Is that inherently a bad thing?

  When it becomes impossible for artists, writers, and other culture creators to live in a city, I’d say yes. SF used to be an amazing haven for weirdos that shaped American art and culture. That’s all gone now.

    There are plenty of weirdos shaping American culture living in San Francisco today, just better monetized.

    100% agree, cities should prioritize building enough housing to keep it affordable. I don't think cities should prioritize maintaining the density or "character" of a city, which is how I had interpreted the original comment about old Kerouac or hardboiled novels.

  Cities should be complete. A complete city means you are able to have rich people living along side working people. Cities need to be complete to be truly green, because in this case the working class are commuting within their neighborhood to work, perhaps even walking or biking, not three hours across town in the cheapest car they can afford.
