I've lived in San Francisco for 15 years, and I won't miss these tech workers that are leaving. They can flee to their plot of land in Minnesota and make everyone out there angry instead when rents rise and their carpetbagger ideas show up on the local ballot. Anyone moving away isn't set on urban living and the type of community that's here. A city offers a mix of cultures, personalities, and ideas that don't form around people sitting at home taking meetings over zoom and hyping up the latest fad. Those that stay and invest in the downturn caused by the pandemic are the ones that belong here anyway. They'll be the ones getting once in a generation housing discounts, leasing cheap retail store fronts and warehouses, and building enriched relationships. It is a boom and bust town, and for the savviest entrepreneurs, a bust is worth more than a boom.
