“Tech killed SF” is such a tired scapegoat. I also didn’t even work in tech when I first moved here, does that unfairly change your perception of my “killing SF”? Without the tech angle, arguments like this to me are reduced to the weight of “KIDS THESE DAYS DON’T GET IT AND RUIN EVERYTHING THAT I USED TO LIKE”
- vmception 6y agoI don't care I'm mocking the entire sentiment. Every single thing I've ever heard about how "SF used to be" sounds even more unappealing than what it is today. "Oh wow all the currently nice neighborhoods were sketchy ghettos? How quaint!" but at least artists could live there! As soon as you leave SF you will realize how weak and absurd the various generation's arguments about SF are.
- corytheboyd 6y agoMaybe it came across differently but I’m not so emotionally attached to this place that I can’t see past the romance tinted glasses. Any place you spend a good chunk of your life in will have an impact, one of those places was SF for me. I’m not defending anyone, or really standing on a platform of my own even. It was just a nice place to live for a while and it’s also nice to be moving on :)
- vmception 6y agoThat’s pragmatic, hope you find greener pastures
