The real douches are the millionaire homeowners who pushed for restrictive zoning laws for so many years. They've made their fortunes, at the cost of SF mostly only being affordable for the rich.
- pound 11y ago1) "millionaire homeowners" is pretty much definition of SF. And while roughly 1/3 of SF residents are renters big part of them are temporary here (boom and bust nature of this place, you can call them carpetbaggers) and are just douches who are not homeowners. 2) Doesn't matter who exactly are douches or who can afford SF. SF is ugly place and no victorians can help it. Bigger problem though is that rest of the country can be even uglier.
- pound 11y agoI'll add that people are romanticizing SF based on its past. Long gone past. Present is ugly.
