Very strange title, given that it's not at all verified by the contents of the article. I guess I'll have to flag this one, maybe if it's verified someone can provide a different source for the submission? Edit: looks legit based on other new comments.

Sounds like SF to me. It has never been "nice". I was commuting to and from work there for over a year back in ~2015 and it was hell then. I interviewed around 2017 in SF and it was so bad I didn't dare walk back to the station (caught an Uber instead). It's a terrible place.

That’s ridiculous. I lived there 2014-2019 and it was delightful. Certainly many bad problems that weren’t getting fixed but ray to day life for most people wasn’t anything like the horror show it’s made out to be.

I don't know why anyone would live in that city. Unless you're being bussed directly to a campus from out of area, it's an insane place to work, let alone live. Understaffed, under-resourced and under-appreciated.

You'll be shocked to learn there's more to sf than soma and the pier. Visit sometime.

San Francisco has the notion that drugged up people out of their mind have the ability and the right to live in a civilized society.. Rule by common sense, not ideology.

Both sides of the SF topic are absolutely poisoned by ideology. It's a borderline un-discussable topic on the internet at this point, even on HN.

SF in a lot of ways is a microcosm of the US and the broader world which is currently suffering what can only be described as emergent behavior in social networking. Like unintended gradient descent to get everybody maximally polarized by learning what most upsets them and feeding them more of that.

San Francisco is still only number 66 in murders/population of US cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... Though Oakland is number 23.

Or 18 on this list: https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-wi...
