Is there anything left of SF? It’s been a shitshow for years , why anyone wants to live there is perplexing.

A ton of great food, lots of concerts and shows from all over the world, great weather, and relatively easy access to world class outdoor activities?

Heaven forbid someone would want to live in a phenomenal climate in a city with good diversity and tolerant people.

Back in the 80's during the aids epidemic, conservatives used to complain about SF for being "gay" and "Sodom and Gomorrah" but then started getting called out for being homophobic in the 90's, so they had to come up with new ways to express their disdain for the city.

San Francisco is a beautiful city and I enjoy visiting. There are parts of it that are an absolute nightmare, but that's also true of any major city.

It feels like San Franciscans have pioneered a new anti-gentrification tactic: dramatically lower the quality of life until costs reset to 2008 levels.

But if costs aren't going down, then what? It seems like they've already reached an equilibrium, and the "exodus" is just normal churn (to be replaced by a roughly equivalent influx, keeping prices the same).

SF is not the only place like that.
