Is the Bay Area unique in the US for being progressive, relatively walkable/bikeable, and having great weather?
This is a sincere question, by the way. (It's also a practical one - I just accepted a fully remote position, and I'd move to the Bay Area in a heartbeat if it weren't so expensive.)
- pb7 6y agoIf by unique you mean in the vast minority, yes, if the only one, then no. Bay Area isn’t really walkable as it’s really vast. Mostly just San Francisco.
- fermienrico 6y agoI think its too progressive where you cannot be a centrist or people will look at you like they look at centrists in alabama. Bay area has one of the most closed minded people when it comes to politics. Jack Dorsey (Twitter CEO) talked about it in his interviews with Joe Rogan and such - how do we make sure that voices across the spectrum are represented on Twitter and just not what silicon valley thinks is acceptable? There is definitely bias. I don't want to open a can of worms, but I personally don't like living in the bay area.
- redisman 6y agoPeople who think you can't be a centrist in SF or Alabama spend too much time on Twitter.
