#2SF needs to get the message fast that there are serious issues there that need to be fixed. Money is not going to fix a lot of these issues, policy changes will. Coming from someone who left for Colorado.

I actually want SF city to meet its fate and be an example for other cities what not to do.

#6I'm leaving San Francisco next month also. I just see no reason to continue living here. The weather is nice in California, but the city is so mismanaged it's a joke. The homelessness has been an issue for decades now and local politicians always talk about it, but what do they actually do to help? I genuinely have no clue where the high taxes go. I just find it so ironic that San Francisco is a bastion of liberalism, yet in Tenderloin every day for decades tech bros have stepped over needles and homeless people on their way to make their 200k a year. Why didn't they build more houses here? Oh, the views would be spoiled! Right. People can continue shitting in the street then. We don't mind that view.

My realtor told me the last handful of houses she sold were to tech employees moving from Bay Area (Twitter, FB, etc)

I think that plan will backfire. Look at Detroit.
Secondly, everyone will draw different conclusions when looking at the same data.

#9The die-hard San Franciscan is probably saying "Good!" They don't want anyone living there that's above average, is able to earn a living, or doesn't want to poop on the sidewalk.
But good luck running a city when 100% of your population is incapable of contributing more than they take.
