Personally, I've generally been at least mildly interested in the juxtapositions of modern cities and 'ancient' history, and recall similar articles about ships buried in other cities - such as New York.
As such, I'm skeptical about how relevant San Francisco is in terms of generating interest. SF natives will be more aware of SF things to share, so we probably see more SF-related stories here, given the concentration of SF residents in a startups related community such as this, but that won't make e.g. SF politics, sports, etc. any more on topic.
- bdcravens 10y agoI do mean it as a critique of the relevance of SF articles. (This particular article is actually more interesting than the usual faire that makes it here, like real estate prices and social politics of SF) I'd guess that HN's traffic is 95%+ outside of SF.
- amingilani 10y agoYes! Thank you. I really don't find this on-topic at all :/
- khedoros1 10y agoI found it interesting. I like reading about things that provide some kind of tangible connection between history and the present day. I understand that you didn't find it interesting, but I don't understand how you couldn't.
