I'd like to think that too. I miss the old SF from the mid 90's. That said, you need only look at the rest of CA to realize it isn't just tech ruining SF. It's increased population, increased wealth, and increased mobility that is allowing coastal CA to grow beyond the suburban capacity that is baked in to the infrastructure. Sure, there are problems unique to SF, or at least the magnitude is unique, but CA as a whole has gone downhill.
I spent half my life in San Diego before coming to the Bay Area. It sucks there too compared to what it used to be.

- 01100011 6y agoTo some degree yeah, but not enough to really change things. You can widen freeways and add a trolley line here and there, but no one, as far as I know, is bulldozing subdivisions of low-density housing and relaying out the road network. CA is trying half measures like allowing higher density redevelopment in suburbs and it makes things worse. The communities weren't designed for high density.
