$1.7m toilet. All San Franciscans that pay tax have been victims of theft!

What about $18.2 million for 260 tents? That's ~$5,000 a month per tent, which is more than I paid for my apartment in downtown SF. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/S-F-officials-w... It's just plain corruption, and it won't stop until voters make it stop.

I agree, that money is better spent putting folks up in empty units owned by real estate speculators.

It doesn't make sense to live in SF anymore. You can find those same jobs remotely. And with the pandemic, all my favorite restaurants have closed.

I never totally understood the attraction to it. Come live here in Baltimore. Plenty of tech jobs and a nice home in the city will cost 300k.

Baltimore? Tech jobs? Nice home?

Don’t get me wrong, Baltimore has fun bars and Orioles games are fun..but I’ve never once heard anyone try to sell Baltimore as a great place for tech workers to live and work from

“better place”. Where are you implying?

Just check states/cities where bay area residents are fleeing to, places like austin, dallas, raleigh, NoVa, Seattle, Denver, Miami, etc etc

For me there's no city in the US as walkable as NYC or SF. NYC is super busy, but I just like how I could bike / walk / transit virtually anywhere within the city.

I think the poster is implying that they don’t find San Francisco to be a particularly desirable place to live compared to other places.
