- pedalpete 7y agoHow so? This could be seen as a positive. They don't have any qualification of what defines an "Emerging tech" and now it gives you somebody at the government to potentially work with. It's a location for you to pitch your services to the city. Nothing in the article says they can prevent you from running your business. If you aren't breaking laws, it doesn't seem there is anything this office can do.
- quotemstr 7y ago> in San Francisco Why would you choose that city of all places though? The bay area as a whole is dysfunctional and San Francisco doubly so. You can do more elsewhere. I can understanding staying for the sake of family ties or an existing bigcorp job, if you're free, why would you use that freedom to walk into a nightmare?
- avocado4 7y agoWhat is the alternative? SF is flush with VC money and rich customers eager to try new products. Add to that the perfect weather, quality of life, and ability to get around without a car. There's no better place still, by far. As somebody who lived in Europe, China, Israel, and the US, I have no attachment whatsoever. I would move in a heartbeat I there was viable alternative. I sincerely wish there was one.
