    Here in the Bay Area we have local politicians who brag about all the building plans they’ve shut down and voters applaud this!

    I don’t know why this is being downvoted so much. It’s a legitimate abbreviation considering that washing hands is the most well known deterrent for the virus

    Poop town SF is becoming less aspirational by the year. And can you really say SF is aspirational if Houston is growing 4 times faster?

    When you get rejected, it’s not about you. There’s just too many high quality candidates and too few positions. It’s just the inevitable outcome of a vast oversupply of talent

    The Bay Area is full. Voters certainly don’t want any growth here. It’s time for companies to move out of the bay area
