs.

Truly a gilded city

That’s a well-written article. Ms. Heller knows how to make the prose sing.

Most of Cali seems to be filled with people who don't care about their country or personal freedom, so no surprise. Too bad they keep moving out and spreading that infection.

SF is the #1 place I know of where people perpetually circle-jerk about the plight of the city. If you don’t like it, GTFO

Play the game, chaos is a ladder

That’s bc it’s literally a dystopia. I am well traveled and have never seen a place this dysfunctional (for homeless, its worse here than in third world counties I’ve been to).

This is possibly the least self-aware article I have ever read. Is it satire that is a level beyond my comprehension?

Sf is an absolute shit hole. People openly defecate on the streets and shoot up in public. Who in their right mind would raise a child in this environment? This is what happens when Democrats run a city, I expect it’ll go the same way of Detroit

Airbnb yayayaay May 25, 2019

Nah Boston and NYC are great. It’s when extreme left wingers. The opposite of that is Trump. Both are horrible

Are you an SF native?

Uber vgruvcc May 25, 2019

I moved to this city 4 years back and love it. It's a sad to see the state of it. Though I think Civic center has improved in past few years. I occasionally volunteer for city cleaning and sincerely wish those homeless would leave SF or die

You remind me of the guy from “Taxi Driver.” I have a feeling your political inclinations are equally evolved.

Have you spent much of your adult life living in other cities?
