Bay Area (Between SF and SJC): - Mass transit is awful. This doesn't have to be the way but because of nimbyism and politics it is. Electrify caltrain? Extend BART? Improve service levels? Queue years of arguments... - If a public good can be privatized, a VC has already jumped on that idea... creating what feels like a technocratic society. - Lack of diversity. Go out in NYC and you'll rub shoulders with people from all walks of life. Go out in SF and you'll be around mostly techies because non-techies can't afford to live here. - Housing prices are insane and new construction is consistently blocked due to nimbyism.
