It's crazy. The Bay Area used to be probably the most desirable place in the world. Now it's descended into something much, much worse. It's hard to see how the descent can stop. Short of very firm "cleanup" measures, things will probably get worse. But a great many of the citizens would oppose such measures. I usually see things in a positive light, but this is a hard one. I'd love to be wrong and see the Bay Area thriving in 20 years.
