Re: SF to Establish Office of Emerging Technology
#13finally the city is doing something about those whizz-kid whippersnappers and their goofy gizmos. i'm tired of shaking my cane at these freaks when they blast by me on an electric ouija board or whatever new-fangled gadget is in mode this week. between this and the city banning all new housing developments, we're finally going to clean up the problems that really threaten quality of life here.
This is about JUUL.
Also, if you don’t know what’s happening with development, please do not vote.

#14Couple of days back I was entering into SFO from 280 and just as I entered a city I had to slam my brakes because a poor guy was down on his knees on the road trying to pick some coins without any shirt. It was really sad to see something that we are only supposed to see in the third world.

#15This is incredibly demoralizing for somebody trying to pursue their dreams in San Francisco as an entrepreneur.
> in San Francisco
Why would you choose that city of all places though? The bay area as a whole is dysfunctional and San Francisco doubly so. You can do more elsewhere. I can understanding staying for the sake of family ties or an existing bigcorp job, if you're free, why would you use that freedom to walk into a nightmare?

#16This legislation has only been introduced. It will take months before it is passed into law, and in the meanwhile you can protest at its hearing dates, whenever they get scheduled, and lobby your local Supervisor to defeat it.
I do put its chances of passing pretty high, though. The veto-proof majority of the Board of Supervisors are anti-capitalists who hate individual freedom. They’ve been agitating for this law for quite some time now.

#17And this is how Democratic voters become Republicans..
Never pitch this office. These people are trying to centralize control and create a political elite-- insiders who may pass through their imaginary gates to the city. Pay to play.

What is the alternative?
SF is flush with VC money and rich customers eager to try new products. Add to that the perfect weather, quality of life, and ability to get around without a car. There's no better place still, by far.
As somebody who lived in Europe, China, Israel, and the US, I have no attachment whatsoever. I would move in a heartbeat I there was viable alternative. I sincerely wish there was one.

San Francisco is full of Republicans who don’t know it. This would be a welcome change.
