San Francisco wants to become a manufacturing mecca again

• beamatronic 10y ago
  But how will you deal with toxic byproducts of manufacturing? Sure, those can be mitigated, but that adds cost, and there is already high cost being in San Francisco.

    You mitigate by redefining toxins as resources through technology, i.e. carbon capture, waste-to-energy, toilet-to-tap. This will add costs, but in a macro-economic context, these costs would be negligible, offset by a healthy rate of inflation, increasing wages and overall economic growth. Plus, once toxins are resources, they have value and could be used to offset, at least partially, the additional costs.
